MP Kua gives to landslide victims in Chimbu

Sinesine-Yongomugl MP Kerenga Kua visited Mikai village today and donated food and pledged K10,000 towards the funeral expenses for the landslide victims which occurred last Friday.

The landslide occurred during torrential rain, when the father was away in a nearby village.

Kua expressed shock at the natural disaster and cautioned the locals to build their houses on hilltops where the geographical location is not vulnerable to landslides.

A young mother and her infant daughter including a small girl died when debris from a massive landslide covered their house last Friday night in Mikai village near Kundiawa town.

The deceased were identified as Bospe Paul and the girl as Nana,  while the infant's name was not disclosed to the media.

The bodies of the landslide victims were taken to the Kundiawa Hospital morgue and will be awaiting autopsy.

Another major landslide has completely cut off the 45km Kundiawa/Gembogl road on Sunday night.
