15.11.2012 Investor breaches deal
By WINTERFORD TOREAS
THE Autonomous Bougainville Government may have erred in its decision to invite a wholesale company from China to come and start up their business in Bougainville.
The above revelation was made by the ABG Minister for Trade and Industry, Wilfred Komba while delivering his speech during the launching of a new vessel, the MV Kute Trader in Buka last Friday.
Mr Komba said the ABG had initially invited Chinese investors to come and establish their business, whether wholesaling or manufacturing, on Bougainville.
One of the conditions outlined by the ABG was that these companies should concentrate on selling their products at wholesale prices, while the retail businesses would be reserved for Bougainvilleans. However, instead of honouring the condition outlined by the ABG, the Chinese company concerned has been selling their products on retail bases.
It is also understood that this company was supposed to have leased out its shares to Bougainvilleans so they too can become shareholders in the company, which also did not eventuate. The ABG Division of Commerce, Trade and Industry is currently going through a restructure process to change these original shareholding arrangements.
Meanwhile, the announcement by Mr Komba has drawn support from many Bougainvilleans.
Many said they have been confused because instead of this company operating as a wholesale supplier, it was operating as a retail business company. |
