Was sagt man dazu ??????? Was ist von LD zu halten, kürzlich hat er ja in den Medien eine Attacke gegen A. Sturm geritten? Es geht um sehr viel Geld und im Zweifel lässt er uns über die Klippe springen.....

THE signing of a memorandum of understanding between the Panguna Mine Affected Landowners Association (PMALA) and a Chinese company, Beijing Aerospace Great Wall Mineral Investment Ltd, in Buka last week has not gone down well with many Bougainvilleans.
This signing, which was facilitated by the Central Bougainville MP Jimmy Miringtoro and other key personnel in the landowners group without the Autonomous Bougainville Government’s knowledge has already drawn a lot of criticisms from people.
One of those who had openly expressed his disappointment by criticising this move taken by the landowners is the Minister for Mining in the Autonomous Bougainville Government Michael Oni (pictured). According to a text message sent by the Mining Minister to the PMALA Chairman Lawrence Daveona, Mr Oni said he was very disappointed with the approach taken by the Communications Minister Jimmy Miringtoro.
He said though PMALA had an open door policy for negotiating the Panguna mine, the approach taken by Mr Miringtoro was not accepted.
“Yes, PMALA has an open door policy for negotiating the Panguna mine. But I am very disappointed with the approach the National Minister has hijacked the parties into signing the MoU on Panguna mine without even informing the ABG of the new initiatives PMALA was taking,’’ Mr Oni said.
“This is a clear sign of the Bougainville National MPs disrespect for ABG.
It’s simply a divide and rule tactic.’’ Mr Oni, who is also the ABG member for Ioro constituency in Panguna District, is now calling on Mr Miringtoro (pictured on the right) and PMALA to tell Bougainvilleans their motives, processes and strategies to resolve the Panguna and Bougainville issue.
“Mr Miringtoro and PMALA must come out and explain to the ABG and the 300,000 people in Bougainville their motives, processes and strategies to resolve Panguna and Bougainville issue towards preparing Bougainville for the referendum for independence.”
He said this signing which was “facilitated by the Communications Minister Miringtoro is not for the benefit of PMALA and the people of Bougainville’’.
Former factional commander from the Torokina District of South Bougainville, Albert Magoi has also expressed similar sentiments.
