Provincial police headquarter in Auki, Malaita province will no longer face challenges with electricity, as a new standby generator is provided for the station.
Installation of the generator is underway coinciding with the current renovation of Auki police headquarter, both funded by the Australian government.
Provincial Police Commander Malaita, chief superintendent Tex Tafoa expressed delight to the Australian government for the tremendous support.
He said Auki police headquarter office will be among very few offices in Auki to have standby generators, which is important when face with power problems.
“Now that we have a standby generator, I hope our work won’t disrupt by load-shedding like we used to before. It will also help my officers carry out their office work without concern on power supply,” Tafoa said.
The PPC hoped that with such resources in place, it will help bolster their work output and their general policing work in the province.
He stressed that this is however the essence of the support that will encourage and ensure police perform to the expectation of people they serve.
Tafoa said his office is happy for the support from Australia as they look forward to make great use of the standby generator.
