BOUGAINVILLE COULD BE THE GUIDING STAR FOR PNG SAYS KALI By Aloysius Laukai
The Secretary for the Department of Personal Management, JOHN KALI said that Bougainville could be leading PAPUA NEW GUINEA into the future with the Autonomy Arrangement being developed in Bougainville. He made these remarks at a farewell function to farewell the National Government delegation in Buka last night. MR. KALI said that if the Autonomy arrangement currently operating on Bougainville becomes successful, other Provinces in Papua New Guinea can also be upgraded to the Autonomy level in which they can operate their own public service that can be closer to the people. He said this can be a good model that can further strengthen Papua New Guinea instead of what some critics are saying Autonomy will destroy the country. MR. KALI said that bottom up approach which the leaders of Bougainville have been preaching about through the many agreements of the past could be the way forward for PAPUA NEW GUINEA. He said that he was happy to have worked with the Bougainville leaders since the early 2000, first on the Bougainville Peace Agreement and at the different levels he was involved representing the Government of Papua New Guinea since. The Bougainville Public Service officially began working under the Bougainville Public Service today May 15th, 2014. And most offices did not operate as expected due to the celebrations that went into the early hours of this morning.
