MP wants Panguna mine re-opened
Bougainville Affairs MP Fidelis Semoso has met with Panguna landowners (PLA) and others from other Bougainville copper lease areas in Port Moresby. He reiterated his call to see an impact project get off the ground for Bougainville, a project that will “create employment for our youth, rebuild our schools and health services but most importantly boost the economy of the region”. He made it clear that he wanted the Panguna mine re-opened at the earliest opportunity. This means that he wants to see the Bougain-ville Copper Agreement (BCA) review fast tracked. He said he is committed to assisting the Panguna landowners get themselves organised. He has directed Lawrence Daveona to arrange for landowner representatives from each of the six mine lease areas to come to Buka for two days of consultation with him to tell him what they want. He told the landowners present at the meeting that he does not want to waste time, saying that Panguna landowners’ issues had been there before the crisis and are still there and no one has really attended to them. With the BCA review, Panguna landowners are the major stake holders. He maintained that the problem is not the Bougainville people but “us the elected leaders of Bougainville”, both the ABG and the National Government. Mr Semososaid during his travels throughout the island he has found out that the general feeling is that the Panguna mine must be re-opened and that there is no other way for Bougainville to move forward. He challenged the landowners to give him tangible project submissions to push through the Government system for funding. The landowners in turn assured him that he will be getting project submissions soon. |
