ABG names new vice-president
THE Autonomous Bougainville Government has a new vice-president.
He is Member for Mahari constituency John Tabinaman who replaces former vice-president Joseph Watawi who was sacked over the Amun scandal.
ABG President Joseph Kabui made the announcement during a media conference last Friday at the House of Representative.
Mr Kabui said the decision to remove Mr Watawi was made after his government received a lot of pressure from the people of Bougainville.
He said it was “a painful decision to make” as he had worked closely with Mr Watawi in the peace-building process.
Mr Kabui said “he had the greatest respect for his work”.
The ABG chief said his government had always been under the scrutiny of the people and action had to be taken over the Amun incident in which Mr Watawi and several others were allegedly drinking alcohol while the burial ceremony for administrator Peter Tsiamalili was taking place, a taboo under the Bougainvillean customs and tradition.
Mr Kabui said Mr Watawi had breached section 6 (Leadership Code) of the Bougainville Constitution which deals about loyalty to Bougainville.
He said he was empowered under Section 96 (2) of the constitution to remove Mr Watawi.
Mr Kabui said the newly-appointed vice-president would handle the ministerial portfolio of Planing and Monitoring, Reconciliation and Peace and Autonomy.
He said Mr Watawi has been reassigned to a newly-created ministerial portfolio of Public Service, Trade and Industry and Micro Finance.
Mr Kabui described Mr Tabinaman “as a man of integrity with high level of administrative and management experience”.
But some people were still questioning the decision to keep Mr Watawi in cabinet by creating a new position for him.
They felt Mr Watawi should remain only as an ordinary member of the house.
