THE National Government may hold its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Bougainville come September, Bougainville Affairs Minister Steven Pirika Kama has announced in
Buka yesterday.
And in September, during the National Government Supplementary Budget, it will also be the time when ABG should receive its K15 million Development Grant from the
Government.
Further, the Joint Supervisory Body (JSB) meeting, the avenue for the National Government and ABG to discuss Bougainville forward, may also be held in September in Buka but
after the Supplementary Budget.
Mr Kama said this at the Buka airport on arrival from Port Moresby.
He said the first JSB was held in Port Moresby and the next one should be held in Buka later this year.
JSB is the meeting where all the government departments relating to Bougainville issues and the ABG meet to discuss and iron out specific issues of development and the
drawdown of powers for Bougainville. The meeting is normally chaired by the ABG president and the PNG Government Prime Minister.
