Atoi gives car to cops

BOUGAINVILLE police at Kunua district, North Bougainville, have received a 10-seater vehicle from North Bougainville MP Lauta Atoi.
Atoi said the work of supporting local law and order agencies did not lie with any one person but with everyone.
He said without law and order, “development would not take place in the region”.
He urged all agencies and politicians to work together to attract investors to the region and to ensure that government services flowed efficiently to the people.
“We can talk about all the other things but without law and order, all our talk will be a waste.
“Yes, we cannot accommodate everything but we must try by working together.
“It is all about the people, it is not about our self. Leadership is about making changes for our people,” he said.
The recently purchased police vehicle worth close to K200,000 adds to the three ambulances, two high school trucks and more than five sawmills given to the people of North Bougainville since Atoi took office last June.
“I am doing the best I can. With only six months to work in, I have made some progress.
“People should not judge me too quickly,” Atoi said responding to those who criticised his leadership.
