Locals from Paiam town who occupied doctors' houses during tribal fights willingly returned the keys yesterday

To the Porgera DDA, District Treasury, and Board Members,

We, the concerned citizens of Porgera and Paiela, we wish to voice our growing unease regarding the misuse of the peoples funds that are meant to serve our community. It has come to our attention, through the prevailing public opinion, that these funds have not been allocated appropriately. Instead of being used to uplift the lives of the people of Porgera and Paiela, they appear to have disproportionately benefited the Porgera DDA Board members.
