The former combatants presented a petition to the ABG President, DR. CHIEF DR. JOHN MOMIS who promised to look into their grievances addressed in their petition. PRESIDENT MOMIS told the protestors that the appointment was made by an Independent Committee as per the Bougainville Constitution. He said that the Bougainville Constitution says that the Appointments must be made by a Independent Committee that includes a representative of the Churches and in this case the Bishop of United Church TIM AUTHER, Womens rep, MRS HONA HOLAN,LAWYERS REP, HUBERT KIKIRA, JOHN KALI from the Department of Personal Management and President Momis as the Chairman. Chief Momis said that if we continue to disturb the process that we have established then there is no use of setting up the mechanism to move Bougainville forward. DR. MOMIS said the former Acting Chief Secretary is a big asset for the ABG and will be given a new post within the Administration. Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Police, ACP PAUL KAMUAI this afternoon thanked the former combatants for presenting their petition quietly and receiving their answer from their leaders. He said this was a sign that our people were matured and can present their grievance peacefully. Ends
