Law and order is everyone’s responsibility: Baki

Port Moresby’s Jack Pidik Park at Five-Mile has seen an increase in illegal activities over the past couple of days.

“Law and order is not just the police responsibility.”

This was said by the Commissioner for Police, Gari Baki, during a launch.

Baki told the media that the public assaults, particularly on women and girls, is not just the responsibility of police but every Papua New Guinean.

“We expect every Papua New Guinean to treat their own countrymen properly and if you’re going for a concert that is out for everybody to watch, you go there as a true Papua New Guinean and celebrate in the spirit of Christmas.”

Baki appealed that we should all respect men, women and children, respect law and order and be part of the Christmas celebrations at the Jack Pidik Park.

Those who go to cause nuisance and end up getting arrested by police, will be dealt with accordingly behind bars.

“Those who step out of line will be dealt with and may face spending Christmas behind bars,” warns Baki.
