1) Indonesia Request For PNG Lae To Supply Cattle
Published On:October 22, 2018
INDONESIA has firmed up its request for Papua New Guinea specifically Lae, to supply 20,000 to 50,000 cattle when they host weeks National and International Sports event in 2020.
Papua Province will host this one week event where more than 70,000 sporting athletes and teams will participate. Because of Papua hosting, Governor for Papua Province Lukas Enembe has asked Lae, Morobe Province to supply 20,000 cattle for food in 2020 and another province will supply the remaining.
“But if Lae can give us the whole stock of 50,000 in 2020 than we do not need to ask our other suppliers in the province,” Mr Enembe said.
“In my last visit to PNG, Momase region, Lae to be specific, I made an undertaking that our government will purchase 20,000 cattle from Lae, to boost Lae economy and buy these cattle for our big sports event that we will be hosting in 2020. I said if Lae or Madang can supply the whole 50,000 cattle which will be eaten for a week then we don’t need to have our other Province provide, “he said.
“There will be more than 70,000 people participating, so we want to foster that business deal, and maybe right into the future for more prosperous economic and Trade business engagements, “Enembe said. Post courier/ONE PNG

2) Military soldiers help removing garbage from flood hit village
Reporter: Alfian Rumagit 3 hours ago
Jayapura, Papua (ANTARA News) - Military soldiers and police helped in removing waste materials, plastic and rocks left in the village of Kalipay, Waris, in the district of Keerom, Papua after flash flood hit the district last week.
"Big flows of water from the hill filled the river of Kalipay that overflowed its banks and sent the flood water to the village," district military chief Captain Bomer Sinaga said here on Tuesday.
Many villagers were not prepared for the flood and did not expect the flood would hit them when they were asleep that night, Bomer said.
The military post in Kalipay in the Papua - Papua New Guinea border area was also hit by the flood, but the hardest hit was the village.
Many houses especially those close to the river banks were damaged and swept away by the strong current. A number of people were missing and were not found until Tuesday, Kalipay village chief Lazarus Amo said.
Bomer said after the flood was over police and military soldiers helped the local people remove the waste materials and garbage brought in by the floods and repair damaged houses.
"This work of cleaning and repairs may last for a week or longer given the heaps of waste material, garbage and rocks and the damage to the houses caused by the floods," he said.
The villagers need help as they also have to go to the fields to tend their crops, he said.
Lazarus Amo said almost all houses in the village were seriously damaged and some are totally destroyed or swept away by the strong current.
"The villagers are in difficulty to repair or rebuild new houses to replace ones. We are very grateful for the support extended by the military and police including donation in food," the village chief said.
Villagers could recover some of their goods from below the flood water, but many lost their valuables, he said.
Amo hoped the district administration could help in coping with the problem faced by the villagers.
