UN doesn’t have answers to all our problems

By Aloysius Laukai

The ABG Member for Halia and Works Minister, Patrick Nisira, says that the United Nations does not have the answers to all Bougainville’s law and order problems.

Mr Nisira told the ABG House of Representatives that the answer to Bougainville’s problems lies entirely with the people of Bougainville.

He said that the UN does not have ready made solutions for Bougainville.

Mr Nisira made these remarks in supporting comments made by the ABG President Hon James Tanis that he was not ready to throw in the towel and call for the UN to return to Bougainville to address increasing law and order problems in the region.

They were responding to calls by the Member for Lule, Joseph Kinani, who wanted to know if the ABG had plans to get the UN to return to Bougainville.

Mr Tanis said that through the newly created Peace, Reconciliations and Weapons Ministry he hoped to address a lot of issues on Bougainville including law and order problems.

Mr Tanis later told a press conference that he wants to use the newly created Ministry to quickly get down to work.

The first Weapons Destruction was done last month at Poramato village near Panguna.

Mr Tanis is in Port Moresby this week to attend a meeting with donor partners who are supporting the Bougainville peace process.
