Tkatchenko says he will be working with the NCD Governor, Powes Parkop, to address the land issues in NCD.
He said before his appointment, he as Moresby South MP and Governor Parkop pushed hard to secure land in the city for the resident but were met with many setbacks.
But today, as the Minster responsible, they are going to do the right thing for the people.
For years the NCD Governor had pushed for a separate land board so that the Planning Division in NCD could properly map out the city’s development.
