High rate of homebrew consumption concerns community leaders

Mr Wago said the only police station in the area is Namuga Police Station but it is currently manned by only one police officer.

As such the only officer does not have the capability to maintain law and order in the area although community leaders reported the matter to him several times.

Mr Wago said the community leaders called on the Makira Ulawa Provincial Police Authority to assign additional police officers to assist in addressing unlawful activities in these communities.

“Community leaders here seek help from Namuga Police station but nothing could be done to stop the youths and men that are involved in these unlawful activities.

“As such, the community leaders called on Makira Ulawa Provincial Government responsible for law and order to send additional police officers to Namuga Police station,” Mr Wago said.

He added, the only police officer at Namuga cannot do this alone within the Star Harbour area of Makira.
