Sumkar people call on MP to visit district

A chief from Surumarang village, Ben Samlal told this newsroom today that since their MP left for Port Moresby during the government formation, he never returned to the district since.

Mr Samlal raised concerns that the only bridge that connects the people to the Madang township has collapsed and is yet to be fixed while their MP is still somewhere in the city.

He said many children are not attending schools on the other side of the river because their safety is not guaranteed when using rafts to cross the river.
