ENGA Governor Sir Peter Ipatas has appealed to the warring tribes in the province to lay down their weapons for the sake of their children’s education. “I am appealing again to those engaged in tribal fighting to give up what you are doing for the good of your children,” he said. Sir Peter made the appeal in Wabag town when giving out six vehicles to school standard officers in the province’s six districts. He said it did not make sense when small people in the villages were destroying each other in tribal fights, affecting the education of their children. Sir Peter said this was happening when educated elites and business people were enjoying life in the cities, with their children attending good schools. “Your criminal action in tribal fighting does not affect the well-to-do Engans who live in the urban centres,” he said. “You are destroying your own families, and the education of your children. “Therefore, stop killing each other because your actions are destroying your lives and of your children.”
Sir Peter told the people to appreciate the development projects provided by the provincial government in the past 28 years to improve their lives. He said those who were becoming militants in terms of taking the law into their hands would not be able to see the changes taking place because they were blinded by their evil undertakings. The impact projects include the new K600 million provincial hospital, Enga College of Nursing, Enga Teachers College, University of Goroka Enga Campus, Hela Opone Technical College, and the Innovative University of Enga. “Our province is progressing. It’s your duty to appreciate what we have in terms of looking after public and personal property, so we reach another level,” Sir Peter said.
