“This is the second time a drug trafficking crime has transpired in the shores of PNG without the police acting quick to stop the drugs from reaching the country.” MP Aia said.
He asked Minister Tsiamalili Jr on the stance of his department in addressing transnational crimes. He further stated that foreigners committing crimes in the country should be prosecuted in PNG and not in any other countries.
In response Minister for Tsiamalili Jr said PNG has collaboration with the Australian Police to deal with such crime as this.
