The Lae’s National St John Ambulance Service, Public
Solicitor Office, and Fire Service have received funding and logistical
support for their operations from Lae City Authority (LCA).
Deputy Prime Minister and Member for Lae Hon. John Rosso
who is also the LCA Chairman presented the authority’s
support to the respective heads of the organisations yesterday
at the Lae Botanical Garden.
When making the presentations, DPM Rosso issued a strong
warning to the city residents to respect and look after
important tax-funded public utilities such as National St John
Ambulance and Public Solicitor with their committed workers
so they can continue serve the city and its people.
“Do not assault workers of Public Solicitor and St John
Ambulance. Do not stone their life-saving vehicles. Do not
steal from them. Do not attack them.
”You will need them when you are faced with medical issues
or after committing a crime. If not you, your family members
and friends will need their services one day.
“Show some respect, love and care towards them. They are
human just like you. But are always giving their absolute best
with limited resources to serve all of us in the city.
“Any suburb that doesn’t show respect towards the work of St
John or Public Solicitor will not receive their services when
they are in need. The entire suburb does not deserve these
essential services.”
National St John Ambulance received an annual funding
support of K500 000 while Public Solicitor and Fire Service
received a vehicle each for their administration and
operational duties.
