Ex-MP criticises LNG locals

A FORMER Southern Highlands MP has described the behaviour of LNG project landowners as “disgusting” and called for landowners to behave while perusing their demands for funds.
Sir Matiabe Yuwi, former Tari MP said the prospect of the LNG project has made every landowner and their followers gone mad and bring disgrace to other decent Southern Highlanders.
“I think the LNG gas project is a poison that is making our people go mad as most of their thoughts are on money alone,” he said.
He said people must not let money control them.
“Most of our once peaceful place has became trouble zone when people dispute over landownership in order to get themselves a few thousand kina,” he said.
