NCD/Central Command Workshop

“Village court is traditionally for the village setting. However in a place like Port Moresby where we have all sorts of cultures converging. How do we address this?  This is where the peace mediators come in,” said NCD Metropolitan Superintendent Gideon Ikumu.

“When I first took office, there was a fight at Vadavada. I used the village court system,” he said,

Ikumu said by using ‘form seven’ of the village court system, people will be held accountable for their actions.

During the closing day of the workshop NCD/Central Commander Anthony Wagambie Jnr, said the issues and challenges identified and raised will be integrated into the Royal Papua New Guinea corporate plan.

The NCD/Central Command concluded the workshop on Thursday, after an intense dialogue at the Sogeri hotel, outside Port Moresby.

Just like any Government Department, the Police force is faced with challenges of financial and resource constrains, welfare and manpower issues.

All these issues were raised as having effect on the productivity output in the workforce.
