The installation of solar lights along the Miles area in Lae has reached 6-Mile Table Birds in Huon Gulf District. And will continue further up the Miles.

Even though it is the responsibility of the Department of Works and Highways (DOWH) and some areas located outside of Lae District boundary, Lae City Authority (LCA) under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister John Rosso stood in to fund the solar lights project where possible with no boundaries and blame games.

Deputy PM Rosso said in a statement regarding the installation of solar lights:

"Just doing my job to serve my good people of Lae with no boundaries and blame games."

He urged people to look after the services.
"People must look after these developments paid by their taxes."
