THE continuous illegal grabbing of land in Port Moresby must stop and the offenders be brought to justice, says former Customs Commissioner Gary Juffa. 
Mr Juffa, who recently quit his job to contest the Oro Regional seat in this general election, said there was a syndicate existing in government departments that conspire and manipulate official documents to satisfy certain individuals and foreign companies they favour without considering the local people that are often devastated by their actions. 
He said proper complaints should be laid against such people in the government departments and they must be investigated and brought to justice. 
Mr Juffa, who is also leader of Peoples Movement for Change party while backing Opposition Leader Dame Carol Kidu’s struggle to defend the displaced Paga Hill setters, said the people of PNG depended very much on land and such illegal land grabbing could lead to disaster for the future generations of the nation. 
He said legal procedures often took time and the best way was to go through the records and identify errors and prosecute those responsible. 
He urged lawyers and police investigators to carry out thorough investigations into certain government departments and arrest unprofessional officers.
