The Triumph Heritage Empowerment party leader, Don Polye, said evicting settlers would be a thing of the past if T.H.E is leading the government after next month's election.
He said the recent evictions of squatters in Lae, Port Moresby and other centers have been done to suit foreign business interests.
Mr Polye was promising to put an end to indigenous citizens being evicted from settlements, or called settlers, at a place they call a home away from home.
Mr Polye said the settlements would be mapped out into lots and sections, with basic services like sewerage, water and electricity supplied, so these people can enjoy their lives as others do.
