IT has to be said: The trouble that ended in five deaths near Port Moresby last weekend was a shock
to most.
After all, the people of Central Province have always been regarded as among the most peaceful, law-abiding and

trait that puts them on top of the best in the world. (READ MORE)

illegal activities.
These illegal activities have contributed to the lack of development in PNG and needs to be seriously
addressed.

help youths change their attitude and do something at the village level to improve their living standard and also
