Head of the PNG Defense Force Commander Major General Gilbert Toropo reassured the public that despite the differences between the disciplinary forces since the weekend which spilled over this week, they stand firm to deliver a safe and free election come next year with security high on the agenda.
Major General Toropo said there are only a few members of the two disciplinary forces that are acting out of line but the rest of the members are intact and set for the 2022 National General Elections.
“We have worked together over the years for the Police and Defence. Police Commissioner has put through a very good operations order and our members of the PNG Defence Force are working together with the police to ensure that our people enjoy the freedom of going to the Elections in 2022.”
Toropo said the two forces will be working in unity as they have already started election preparations together and the public can be rest assured that security won’t be a problem during the 2022 National General Elections.
