The election observation during the month of July 2012 saw our team visiting a number of areas on our trip. One such place was the Igam Military barracks in Lae, Morobe Province. As with many governmental institutions many have seen the deterioration of infrastructure around it. The once pride of our country lie in bush covered vegetation almost a meter high. There was however some areas neatly cut but the place itself looked like a ghost town. The only post manned was the front entrance as we came in but the guard was not like the ones I knew before in the 1980s were very smart and on guard. It’s a pity an iconic institution that was once rated as one of the finest in jungle warfare had been neglected over the past years.
