More than 100 men, women and children have been issued verbal notices to move out of their government flats in a Madang where they have been living, some for as long as 26 years. 

The flats are reported to have been sold by the National Housing Corporation by the Papindo group of companies. The tenants have been told that the Papindo bought the units for 2 Million kina. 

But The National Housing Corporation Branch in Madang says it has no records of the transaction. 

Papua New Guinea's National Housing Corporation has been plagued with issues of corruption and illegal property sales for the last 10 years. 

The tenants are seeking legal help to resolve the matter.
