Jiwaka Province in Papua New Guinea has initiated a gun amnesty program aimed at reducing the number of illegal firearms in circulation. The national government has pledged to provide funding for the buyback scheme, incentivizing residents to voluntarily surrender their weapons. Individuals who participate in the amnesty will be financially rewarded for turning in illegal firearms. This initiative seeks to improve public safety and security within the province by removing unauthorized weapons. Details regarding the specific financial compensation and surrender process are yet to be released. The program represents a proactive step towards addressing gun violence and maintaining law and order in Jiwaka. It is hoped the amnesty will encourage widespread participation and contribute to a safer community.
