BOUGAINVILLE has no tender board which has resulted in contractors awarded contracts for development projects facing problems.
This is also because there is a breakdown in communication from those in authority in the region and it should be restored.
According to chairman of the Bougainville Restoration and Development Authority Sam Tulo earlier on this month when interviewed by Radio Bougainville, there is no tender board in the Autonomous Region.
Mr Tulo said he read in the newspaper earlier the Central Tenders Board in Papua New Guinea had made it clear that there was non existent of the tenders board in the region.
“The tender board should be legally established so that companies or contractors can bid in tenders,” he said.
Mr Tulo said he did not know what procedures had been used to award contracts of the development projects (road) in the region of Bougainville.
A tender board should be established legally to avoid contracts getting into trouble.
If there was a tender board, then it would screen the contractors who bid in the tenders.
Mr Tulo said “we have to be very careful and if contracts are in trouble now then the law only can settle it’’.
Meanwhile, an example of having no tender board in the region to proper screen contractors is the result of public raising complaints about the condition of the Karola to Gagan road on the west coast of Buka.
This has led, allegedly to a man dying on the way to Gagan health centre while being carried on a bamboo stretcher earlier this month.
People there are questioning those responsible in maintaining their road.
