Member for Wewak

Isifu said absence of a Provincial Land Board and Physical Planning Board has given rise to illegal land grabbing, squatter settlements and unplanned development in Wewak Town.

The MP said some individuals in Wewak Town are illegally taking ownership of state lands and even going to the extent of selling them.

Isifu stated this is contributing negatively towards the district’s development aspirations and plans.

Illegal land grabbing is posing difficulties for his office to find adequate land to bring development and business opportunities.

The centre for relief supplies was launched on Friday by Minister for Inter-Government Relations and Member for Wewak, Kevin Isifu, along with the director for the National Disaster Center, Martin Mose.

Isifu thanked stakeholders for making sure that the people of Kadovar are safe and that the disaster has been managed properly.

“We have now brought the necessary relief supplies to the island and have taken care of the needs of the displaced people of Kadovar Island.”
