“It’s not about service delivery, it’s about making money for Bougainville and its people. “Bougainville is a maritime province and we have to take advantage of that. “Let’s work to have reliable shipping services, when copper mine gets up and running again, let’s have our own ships export or take copper across international waters. We must have a shipping network overseas. “I want to tell my people I am their servant leader, no longer a private person and my biggest desire is that I want to help my people. Yes, this government is about service delivery. “It should also be about building the nation, building the economy and coming from a business background, I want to see Bougainville create opportunities. We need to create a fiscal self-reliant nation so that we can have our independence. “Time is running out, we can’t pretend that everything is okay. We have a lot of factions to deal with...let’s sit down and find a solution to this issue. "

NEWLY--ELECTED North Bougainville MP, Lauta Atoi, is a very determined man when it comes to helping develop Bougainville, especially his northern electorate, if finance and resources permit. Yesterday, before the declaration, the Post-Courier interviewed him in his home, surrounded by thousands of his supporters, Atoi, a former Kumul icon, detailed his priorities for the next six months. “I have a heart for my people of the Atolls and low-lying islands and especially those of Teua/Kunua who have been neglected for many years,” Mr Atoi said. “I have plans for all the electorates of north Bougainville before looking at the bigger picture. “There are places that are less developed and there are those that really need help – it’s about service delivery but my approach will be all about income generating activities. “I have the water project and I want to spend K5 million on water tanks for all north Bougainvilleans, which is the main need for the people in the north. “I want to work together with the ABG to revive all feeder ports in the region and help save plantations that will help generate our income so that we become financially self-reliant instead of asking and begging and receiving all the time. Also I want to help get back the eight plantations that have been sold to foreigners. “But most of all, get a landing craft and a proper service boat for the people of the Atolls and the low-lying islanders and a fish market to help the islanders market their fresh fish for a living. “I want to help the government of the day change their mindset. “It’s not about service delivery, it’s about making money for Bougainville and its people. “Bougainville is a maritime province and we have to take advantage of that. “Let’s work to have reliable shipping services, when copper mine gets up and running again, let’s have our own ships export or take copper across international waters.

We have a lot of factions to deal with...let’s sit down and find a solution to this issue. “I know ABG has been working hard to work on these factions, I am prepared to work with the ABG to see how best we can find solutions to these issues,” Mr Atoi said

By STEPHANIE ELIZAH THE people of North Bougainville have elected their new national member of parliament. He is Lauta Atoi, a businessman of mixed Mortlock and Tasman parentage. Atoi, with 10,463 votes, won by 5,301 beating only female candidate Rachael Opeti Konaka, who completed the contest on 5,162 votes. He now occupies the North Bougainville open seat left vacant by former member and Governor-General Sir Michael Ogio. Bougainville Electoral Commissioner and North Bougainville by-election returning officer Reitama Taravaru, in thanking the Papua New Guinea and Bougainville electoral commission officers, police and the candidates and their supporters, said, generally, the election was peaceful and carried out with respect. “Having being satisfied with the process on our part, that the by-election was fair and transparent, I have taken into account all the votes cast and I declare our new member-elect Lauta Atoi,” Taravaru officially declared in Buka yesterday. Atoi, in accepting his new role, thanked everyone for their support and acknowledged members of the New Bougainville Party and churches in Buka for their prayers and assistance. To all his voters and campaign team, he urged they stay focused on their primary reason for contesting the by-election. “This win is just the beginning of our journey. Let us stay focused on the immediate needs of our people,” he said. “We need to complete all incomplete projects of our former member like delivery of water tanks and assisting our people in the West Coast atolls. “Let us concentrate on putting all monies into these immediate projects; 2012 can take care of itself. “Our medium- and long-term plan is to boost economic growth in our region,” he said. “There is no time to celebrate, we have six months to take care of our people. I stand with confidence, yes, I can lead, it is time for a change.” He invited the candidates who lost and their supporters to work closely with him. “I have seen your platforms during the campaign period. “You have very good ideas which we can together work on and move Bougainville forward,” Atoi said ----------- BOC - Auf dem Weg zum MULTIBAGGER, die ersten 500% sind schon erreicht ;-)))))))))))) |
