In accepting the ambulance and water tanks, Mr. Ketsimur said he would now be working in partnership with Mr. Ogio and urged the people of the area to do the same.

He said only through a collaborative effort the people of Tinputz can develop and bring the area back to its former glory days as the region’s highest cocoa producing area.

Turning to the youth and young generation, Mr. Ketsimur appealed to them to refrain from what they are doing and work together with their leaders and village elders.

Mr. Ketsimur said Tinputz is known as the most trouble sport area of Bougainville and appealed for a change in this regard.

The people of Tinputz would have to raise above all these in order the invite economic activity into the area.

Mr. Kestimur’s statement was supported by the Sister In Charge of the Teauroki Health Centre who appealed to support politicians who delivered something to them and not false prophets
