City residents assured it will be business as usual

Posted on The National

NATIONAL Capital District Governor Powes Parkop has assured business houses, members of the diplomatic corp and the public that it will be “business as usual” this week.
Parkop’s assurance came as Parliament resumes this afternoon with the leadership of Government high on the agenda.
“This is a democratic nation and I think the people’s voices should be heard. Let’s just allow due processes to be followed,” Parkop said.
He urged the people not to pass early judgment on their MPs in either camp.
He also advised them to remain calm if there are any changes in the governance of the nation.
Parkop said police would be out at strategic locations and would be monitoring the main areas through the closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras to monitor activities.
“Let us show that we are a progressive nation. We value democracy and I call upon all of us to uphold our Melanesian values of respect and honour for each other and for our leaders,” Parkop said.
More than 1000 police officers will be patrolling the streets of the capital city to ensure order is maintained.
Police are calling on MPs in both camps to be mindful of their actions to avoid provoking opportunists and supporters into engaging into illegal activities.
Most schools in Port Moresby will continue classes as normal today. Some schools have left it to the parents to decide whether to send their children to school.
