THE Country Party under its strive to work for the betterment of the rural Papua New Guinea populous has established its branches in Eastern Highlands Province (EHP) and the Oro province.
This was announced by the party president Nelson Dabuwane in a press statement.
He said the Country Party was established in1969 and finds its strength in the local communities who make their days living through agriculture and the informal sectors throughout PNG.
Therefore they now have established their district branch in Ijivitari in the Oro province and in Eastern Highlands to advocate for the development of the rural business and livelihood of the people.
That has reflected on the comeback of country party in Southern Region in 2012 with the election of late Richard Mendani (Kerema) and Chris Haiveta (Gulf) presiding from the past elected MPs like Dobodai Wautea (Kikori open) and Mackenzie Daugi (Oro open) under country Party banner.
Dabuwane also said Country Party is gaining partners and members in EHP and the neighboring highlands provinces including Morobe and Madang and is happy to establish an office in EHP. The offices are established to push for the development of local famer’s including small to medium enterprises in 2022.
The Country party is aiming at bring development into the rural communities by providing employment needs for both urban and rural PNG as well as providing the basic services that is lacking in the level of the local people. Agriculture, land and Small to Medium Enterprises is where the Country Party lays its belief on and is looking forward to improve in those areas in 2022.
