Port Moresby residents to register
Minister for National Planning Charles Abel opened the National Capital District’s PNG National Identification (PNGNID) office at Boroko. The PNGNID office will open its doors to NCD residents to register by 8 o’clock Wednesday morning.
Mr Abel said PNGNID offices will be opened in each district and provinces, starting with Southern Highlands, NCD, Central and Western Highlands to follow this month.
Mr Abel said the ID system would assist government to identify eligible voters during elections. It will also enable proper allocation of budgetary and resource support and design of its development policies, as well as plan and monitor other initiatives and projects using evidence-based statistics.
For businesses, it provides a secure and safer financial transaction between businesses and individuals. Mr Abel stressed the need for people to register and that will protect their land when dealing in the land identification process. The opening of the NCD office was attended by Religion, Youth and Community Development Secretary Anna Solomon and acting Planning Secretary Hakawa Harry and other important guests.
