Kulapi Community

The 7,000 square metre facility, set up at a cost of over K200,000 is conducive for several sporting codes to be played on, which include basketball, volleyball and touch rugby, among others.

PJV handed over the facility to the community in May this year.

PJV Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Operations and Governance Manager, Graeme Nielson, acknowledged the contribution by both the Kulapi leaders and members of their community.

The firearm – a K1 Kia weapon – was taken when some members of the Royal PNG Constabulary (RPNGC) Mobile Squad Six (MS6) from Mt Hagen, on police operations in Porgera District, got involved in a motor vehicle accident. 

The fully loaded firearm, similar to an Assault Rifle 15 (AR15) ended up in the hands of a civilian after a Toyota troop carrier driven downhill by an officer in the company of colleagues, reportedly ran off the road and landed about 10 metres downhill.
