PNG authorities to control Imported Vehicles

Papua New Guinea authorities will make a decision to control imported vehicles that will come into effect on January 29th.

PNG Road Traffic Authority Chief Executive, Nelson Terema says they are now coming up with control measures to see only quality vehicles are imported into the country by car dealers.

"Our streets are flooded with vehicle congestion.

"A lot of Papua New Guineans make big losses in importing used vehicles.

"Of course it is cheap, but after some time you will see that most of these used vehicles are no longer operating, and they don't even have parts to replace.

"Our move is to help people bring in vehicles that are of quality, value for their money, and one which will last them for long," Mr Terema said.
