West New Britain Governor, Sasindran Muthuvel says it is no secret the Province is facing unprecedented challenges with Law and Order.
Governor Muthuvel said there are a number of contributing factors as the Province host so many ethnic groups and cultures. He said although the police hierarchy is supported notably, the growing population is putting massive social pressure in communities.
“While there is ongoing bureaucratic intervention which the West New Britain Provincial Government has been working on to address, the point on our youths can be easily addressed and it starts at home,” said Governor Muthuvel.
He added that no child is destined to be a thief or thug, he believes the environment and upbringing influences a child’s behavior. Muthuvel said as parents, discipline starts at home to raise a child to be respectful, peaceful and good citizen and contribute meaningfully to the society.
“I appeal to our parents or those who intend to have children to teach them necessary values to be a good human being, “said Muthuvel.
The West New Britain Governor appealed to parents stating law and order starts at homes and parents play a vital role. Governor Muthuvel said to fix the on-going law and order in West New Britain is difficult and a collective effort is needed.
