WE DON'T WANT DRUGS IN ALOTAU

I WAS glad when I read the article on page 4 of the Post-Courier (May
7) titled "Two sisters jailed in Alotau".

It was extremely shocking to learn that these two sisters were put
behind bars for trafficking marijuana into Alotau.

I wondered why these women had to travel all the way from the
Highlands to my peaceful Milne Bay to sell these illegal drugs.

Why can't they sell it in their home town?

Unfortunately, these girls suffered great misfortune early in their business.

Thanks to the loyal police officers for apprehending these smugglers.

But it was very pathetic to know that a fellow police officer,
identified as a brother, was accommodating the drug-traffickers.

I suggest he should also be put behind bars.

I appeal to the legal officers in Alotau town to uphold the law and
eradicate unlawful practices.

They must look at alternative ways to deal with smugglers of drugs as
well as the users as these people are likely to cause disharmony and
disturb the peace in Alotau town.
