300810 SEMOSO ON TUNG CHURCH
By Aloysius Laukai

Regional member for Bougainville and Minister for Bougainville Affairs, FIDELIS SEMOSO yesterday blasted the people of Tung to forget their differences work together to build their new United Church building.

MR. SEMOSO said that the west coast area have more educated and well paid people who cannot even unite to raise funds for their church building.

He said if the people of Malasang village can organize and build their church for SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND KINA he could not see why the people of Tung can not do the same.

The Minister said that he contributed SIX THOUSAND KINA only as the member whilst the rest was raised by the people themselves.

The member was at Tung village to present assistance to the community of Tung, Matjungan and Petats islands.

He presented FIVE THOUSAND for the TUNG Church Building, FIVE THOUSAND KINA for the Petats Aid Post and another Five Thousand Kina for the Matsungan Church.

He explained he was trying to assist the churches on Bougainville with some funding support but he called on them to try to develop their own capacity instead of looking at the members always.
