Motu Koitabu area

Pari villagers to remove illegal settlers today

LOOP PNG understands settlers were given until today to pack up and move off the land they have occupied illegally.

Pari village is part of the Motu Koitabu area, traditional landowners of Port Moresby city just like Vabukori, Hanuabada, Kilakila, Tatana and Baruni.

Community leaders and individuals have expressed concern over the growing and out of control nature of illegal land grabbing of traditional motu-koita land by government, business and indivduals.
