MP urged not to resign, continue engaging with landowners
CONSERVATION, Climate Change and Environment Minister Wera Mori has been urged to continue engaging with the Wafi-Golpu stakeholders even if they reject the deep sea tailing placement (DSTP) method.
Peter Seske, who is attached with the Wafi-Golpu Mine Area Landowner Association, was responding to a threat by Mori to resign if the landowners rejected the DTSP method. “I encourage him not to resign but to support our proposal on the on-land dry-cake tailing storage facility.
“The Minister will create history in writing a new chapter in on-land dry cake tailing storage facility,” he said.
“We believe that the Prime Minister (James Marape) and Morobe Governor (Ginson Saonu) will agree because they want to get the project off the ground.”
He said the construction phase of the project could go ahead with the on-land dry cake tailings storage facility.
“We believe in the dry-cake tailings storage and will meet with Cepa (Conservation and Environment Protection Authority) next week (to explain) this method.”
,” he said.

Think he’s already tired – lets listen to his own wishes and let him go. He hasn’t been the smartest and consistently performing member with a portfolio.. the environment is very dear to us and if the minister can make bad decisions that will have adversely negative implications on the lives of thousands of our people then he should go. What’s one man’s bad decision compared to a thousand lives that will be impacted (for generations). We hear your wishes – tend in your resignation.
