Momis wants update on aid

 THE Autonomous Bougainville Government must be consulted concerning any foreign aid going into the region, president Chief Dr John Momis says.

Momis said that at the Autonomous Region of Bougainville’s first development forum in Port Moresby yesterday.

He acknowledged that the Government was ABG’s biggest and most important development partner but it had in most instances overlooked consulting his government when bringing in aid to the region.

Momis said the provisions of the peace agreement outlined this, therefore his government reserved the right to be consulted.

He said the region’s partners continued to provide support and they must be recognised for doing so.
