Gulf contributed a lot to PNG, says Kavo

Gulf province has contributed a lot to the development of this nation through human and natural resources.

Governor Havila Kavo, in his 41st independence anniversary messages to his people in Kerema town last Friday, said Gulf has contributed two prime ministers, two deputy prime ministers and three Governor-Generals to develop this great nation for prosperity.

Kavo said Gulf leaders were not selfish but concentrated more on national issues to develop PNG.

He said if they concentrated more on Gulf, the province would be more developed than the rest of the provinces in PNG.

“They built this nation and we should be proud of this province. We have given enough to build Papua New Guinea,” said Kavo.

“But days of past are over, let’s put our heads together and develop Gulf province, put administrative and political differences away.

“We have to cross over. God has opened up windows of blessings for our province with natural resources in the areas of mining and agriculture. We need to be in unity and work together. We need to build infrastructure, airstrips, roads and bridges.

“The province has been completely run down, we need to change the mindset. Days of roaming around in the cities and towns is over.

“We cannot continue to claim Port Moresby as our city, but Gulf can become a city if we can collaborate and work together. We can develop Gulf but we need good leadership both at administration and at the political level,” the Governor stated.
