Aron Kojono, upon hearing that Digicel will be sponsoring the Bangapela Independence Games, put together a soccer and basketball team from his village of Mungum, in Angoram, to participate.

With the assistance from members of the village community, the team set out to Lower Ramu.

Returning Officer Cherobin Vaiang is hopeful to get counting underway by this Sunday, at the Angoram Community Centre.

Over in Wewak, reports from yesterday put polling team 74 in the Boiken-Dagua LLG, on Yuo Island.

From Yuo, Team 74 will move to Karasau Island, and then onto mainland Boikin, before it proceeds into town for the training of counting officials.

The people of East Sepik prayed and were blessed when Police Commissioner Gari Baki officially opened a new police station funded through the Constabulary’s modernisation program.

Two million was expended on this project and already, Commissioner Baki is contemplating on the prospect of increasing manpower in Angoram to maintain law and order.

While delivering his speech Commissioner Baki said the occasion may be small but it was also significant because it demonstrated the Government’s commitment to serving its people.
