Don't forget the Lae roads in 2014

One thing Lae residents must demand in 2014 is that our roads are completed.
A damning report on rehabilitation and upgrading of Lae city roads released last November by Department of Works (DoW) shows that  there was massive foul play in awarding of contracts amounting to almost K200 million,
There has been a comedy of errors in Lae road designs including concrete pavements, the report reveals.
A private company NME International (PNG) Ltd has been singled out in the report, which shows that  there was massive foul play in awarding of contracts.
The contractors have even pulled down many of the iconic rain trees of Lae.

The Busu Road, build under AusAID funding from 1998-2002 is still intact while recent roads have already started to fall apart.
