The main LLG consists of Aiya (Wabi - Sumi), Kagua Central,Kuare,Erave, and is the home to the Kewabi speakers. It borders Nipa/Lake Kutubu, Ialibu/Pangia, Imbonggu Districts in Southern Highlands. It also shares a provincial border with Western and Gulf provinces. Most basic services such as schools, health services and bridges are less or non existent in remote parts. Politicians have failed to deliver basic services and this results in divisions among tribes. It is the home to the Iagifu and Gobe oil fields but no development.
