Local member wants to see south on the move

BY ALOYSIUS LAUKAI

The member for South Bougainville, Stephen Pirika, wants his region to move forward and become economically powerful.

He said there is no reason the suth should remain stagnant whilst the rest of Bougainville moves forward.

Mr Pirika made these comments after visiting projects and proposed project sites in South Bougainville with South Korean investors.

They included the border post location at Kangu, the proposed South Bougainville Sports Stadium at Buin, Buin Vocational School, Buin Secondary School, Katukuh Health Centre, feeder roads and proposed short cut roads.

Mr Pirika also met with landowners of the proposed university centre at Haisi in the Siwai area.

He said he wants to see the four districts of Torokina, Buin, Bana and Siwai show some tangible development.
