The way forward for MK and Koiari

THERE is a need for Motu-Koita and Koiari to have a good road map to move forward.
After this general election, the community together with their lea­ders must come up with their own list of what they see as the most cri­tical issues affecting them.
It is also important for the Motu-Koitabu As­sem­bly (MKA) and the NCDC administration to work together with the national government to improve the lives of the  people.
I call on the autho­ri­ties to critically ad­dress the ongoing plight of the Motu-Koita and Koiari communities in these key areas:
l    Review the Motu-Koita Act and make the Motu-Koita Assembly more effective;
l    The national government must in the next five years create a strong political structure;
l    The MKA, NCDC administration and the Central provincial government should urge the national government to place an immediate mo­ratorium on all NCD land sales; and
l    A special capital city “development pac­kage” to be negotiated with the national government.
