Guns trade rife in Kikori
21/5/08
Guns are brought into the country in logging ships and exchanged with locals for money and animal species in the country. This was revealed by a project officer in Kikori, Gulf Province yesterday while listing the items confiscated by the Internal Revenue Commission team from a Chinese logging ship bound for Kikori. The officer, Max Malau, who has several health projects in Kikori and who travels there frequently, said the items like liquor, cigarettes, fertilisers, speakers, DVD players and pornographic materials were bound for Kikori where trading took place. “The crew member of Chinese logging ship MV Yang Yuan lied when they said they had no clue of the items in the ship,” Mr Malau said.
