Mt Kare land report on hold
November 11,2014,
ANDREW ALPHONSE
A SUCCESSFUL National Court order has put an indefinite stop to parties executing the recently launched land investigation report (LIR) of the Mt Kare gold project.
It was obtained last week by Huli landowners of Tari. The Tagali Mt Kare People’s Association (TMKPA), the umbrella association of Huli landowners of Mt Kare project, led by secretary Palipe Aku and others had sought the court order to stop the land investigation study (LIS) and LIR from being effected.
The group joined the Hela Provincial Government led by provincial administrator William Bando to challenge the LIS and LIR findings tabled recently by the developer, Summit Development Limited (SDL), a subsidiary of Australian-based Indochine Mining Limited.
The defendants in the case are Andrian Abby, deputy secretary of customary lands at Lands and Physical Planning Department, Lands and Physical Planning Secretary Romily Kila-Pat, the State, Summit Development Limited, Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) and the Enga government.
In the orders obtained at the Waigani National Court through their lawyer Lakakit and Associate Lawyers, the court ordered that the defendants, its servants, agents or whatsoever are restrained from accepting, registering including gazettal of the LIS and LIR, in relation to the Mt Kare gold project until further orders of the court.
They sought orders that in view of the complicated nature of land identification, parties are directed to have the issue resolved through a mediated court ordered mediation and the terms of the draft are to be settled when the matter returns to court. The matter was adjourned to Monday.
