Chairman of the Disaster Emergency Control and Tewai-Siassi MP, Dr Kobby Bomario, is calling on the Government to have and independent investigation into the cause of the magnitude 7.5 earthquake in the Highlands region.
Bomario said the Disaster Emergency Control is in the view that a proper investigation into the cause of such disasters, results will be favourable.
Supporting the call by the Emergency control chairman Dr Bomario, North Fly MP, James Donald, also raised this issue and call for answers from independent investigation into the cause of the earthquake.
“My people need answers as this earthquake is not normal.
‘We need independent investigation into the cause of the earthquake as many people have lost lives and properties destroyed.”
Donald said they will be seeking legal advise if nothing has been done to have an independent investigation into the cause of the earthquake.
However Hela Governor Philip Undialu have defended the LNG Project developer explaining that it was a natural cause.
“We may have many doubts into the cause of the earthquake but according to the US Geological Survey, PNG is in the ring of fire and it is likely that the cause of the earthquake is from plate movements,” says Undialu.
