280611KONNOU UPDATE
By Aloysius Laukai
The Minister for Community Development Churches, Youth, Sports and women, ROSE PIHEI says that the fighting in Konnou is not crisis related.
She made these remarks when updating Ex combatants at yesterday’s meeting at Tsiroge.
MRS. PIHEI who comes from the Konnou area herself said that the youths involved are to be rehabilitated, Retrained and Educated as most of them never went to School.
She said the government must be proactive and know what is happening in the Konnou Constituency.
She said that when the government is in the dark this is not good.
She said that Bougainville Police must be allowed to move in and contain the situation.
There were many groups sent to Konnou but none of them have reported to the government and the government has no knowledge of the real cause and this is bad for the government.
If a Konnou man gave a report now, can ABG believe that when it has no previous knowledge of what is happening on the ground.
AND this has been going on since 1989 said MRS PIHEI.
