Port Moresby governor seeks answers for city's ranking

From Pacific Waves

The governor of Port Moresby has sought answers from the Economist Intelligence Unit after it ranked the city poorly in an index of international cities

Papua New Guinea's capital was placed 138th out of 140 cities in the research and analysis unit's Global Liveability report 2021.

Moresby's Governor Powes Parkop has described the ranking as overly harsh, pushing for a review.

Johnny Blades reports caught up with both sides.
