Governor for Madang Hon. Ramsey Pariwa had, over the weekend, witnessed the surrender of home brewing implements by youth from Alemo in the Astrolobe Bay LLG, in an effort to ensure a trouble-free festive season.
Governor Pariwa was guest of honour in the surrender program. He urged all the youth in the ward and district to refrain from producing, trading and consuming home brew. He stressed that home brew only creates more law and order problems in the community.
He encouraged more involvement in agriculture activities and SMEs. They must create and make an honest living.
The youth of Alemo voluntarily surrendered the home brewing apparatuses which were destroyed in front of community leaders and the governor. Members of the Madang police thanked the youths for the bold move.
The Surrender program was established in order to encourage better living and quality policing service to the people of Madang.
