Police Commissioner David Manning is suggesting the implementation of the Vagrancy Act, following reports of continuous ethnic conflicts in the nation’s capital.
He said, this will be the long-term solution but this time as a provision under a proposed Internal Protection and Security Act.
Manning said what is happening around the country should serve as a warning to all of us that things are not right and we all need to start planning now and put in place better laws, systems, and structures for a better future.
Meanwhile he called upon leaders of the Goilala and Hela people to take ownership of and end the ethnic clash in NCD.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - A landslide in a remote region of Papua New Guinea has buried 15 people including three children, all feared dead, a government spokesman said on Wednesday.
The people were asleep in a long house near a mine where they had been panning for gold, when the landslide, dragging trees and logs with it, buried the hut in the Goilala district of PNG’s Central Province early on Monday.
“Unfortunately, there are no survivors, from what we hear,” Goilala’s member of parliament William Samb, who flew to the site, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Only two bodies have been recovered so far, with locals working with shovels and pitchforks to dig through the debris.

High attrition and chronic skills shortages means we have two aging frigates with barely enough sailors to fully crew one of them to combat readiness, ships spending long periods in harbour due to manning issues, while the RNZN s poor spending of limited funds (Politicians in NZ largely leave the purchasing decisions to public sector technocrats. The NZDF has a very poor procurement record, look at the EH-101 helicopters, the P-8 purchase and the money wasted on the LAVs) means that the four inshore patrol vessels that only came into service in 2009 have basically been a giant waste of public money, pretty much just swinging on the anchor since around 2012.
Landslide in Papua New Guinea kills 15 gold miners, children
A landslide in Papua New Guinea’s Central Province buried alive 15 people, including 3 children, on December 28.

With no mobile phone coverage and no roads, access requires a helicopter trip or a two hour walk. The area is only around 100 kilometres north of the country’s capital Port Moresby the lack of basic transport and communication infrastructure reflects the enormous poverty in the former Austr
