ABG Member for TOROKINA, STEVEN SUAKO today expressed concern and sympathy for the dead of two Chinese in his constituency.
Member SUAKO said he is concern because ABG was not aware of their business in TOROKINA but he believed they have gone to TOROKINA to buy scrap metals.
He said the incident must be seen as a lesson to foreigners who are so desperate to do business in the Region but do not go through relevant authorities.
MR SUAKO said he was not aware of the travel by the Chinese to his Constituency and was not informed by his people regarding their business activities in the areas.
He added he wants to make it clear to his people and the public that he is not against foreigners being involved in doing business in TOROKINA and Bougainville but they must come through the ABG.
The Member said the villagers from TOROKINA who invited the Chinese must therefore take full responsibility of what has happened.
On behalf of the people of TOROKINA, he conveyed his condolences to the immediate family and relatives of the Chinese who have died in the boat incident.
