An interdepartmental team lead by the Department of Foreign Affairs will be visiting the provinces across the country to remove illegal immigrants in the country.
Prime Minister Peter O’Neill when commending the Foreign Affairs Minister Rimbink Pato’s on a job well done to market PNG in overseas missions said those illegal immigrants started entering the country before his government took office.
He said because of the systems and bureaucracy being compromised by our previous governments has resulted in the influx of the illegal immigrants.
He said this is not a sort of migration his government wants for the people of this nation.
“We have focus on big investments that will create jobs and wealth for our people.”
O’Neill added that these illegal immigrants are taking over simple jobs where our people normally do and venture into small business which are rightfully to the people of this nation.
He said the government will do its best in removing such immigrants and give back what is rightfully belong to the people.
