"It is very peaceful. Even with the government delegation coming over for the opening of the Kavieng official residence, there was no need to request for extra manpower," PPC Ikumu told Loop PNG.
"The only issues we have are homebrew and drug abuse, with crimes related to them."
The PPC pointed out the similarity in crimes in the province with those in East New Britain, including sexual offences.
The Official Government Residence Kavieng was opened on Friday by Prime Minister Peter O’Neill.
