Kiriwina Exploited<br />
customary practices.<br />
Extensive networks<br />
complimented by a<br />
diversity <strong>of</strong> resource base<br />
and support both nationally<br />

people’s ignorance with<br />
the lure <strong>of</strong> goods & cash.<br />
Exploited customary<br />
practices.<br />
After 2-3 weeks <strong>of</strong> covert<br />
campaigning, candidate<br />
