Momis in epic return to Panguna
By GORETHY KENNETH
BOUGAINVILLE’S president John Momis will now go back to Panguna 21 years after his abduction in 1990 by the Bougainville Revolutionary Army.
President Momis’ visit to Panguna will be historical as he has never stepped on Panguna soil since his abduction by the late Francis Ona’s commandos from Tinputz in the mid 1990s.
He was taken hostage to Guava and kept there in captivity before being released some months later. The story of Mr Momis becoming a Prisoner of War (PoW) in Guava village is such that a reconciliation is still pending.
He was kept a prisoner for almost six months in Panguna by the late Ona and his men. One of Bougainville’s instrumental leaders (named) was handed a gun to kill Momis but he let him escape after several pleas by Mr Momis.
Mr Momis was a priest at that time and to date his “legs” have never set foot in Panguna (Read story in the Weekend Courier).
Mr Momis also, had never visited Panguna even when he was the Regional Member for Bougainville in the National Parliament. He is now going back there early next month to see his people and to further negotiations for the development of Bougainville, because that is where the heart of the Panguna Mine lies.
The Bougainville administration is now in preparation to facilitate his visit to Panguna tentatively before the JSB meeting in Buka.
The JSB will be held on December 5.
The people of central Bougainville specifically Panguna and Guava have invited Mr Momis to visit the place and address his people in that part of the world.
The Panguna management consultative committee meeting held recently in Buka was briefed of the planned visit by the president.
“This is a long overdue matter that must take place as soon as practically possible,” the meeting was told.
“At this meeting an official invitation was extended to President Momis and he accepted and preparations will now begin by PMCC stakeholders in consultations with ABG Administration officials to make this event a reality.”
On the same note, Bougainville Copper Limited chief executive Paul Coleman is now being invited officially by the PMCC and specifically the people of Panguna to visit the area where the giant mine pit lies idle. Mr Coleman’s visit will happen after Momis’ official trip. Mr Coleman already visited Panguna but that was on an invitation by those who were involved in the Panguna Scrap Metal operations, which BCL has been facilitating.

Momis lauds PM O’Neill
BOUGAINVILLE president John Momis last week thanked PNG Prime Minister Peter O’Neill for his decision not to approve the renewal of the Special Mining Lease (SML) held by Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL) in Panguna for the last 42 years.
He said that through the Peace Agreement and through the Constitutional arrangements and the Strategic Framework on the Drawdown of Mining Powers and Functions, the PNG government would not exercise mining powers and functions on Bougainville.
This he said meant that the National Government would not exercise powers in relation to any mining related issues including powers and functions that relate to the BCA and the re-negotiation of this agreement.
“While my Government has undertaken considerable work in consultation with landowners and the National Government in preparation of the BCA re-negotiation, I am happy to hear of reports that the Prime Minister has agreed not to renew the Special Mining Lease held by BCL, but to consult with the ABG on issues concerning mining matters on Bougainville,” he said.
Mr Momis added that the ABG and the Panguna Management Consultative Committee had agreed to re-negotiate the Bougainville Copper Agreement (BCA) with BCL, the National Government and any other interested developer. “The ABG has established a steering group to undertake preparatory programmes in relation to the re-negotiation of the BCA,” he said.
