Port Moresby City

The city residents’ positive response comes immediately after NCD Governor Powes Parkop launched the NCD Earthquake Relief Centre at City Hall car park on Monday, March 5, 2018.

During the launch, Governor Parkop appealed to city residents to help donate in cash and kind to support fellow countrymen, women and children affected by the recent earthquake.

The Governor also announced that the earthquake victims in Southern Highlands, Hela, Enga and Western provinces will have their relief supplies delivered to them immediately.

Speaking during the 42^nd Independence celebrations in Port Moresby on Saturday, Parkop urged city residents to stand together and initiate change from bottom to top and top to bottom.

“I am also equally committed to making our city and our country a place of abundant opportunities for our young people with an economy that sustains our nation into the future,” says the Governor.  

This warning has been established after certain criminal elements donned in Eda Ranu uniforms gaining access to properties in the pretext of reading the water meter or delivering water bills, end up robbing customers.

Eda Ranu Managing Director Henry Mokono said the use of its uniforms by criminal elements to commit crimes is a serious offence and the Management will not hesitate to use the full brunt of the law on perpetrators who are caught.

He said consumers have a right to deny access to meter readers who fail to present any form of identification.
