ARB leader wants policies to remain

A GOVERNMENT minister in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville says government must continue the policies implemented by the O’Neill regime.
Autonomous Bougainville Government minister for local level government, traditional authority and communication Joseph Nopei said he supported what the O’Neill government had started.
Nopei said the policies should not be changed.
“They (Somare regime) have a very short time remaining before the national election so they should just carry on with all that has been established like the implementation of the 2012 national budget,” said Nopei.
He said the O’Neill government had in a short time delivered a lot and had set the foundation for good governance and transparency.
“Also because they are pro-active, they have really worked hard and were not complacent,” he said.
“The good thing about the turn of events is that the O’Neill government still have the numbers to pass any decision in parliament.”
