Police in Morobe have been assisted with a K3 million funding from the Morobe Provincial Government for security operations in the upcoming 2022 National General Elections. Provincial Police Commander Superintendent Jacob Singura in thanking the provincial government said a big portion of this money will be used to cater for the allowances of the additional manpower from PNG Defence Force (PNGDF) and the PNG Correctional Services (PNGCS) as well as logistical support for police. “Manpower and logistical support are our biggest challenge, especially for a province like Morobe with a big landmass and scattered population,” said Mr Singura. He said his command had proposed to engage 90 plus personnel from the PNGDF and PNGCS to boost manpower in the province and was awaiting approval from the Police Headquarters. With logistical support being a big challenge, Mr Singura has advised Police Station Commanders (PSCs) throughout the province to carry out election awareness at their level within their areas of command. He said there will be a big launching of the election operation at a later date. The PPC said the Morobe province’s manpower nominal roll has been finalized and submitted to the National Election Planning Team at Police Headquarters and demonstrates that Morobe is well prepared to deliver the 2022 National General Election.
