THE body of the late Minister and Member for Usino-Bundi, Jimmy Uguro arrived at the Madang airport at 10:30am today.
CIS officers, along with disciplinary forces, escorted the minister’s casket, greeted by the people of Madang with banners. The casket proceeded to the Madang Provincial Assembly, where Prime Minister James Marape and government dignitaries formally handed it over to the people of Madang and the provincial government.
Tributes for the late Minister Uguro took place at Tusbab Secondary School’s Marape Hall. The casket is now en route to Odd Village, where the late minister, fondly called Papa (Godfather), will be paid last respects before departing for Torokina, the family residence.
