Some Clarity on PM visit to Panguna-Morgan Resolutions
The PM’s visit comes at a very critical time. While many of us have speculated and given so many different perspectives both positive and negative, it must be clear that he is still the political head of the nation which we all are part of. The Good Will visit covered the entire autonomous region and ended in Panguna. Now at Panguna a few resolutions (Morgan Resolutions) were made by very key ex-combatant leaders before the PM actually entered Panguna. They are:
1. PM’s safety to Panguna was guaranteed at 110% (take into account the respect and accolade the ex-com gave the PM), so they added 10% more guarantee over his safety-this resolution was achieved
2. That it would be a honour for the ex-com and the Bougainville community that the PM travelled by road as his safety was guaranteed. The PM was so honoured and accepted, he travelled back by the Panguna road through to Arawa under the escort of very highly skilled security team. The first ever PM in the country to do that since the conflict-this resolution was also achieved
3. The third resolution is the one that got everyone confused. The media even projected it negatively putting Bougainvilleans up against each other. This was the resolution that involved K50m. It wasn’t a demand, even though it was projected as such. This K50m was raised by the 3 key ex-com leaders during the Morgan meeting a day before the PM visit to Panguna. This very same meeting formulated the “Morgan Resolutions”, you can all see that the K50m wasn’t a demand. However, in the spirit of peace and reconciliation, it seemed to this 3 key leaders, the PM, who is the leader of the country plus his delegates was now entering for the first time a place that has been the cause of B’ville’s fate. Importantly, bloods were shed and everything was lost for the people of B’ville. He (PM) would just be walking in as if nothing happened. So the K50m was raised as DOMANGMINTA (Nasioi’s bel kol kastom). Make no mistake, the PM knew this and his team did Domangminta at a small scale before entering Panguna. The leaders knew the PM was a Melanesian and he would understand, which the PM actually did, that was why the trip to Panguna wasn’t cancelled. This issue wasn’t even the Meekamui only but this K50m came from all the ex-combatants in unity. In the light of this, the K50m would have been used across the Bougainville region. The ex-coms knew what they were doing. And they asked this in a Melanesian tradition. What they visioned for the K50m were projects, schools, infrastructure developments such as roads, airport, post-office upgrade in Arawa etc. At the end of the day, the story remains, there were deaths, bloods sheds and lives lost, it wasn’t cheap for Bougainvilleans to simply let in the PM to Panguna without raising a stakeholder and reminding the PM that there are issues that directly link to the Bougainville Conflict that are still at large. They first thought the K50m should be put through the current Peace Development Program but there were other big stakeholders such as Aus-AID / UN there so they are thinking that this from the PM should put be aside, alone and be pumped into peace and development projects. But the greatest achievement of this resolution is that the road map to the National Reconciliations have now been clearly opened. Let’s all work together to reconcile with all our brothers and sisters in the national level. According to the info I got from the ground, so far there has been nothing negative to the PMs visit. It has been embraced the key leaders and all are looking forward to addressing B’ville issues and reconciliation issues at the national level. SMART thinking. This resolution is now with the PM’s department for further developments.
