The Regional forums for South Bougainville which include Siwai and Buin were held in Buin and the Regional Forums for Central Bougainville that is Wakunai and Kieta districts were held last week in Arawa.
The BANA forum was a special session for the people of BANA who were directly affected by the wastes from the Panguna Copper Mine.
The Bana two days BANA forum also ended last week at the BOLEUKO community Hall in the Bolave Constituency.
The final forum will be held in Panguna for EIVO/IORO and PANGUNA districts.
After the final forum in Panguna the team will now prepare a paper from the several forums to the Bougainville Parliament for more deliberations.
According to reports collected by NEW DAWN FM despite the several opinions all stakeholders want the mine to re-open to support the ABG raise funds to deliver much needed services to the people of Bougainville.
