Conservation & Environment Protection Agency (CEPA)

CEPA representation in Morobe

Speaking at the information session this morning at the Lae International Hotel, Deputy Provincial Administrator – Economic Sector, Robin Kiki, explained to the business sector that they have been dealing with CEPA-related issues in Lae.

“Since we don’t have any powers, we’ve been going through the Lae City Authority so that we could have them to at least enforce those laws through the Health and Sanitation Act and all these,” said Kiki.
