Momis 100-day report wanted
Bougainvilleans have openly asked for the Autonomous Bougainville Government President John Momis and his cabinet to spell out what they had done in their last 100 days.
The concerned Bougainvilleans, in a letter to the editor, demanded the ABG present its report on the last 100 days in office as they claim during the inauguration of the second ABG House at Kubu, which Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare and all other foreign dignitaries were present, witnessed and heard the president make a rundown of his list of things to do in his 100 days in office.
Mr Momis, in June this year, detailed his priority tasks for the next 100 days and promised to appoint a permanent chief administrator within these days to fully implement these tasks.
A chief administrator was appointed, but controversy surrounded the process in which he was appointed. BEC approved these priority tasks in June and announced a revised Budget was now being done to accommodate the tasks within the 100 days.
The tasks included awareness on weapons disposal, awareness on the peace agreement, awareness on the Bougainville Constitution, awareness on ABG’s policies and consultation meetings with faction leaders and community leaders.
On the economic aspect the Momis Government planned to establish an economic recovery plan for Bougainville.
The plan was to include among others, the continuous Panguna mine consultations with the relevant stakeholders with the view of re-opening the mine, consultations with landowners on the Manetai lime stone and a Bougainville Fishing venture.
President’s office advised they would respond later this week to the concerns raised by the concerned Bougainvilleans. |
