Separation of New provinces between Momase and Highlands needed


There have been increasing concerns over a number of years about the difficulties faced by Papua New Guineans living in rural and remote areas of PNG in accessing services that most urban dwellers take for granted. A parallel concern has been extent to which the education of people living in these areas is poorer than that of those living in areas with greater accessibility to education, welfare and other services. The Natinal Economic & Fiscal Commision  has  been  dedicated  to  a  vision  of  seeing  regeneration  of  basic  government  services  across  the country. The need is most dire for our rural populations.

The people of Yelia in Obura Wonenera district Eastern Highlands and Menyamya distict in Morobe Province have faced tremendous issues and largely miss out of infrastructure developmental changes since the establishment of Papua New Guinea government. With various complains faced and made by the demoted communities concerning the issues affecting our entire community from road infrastructure development, Education, Health, small medium enterprices, Law and Order, social and gender issues, agriculture and so forth.
Service delivery is generally very limited across this two mentioned area as the so called mandated leaders were been overlooked in all these diverse sectors of services with very poor funds in their fake imaginary mind-sets to bring developmental changes towards the expectation of the people. Delivering services in remote locations is a significant determinant of those costs. 
In many cases public servants act as delivery agents themselves because using commercial providers is not practical.  During visits  to  Provinces  it  became  clear  that  in many  cases  Provincial  Governments  have  struggled  to  fulfill  their service  delivery  obligations  of  providing basic services to the least satisfaction and maintenance of the other areas that were already in place such as renovation of old government station, rural clinics and chambers in the area. 

The heart believe of Marawaka people are the separation of district which something can enable them to defeat the challenges that facing them continuously so the destination in 2030 to Make PNG The Richest Black Christian Nation can be materialised align to the Marapes government vision

The people of remote Marawaka sub-district in Eastern Highlands have continuously missed out of basic government services for indefinite period since 1975. It is a very large landmass with 34 ward council area,the approximate population living in the area is 20 000 plus which covers part of Gulf, Morobe and Eastern Highlands province.The community only access basic goods and services through by plane and few to Menyamya road- Morobe Province.  Marawaka since the establishment of government station have largely neglected and demolished by their very own leaders due to silly excuses of many hard terrain mountains in the area. The district administrative leaders, political leaders and public servants were not working with like minded or hand in hand which as results of miss management in the office.

Coffee farmers in remote Marawaka are struggling

Coffee is one of the commodity that contribute towards the economy of the country. It is a financial strength that boast some remote areas in terms of financial burdens like school fees and so on.  Marawaka in Eastern Highland is very remote that heavily depends on coffee to pay for goods and services. However last year till this year,I as a local student observed lacking of school fee assistance towards the students. As all student from the area came nothing in the beginning of the year to pay for school fees at various institutions, only bus fares. As of 2018 to this date coffee farmers are still searching for help or buyers to sell their coffee parchments. The local Mp through DDA must intervene and make budget plan to subsidize more on airfares in the areas of Marawaka because the only way to get store goods, school materials and health supplies there is by plane and few by Menyamya road to reach destination and vice versa.  This means if the airfare is K350,...
