MP gives vehicle, uniforms







By RAMCY WAMA

THE Member for Mendi-Muniuh, De Kewanu presented a new ten-seater vehicle, K50,000 worth of uniforms and K80,000 allowances for the village court officials.
The presentation of the uniforms, vehicle and funds village court officials received is a big boost for the law and order agencies in the electorate.
Mr Kewanu on an electoral visit last week delivered the K80,000 allowances for the last six months and sets of uniforms to all village court officials and land mediators.
The event was witnessed by over 3000 people at Mongol Secondary School in Upper Mendi LLG on Friday.
The presentation of uniforms, allowances and the new ten-seater for the village court runs was a historic gift from the MP to the people as such gifts were never received by the officials from the past MPs.
Mr Kewanu said for so long these people were ignored by relevant authorities of the significance they have in the society.
He said: “So long as I’m in power I will ensure and oversee such support continue. The village court officials play significant role in ensuring order, peace and harmony in the society, yet we tend to ignore their in-put.
“Despite authorities’ ignorance they still continue to serve society with a big heart.”
Mr Kewanu presented the new vehicle to the Chairman of Peace and Good Order committee Yaungtain Koroba.
Yaungtain Koroba upon receiving the keys of the vehicle assured Mr Kewanu and his administration the vehicle would be used for village court purposes and that such a historic gift would make the officials to carry out their duties with their hearts.
“I would like to thank Mr Kewanu and your administration for the historic support towards the law and order officials in the electorate. This vehicle will only be used to support the law and order officials and their duties. We will give the best in serving the people of Mendi-Muniuh,” he said.
The District Affairs Officer, Masa Apon, added that for a very long time the people of Mendi-Muniuh were ignored but thanked Mr Kewanu for boosting the law enforcing agencies with the surprise gifts.
During the presenhtation, Mr Kewanu announced road rehabilitation works of K700,000
Mr Kewanu said the K700,000 would be used for the upgrading and construction of Kundap Muniuh turn-off to Kip in the Lai Valley LLG area.
He said Kundap-Muniuh road had been ignored for more than 20 years and he wanted to make history.
Mr Kewanus said the newly purchased PC 200 excavator would start working on the road next month.
“I am proud to be your member to work with you and to provide the basic needs. I will upgrade the road and the foot bridges that are of priority now but I need shared responsibility. Once I put these basic services in place, I need you to get into farming and that’s what I want from you. I want you to capture the economic opportunities that we can get from our land. Our land has the potential to supply PNG with fresh vegetables and that is what I want Lai Valley and the rest of the district to look into,” he said.
