Bustling town of Alotau

The wharf down in Alotau, Sanderson Bay has been completed and is in use now. Also in use is the newly opened Transit Hotel where islanders come in and overnight whilst selling their market produce. Currently the hotel doesn't charge any fee. Whilst down there there are strong sentiments that the lodge should charge a little fee for the up keeping. This was aired by one of the worker at the hotel. Another feather was the improvement of the town main bus stop. This has been extended and now caters for passengers towards Gurney,East Cape and the North Coast

National Institution continue to scrap through

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.

Smooth Pollings for Lae and Madang

Polling on the ground for two the centres went smoothly. Most were in an orderly manner with little security issues. We visited the three electorates in the Morobe Provinces which include Lae Open, Nawae Open and Huon Gulf electorates respectively before heading for Madang Province. By the time we arrived most of Madang electorate had polled. Sumkar on the outskirts of Madang was our next stop. From the surveyed questioned asked in regards to political parties, nearly 90% did not support a particular party. The sentiment received was that people tend to go with the candidate based on his merit, status or influence on the community or society. When asked about the women's opinion the general answer that women gave was that they voted according to the husbands support. Most people that went to vote found that they didn't have their names on the roll and were denied the right to vote. Overall the atmosphere was calm and collective in most polling stations.
