Security Firms Kuima and Asila Clashed over Contract Awards

Kuima Security Company caused damages to the Domestic terminal and an NAC vehicle this morning following the loss of the NAC Airport Security Contract to another local Security Company Asila. No passengers were harmed. International and Corporate terminals are not affected.

There are reports the Kuima security guards have gone into the Domestic Aiport landing pads. 

NEC staff have taken cover, but glasses and properties were destroyed. 

It is understood that Kuima Security had been contracted by the NAC to provide security at the Jacksons Airport. However, the contract was given to another security firm in Port Moresby, Asila Security. 

The award of the security contract is a management decision. A decision reached on grounds that the NAC sees fit to replace one security company for another - Kuima for Asila. 

Kuima could have resorted to Courts to resolve the matter. This incident, now, brings the reputation of this security firm into question.

But, there are many questions about the nature of the change.

• Why has NAC replaced Kuima Security, and preferred Asila Security?
• Has NAC got substance to back its decisions to replace Kuima Security? 

Of course, there should be some understanding if there are incompetencies on the part of the former security provider. 

 If such change is the management decision, it should not compromise the NAC as an organisation. There should NOT be any form of bias.

Given that the issue has spilled out onto the street, and affected members of the public, NAC has to come clear on its decision. 

Why terminate Kuima Security's services and get a new company in?
