INTERNATIONAL Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI) has inaugurated a new US$149,000 police station in the Omili suburb in Lae through its Papua New Guinea unit, ICTSI South Pacific, and its corporate citizenship arm, the ICTSI Foundation Inc.
The PGK505,000 (US$148,470) facility, the second to be donated after the police station in Malahang last February, is part of ICTSI South Pacific's efforts to help improve the law and order situation across the communities in Lae, a company statement said.
The new Omili police station is complete with work stations, separate cell blocks for male, female and juvenile delinquents, an armoury room and interview room.
'This project is an example of a good public-private partnership initiative. It is our contribution to the sustainable development goals for our impacted communities-particularly to achieve peace, justice, and strong institutions. We, along with entire community, share the responsibility to ensure that the basic tenets of progress can be sustained,' said South Pacific International Container Terminal (SPICT) general manager George Gware.
The Minister for Lands and Physical Planning John Rosso attended the inauguration event and was joined by Police Minister Bryan Kramer, assistant police commissioner Peter Guiness, assistant police commissioner Anthony Wagambe, Labu and Ahi leaders, and representatives from the Lae City Authority and Lae Chamber of Commerce.
