LIHIR landowner company Anitua Limited is not welcomed on Bougainville, according to a former BRA defence secretary.
This is because Anitua belongs to Lihirians, and they do not allow any other Papua New Guineans to do business on Lihir and likewise they are not welcomed on Bougainville, said the former BRA leader who requested anonymity.
He said Bougainvilleans employ-ed as operators in the company are only paid K5 an hour which is unfair. He said the company has not met most of its promised benefits to Bougainvilleans they have employed.
“If Anitua does not allow other people to run business in Lihir, why ask for business in other places like Bougainville,” he said.
“We Bougainvilleans and our other brothers from other parts of PNG who have been neglected to do business in Lihir are not slaves for companies like Anitua.
“Who are you to neglect and reject us from doing business in Lihir and then to bid to come do business on Bougainville? I think this is total abuse of rights, racist and greedy at the same time.”

ReplyDeleteI think the Western Highlanders are doing the same thing there like the Lihir people. The irony of this is that non of us Asians here! There should not be any in house fighting as long as we are Papuan New Guineans.
