Government tasked to address influx of illegal foreigners into Papua New Guinea

The Member for Nuku wants the Papua New Guinea Government to address what he claims is the illegal invasion of foreigners into the country.

"The Government must establish a national security taskforce to do this job, because it is a serious threat to PNG's national security," Joe Sungi said.
Foreign Affairs and Immigration Minister, Rimbink Pato, said he will look into the issue as a matter of national concern.

Northern Governor, Gary Juffa had complained in Parliament of the same in his province, alleging a syndicate involving Asians and officers within the Department of Labour.
“It is not just in Port Moresby, it goes go as far as the provinces and the districts in this country and this is a very serious problem and if we don’t address it will get worse,” he said. NBC/PNG Today Photo: NBC News
