NCDC to enforce laws
By PATRICK LEVO
In calling on likeminded Papua New Guineans to respect themselves and follow rules and regulations to keep the nation’s capital clean, Mr Parkop also warned that the city authority would also clamp down on residents who had turned their premises into junkyards, car yards, illegal workshops, which breach NCDC health and sanitation regulations.
He said too many residences have been turned into live poultry and livestock
outlets which were a threat to the health and hygiene of other law abiding
citizens.
On the mooted buai ban which has gone viral on the internet, Mr Parkop said: “We do not intend to stop people chewing but we want them to chew responsibly. “When they have shown that they will be responsible, especially for their rubbish and spittle, we can ease these actions.
“People who want to chew after we impose these decisions and penalties can go to Central Province and buy and chew betelnut there and come to the city.”
“We are not banning chewing and sale of betelnut in the city yet. We will clamp down and focus on ridding sale and chewing in public places and public spaces.”
He further stressed that people who did not agree and who did not want to be part of these changes should pack up and go back to their home provinces.
“If these actions do not result in qualitative change in the attitude of our people, banning sale and chewing in the city might be the ultimate decision we have to take,” Mr Parkop said.
“The onus is therefore on sellers and chewers to do their part to help us achieve this noble and common developmental goal of cleaning, beautifying and improving the basic hygienic of our people and our city and cutting wastage of public funds to clean up the mess created by this bad behaviours.”
Mr Parkop said in respect of the setting up and beefing up the enforcement of the commission, “let me warn those city residents who breach regulations and rules relating to litter, building board, physical planning, health and liquor that we will also clamp down hard of these residents”.
“Those residents who do not keep their yard and premises in good condition will be issued notices and if they do not improve their yards and hygiene, we will issue Notice of Condemnation and demolish their homes,” Mr Parkop warned.
He said too many people in the city were using their residential yards to engage in other unauthorised activities and some were using their residences to set up repair workshop, keep livestock and poultry and engage in other illegal activities.
He said: “This must end. These people must get proper authority or permit from the commission or we will have to shut down their activities.
“I urge all our residents to embrace our goals to make our city a safe, clean, beautiful and prosperous city deserving of its status as our capital city.
“I call on our residents to see the city as their home, their village and their life and ensure that it has a conducive physical, social and economic environment that sustain quality life and inspire hope in our people and our nation.
“I call on those who do not wish to embrace these noble development goals to leave the city and go back to their traditional homes. This city belongs to all our people.
“It’s a national capital and also an international city with people of all nationalities and cultures living among us and sharing it as their home and their future too.
“It therefore must be built and based on values and virtues that are common to our people and are universal to the world. The goal of a safe, clean, beautiful and prosperous city are universal global goals.
“It must therefore be embraced by all our city residents to justify and qualify them to live in such a city.”
Meanwhile, callers on the buai ban have begun coming to this newspaper since Thursday .
