Lae’s Buimo Correctional Service Officers received brand new sets of uniforms at a cost of over two-hundred thousand kina (K200,000) from the Morobe Provincial Administration.
The presentation was made over the weekend.
Morobe’s Provincial Administrator, Max Bruten, said the Provincial Government and the Administration will continue to assist the National Government in supporting the Buimo Prison with its operations.
According to Bruten, the Buimo CS Prison has received support of over five-hundred-and-forty thousand kina (K540,000) this year.
This includes maintenance work concerning the Prison’s ablution block at a cost of K47 000, mattress for the Prison blocks at K188 000, K43 000 for inmates quarters and food rations for the inmates at a cost of over K21 000.
Mr. Bruten thanked the Provincial Government for making available the funding to support the three Disciplinary Forces, including the Correctional Service.
“I urge the Commander to continue to support us in ensuring that our Lae City Law and Order is maintained at a minimum level in ensuring our business community live and operate in a safe and peaceful environment.
“We must work as a team and as a unit. We must not work in isolation. It is important that we work in partnership to better serve our people,” said Bruten.
Lae’s Buimo CS Commander, Chief Superintendent Michael Wundia, thanked the Morobe Provincial Administration and Government for their continuous support when receiving the uniforms.
The ceremony was witnessed by the Provincial Administrator’s Deputies, Mr. Robin Bazinuc and Mr. Miring Singoling and the Ombudsman Commission and CS Officers.
