The decision to reopen the Panguna Mine rests solely with Panguna Landowners.
ABG President, John Momis says it has always been wrongly perceived that the ABG has the sole power to reopen the mine.
He said this during an address to the ABG House of Representatives at their first parliament session yesterday.
Momis says the ABG has established a framework to assist with negotiations.
“The Office of the Panguna Negotiations is an entity set up by the ABG to enhance the achievements of its broad objectives in regards to the mine,” Momis says.
The Office of Panguna Negotiations has been set up within legal boundaries as required by the Bougainville Constitution and does not stand to marginalize anybody.
Since its establishment it has developed several important policy submissions and information papers for the consideration of the ABG.
It has also been instrumental in securing the K5 million per year support grants for the next five years for negotiations from the ABG.
It is also responsible for facilitating the Bel Kol between Landowners and Bougainville Copper Limited which the ABG has approved for May 12 this year.
Momis says done widespread mining consultative forums which have garnered the opinions of Bougainvilleans on the issue of reopening the mine.
“From these forums there has been wide support of the ABG’s initiative to negotiate an understandable settlement,” Dr Momis said.
Some of the major challenges facing the Panguna Negotiations are the ever changing positions of key mine affected Landowners who backtrack after wholeheartedly supporting the ABG during the forums.
But Momis says the ABG and the majority cannot be held to ransom by a minority who must soon make up their minds.
“While Panguna is still the ABG’s focus, it is one of the options available to the government.”
