By New Dawn Media:

THE people of Bougainville must be genuine in supporting and making programs on autonomy work says Senior program officer with the Division of Autonomy Implementation and Monitoring, Kotrifa Naropa.

He said this during a presentation to an awareness team of Bougainville students from the University of PNG last week.

Naropa said this can be done by;
• the establishment of sustainable peace to create the ideal environment where powers and functions drawn down from the national government can be utilized for development process,
• supporting weapons disposal to create an environment for good democratic governance,
• promote education to generate human resource for Bougainville’s future and
• promote a healthy work force.

He urged that the people of Bougainville can realize greater freedom and liberation through the successful draw down of powers and functions from the PNG government to the ABG.
