By Aloysius Laukai

The Bougainville Executive Council yesterday approved priority tasks that the ABG under CHIEF JOHN MOMIS intends to undertake in the next ONE HUNDRED DAYS.
The tasks approved under the umbrella of good governance highlighted the council’s desire for a unified and economical Bougainville.
The tasks included continuous awareness on weapons disposal, awareness on the Bougainville constitution, awareness on ABG’s policies and consultation meetings with faction and community leaders.
On the economic aspect the MOMIS government plans to establish an “economic recovery plan” for Bougainville.
The plan would include among others, the continuous Panguna Mine Consultations with the relevant stake holders with the view of re-opening the mine, consultations with landowners of the Manetai Limestone mine and Bougainville Fishing Venture.
Existing plans on Economic Development would also be revisited in the process.
President Chief Momis also said that his government would encourage the involvement of credible foreign investors on joint venture partnership with Bougainvilleans.
To achieve these goals, the Bougainville Executive Council has agreed to appoint a permanent chief administrator to drive the implementation of these tasks within the next one hundred days.
MR. MOMIS said that candidates for the chief Administrator’s position will be selected in consultation with the National Government after an independent Human Resources Organization assesses the applicants.
Meanwhile a revised budget is now being done to accommodate the tasks within the next one hundred days.
