Do Not Build On State Land: PM Marape

He was responding to questions from Moresby Northeast MP John Kaupa on the eviction of settlers in the city.

Marape said there will be no more evictions for the time-being due to humanitarian rights such as COVID-19 and schools about to resume.

“I have told the Minister for Lands that the state lands that are vacant at the moment must not be occupied so that we can set up a proper residential area our people,” said PM Marape.
