Bougainville is over-governed says businessman

By Aloysius Laukai

A local businessman Henry Onsa has called on the Autonomous Bougainville Government to abolish the position of Commissioners in the Bougainville Administration.

Mr Onsa says Bougainville is over governed and chewing funds that could be spent on development projects.

He told New Dawn FM that the positions of Commissioners were a colonial way of civilising society and that this time had gone.

He said that too much government was making the COE, the best form of government in rural areas, the poorest form of government.

Mr Onsa said, until such time the implementation agency of the government is properly equipped, people in the villages will continue to suffer from non delivery of goods and services.
