NCD Metropolitan Superintendent Andy Bawa and his officers paid a visit to North-East Reformed Youth at the Unagi Oval bus stop in Gordons to thank them for assistance in keeping the festive period a safe one during Christmas and New Year.
Commander Bawa showed he and his officers appreciation by handing over a cow to the youth to distribute among themselves as part of a successful end of year operations.
“I am happy to be here with you today along with my police station commanders from all over the city the reason we are here is to thanks all you youths for the big job you have done during the Christmas and New Year period,” Bawa said.
“Christmas and New Year we have seen in Port Moresby, especially in your district of Moresby North-East was very quiet.”
“Starting from Gordon to 5 Mile to Kanage Street, Erima, Wildlife, 8 Mile, 9 Mile, ATS and all areas were very quite.”
He thanked them for keeping the Unagi Oval bus stop during the festive period to be free of trouble and petty crime.
“When we did our police operations for the period, we ask you to assist us and you have volunteered and you have given up your ways that you are tired of crime and want to change to have a good standing in the community,” he reminded them.
“I have been with you since day 1 and I am happy that you have made the decision to change which you have shown and I make this commitment with you up till today.”
“A lot of crime in the city is caused by youths- when you are not kept busy that is when you get into things that are not right like pick pocketing, stealing vehicles, robbing women, murder rape and many others.”
In addition he told them of the constraints police were faced with in terms of their numbers, which they fully appreciated with the youth helping out, adding that with the SP games around the corner their assistance would be vital in creating a safe city.
“To represent the Command in NCD we would like to show our appreciation for the work of you youths and give you this cow so that you celebrate this achievement and be happy also.”
“This is a very important year where we have the pacific games that will be held soon and we need the city to be safe, the streets to be safe, bus stops, and when we work together we can achieve that.”
“We will have visitors form the Pacific that will come and compete and a lot may think that Moresby is not safe.”
Bawa challenge youth from the other electorates in the capital to follow suite like the example set by the North-East youth
“You youths from Moresby North East have shown this, and that is something youths from the other two districts must also show, which is a big challenge to them.”
“Through partnership we can change that image of Port Moresby by giving the best pacific Games ever.”
