Goilala - Full oF Portential.
Goilala, first up is up in the highlands of Central Province. And the climate is temparate. Meaning its cold and cool.
Ideally, this is a climate were fresh nutrious food and vegetables can be grown.. rather is grown.
These vegetables include kaukau, sweet potatoes, ball cabages, chinese cabages, paw paw, pineapple, corns, pumkins, sugarcane, banana, jam, greens, beans of all types and breeds, apples, oranges, watermelons, guawa, kasawa, carrots, onions, spring onions. This is just a few that came to mind, but the list can grow and grow and grow.
Resources wise, we have Gold, TGM is one example and we got Olom, Saki, Kerau, Aigora, Minaru, Mt. Yule, Mt. Albert Edward, Sindo, all coming on board shortly...
We also got potential to grow and raise cattle, sheep, goats, chicken, piggery, fish farms.
We also got the potential for logging and handicraft production if you have tools.
Flying into Goilala by plane is 26 minutes to Woitape, 24 minutes to Ononge, 25 Minutes to Fane, 30 minutes to Tapini, 32 minutes to Sopu, 31 minutes to Kerau, 34 minutes to Guari, 35 minutes to Kamurai, 36 minutes to yongai.
By highway to Tapini, it takes 5 hours, but this timing is increased due to rough and poor road conditions.
Time and again, countless number of times, different people from different fields of expertize has come and gone, proclaiming how huge the potential is.
The media has come in and reported our potential far and wide. TV crew has come in and made productions and published worldwide.
Compared to other districts and provinces nationwide, Goilala stands a huge advange. The reason been that Port Moresby City with its ever increasing population is our main and sole market. Hotels, resaurants, schools, army barracks, hospitals, supermartkets, kai bars, and the small blackmarket sales man and woman. To top is off we have the main wharf right here in Port Moresby which we can export overseas if all goes well.
Having such a potential at the backyard of HAUS TAMBARAN [Waigani Parliment] not even the National Government realizes that. Even the Local MP for Goilala [former and present] does not even know that potential.
MAke is worse, these elected member[s] were once sleeping in this Goilala village, eating this fresh foods, drinking this cool fresh water, forgets all about it once he enters Parliment. Is it because he is too busy to even have a minute spared for his past?
Well if he is then, what is it that is keeping him busy? Because if it was Goilala that was keeping him busy then we would have seen some positive change back home... however sadly, that is not so.
The Central Provincial Government is also not bothered. Not even one of their Agriculture officials from the Provincial government goes up to Goilala on a field trip or such. ALl of them are down here at Konedobu working on god knows what...
Until someone start using his/her head from the top level down, we Goilala's can continue to have that potential with nothing done about it.
Many The Good GOD have mercy on us... one Day.

ReplyDeleteMarken,
ReplyDeleteTHanks for popping around in my part of the world. We have the potential and huge market in Port Moresby, but we lack finances... and the support from higher ups and compounded by the deteriorating infrastructure and the remoteness of our place... this is typically hard, but yes, we will continue to try
