Juffa said to bring change to the people, it would require commitment from everyone.

He blamed the government systems and the weak public servants for causing the delays in delivering basic services to the people.

“We will see development when we are willing to accept change and are willing to change ourselves,” he said.

Northern Observer is a community newspaper to inform and promote good governance in the province, an initiative of the Oro Provincial Government.

The monthly publication is aimed at informing the people on what is happening within the province and around the country and allows locals to have their say and contribute towards the development of Oro.

Speaking at the launch of the local newspaper ‘Northern Observer’ today, Juffa said the province is not developing because people are not working together.

He said the leaders, especially the members of Parliament, need to unite and bring Oro to the next level.

Juffa also urged the people to take ownership of the development of the province and not play the blame game.

Juffa said whilst the move by the Police was unpopular with settlement dwellers, it has been widely supported by most citizens of Oro due to the settlements unsightly appearance creating filth and posing health risks to the citizens as well as a crime hub where petty crimes were growing.

“Many citizens of Oro travelling into Popondetta complained of pickpocketing, assault, drunkard behavior and the sale of marijuana and illicit alcohol and illegal gambling which had also recently started and the activities were becoming an eyesore to the peace loving citizens of Oro. 

Juffa said although, he was on the other side of the house, all  that matters to him is to help the people.  

“I am in the Opposition that is a fact but I also support any positive efforts and any decisions by Government that are for the people and for this country,” he said.

“My anger and outrage and dissent and protestation will be directed at the policies and decisions that are not in the best interest of our people and PNG,” he said.
