It is really challenging and of course very risky for our elected leaders to lead and provide services to our new born Hela Province. The leaders that we elect all have the potential to provide services, but some of them could not due to court cases.
While Some of our leaders were really busy with court cases in Waigani, the MP for Koroba Lake Kopiago and Minister for Immigration and Border Authority Hon. Petrus Thomas waste no time and deliver service to his electorate despite country's cash flow problem and tribal fight and natural disaster happened in our province.
Some of the services that Hon. Petrus Thomas deliver within his short peroid of time (9months) in parliament that I know of are as follows;
1. Signed partnership agreement with NAC to upgrade all the airstips in Koroba Kopiago which will start work early next year.
2. Signed partnership agreement with AusAid to build a hospital in Kopiago and Koroba. The signing and the ground breaking ceremony was witnessed ny Australian High Commission and MP Petrus Thomas.
3. Signed partnership agreement with Oil Search to improve agriculture in KLK The signing was witnessed by Oil Search MD Peter Botten and MP Petrus Thomas.
4. Bought Police Vehicle for Kopiago from the partnership with Kumul Petroleum Holdings and the vehicle was presented to Kopiago in the presence of Police Minister, Police Commissioner and other delegates in Kopiago last month.
5. Presented K200,000 cheque to Koroba Secondary last week to build classrooms, staff house and do maintenance. The cheque was given to a Catholic Bishop in Koroba during Koroba Secondary graduation last week.
6. Launching of PNG Power Project in partnership with KLK DDA from Karai to Hetamari in South Koroba last week. The commissioning was witnessed by MP Petrus Thomas, PNG Power Managing Director and other delegates.
7. Construction of New Highway from Kelabo to Kopiago
These are some of the services that was delivered under the leadership of Petrus Thomas. From the services that he provided within the short peroid of time, I can conclude that Koroba Lake Kopiago is on the right track in terms of service delivery and there will be more services delivered under his leadership. We all must put our political differences aside and work together hand in hand to develop our electorate.
