The Koki Fish Market in Port Moresby will see more upgrades to its facilities this month.
2 kiosks are currently being built. These kiosks will sell fishing gears and other necessary products as well as normal store goods for people coming to the market.
Also, the public toilets will be renovated, with a complete upgrade to hotel standards.
According to Moresby South Member, Justin Tkatchenko, the toilets alone will cost K100,000.
“These will be very professionally done, just to ensure that our customers can have a proper, clean and healthy environment,” he said.
In terms of security, boom gates were placed and secure fencing built around the facility, to keep it safe for customers as well. To date, Koki Fish Market is one of the safest markets in Port Moresby.
“This fish market is a success story for Moresby South and the city. We have one of the best fish markets in the pacific and that is only going to continue,” said Tkatchenko.
Over the five-year term, Tkatchenko said more facilities will be built and more announcements will be made.
“The whole idea is to provide these good, professional modern facilities for our people to make money and be a productive part of Moresby South,” he said.
