PM Once Again in Madang

It is now the 85th day of the current court injunction by the Raicoast Landowners which is preventing the Ramu Nickel Mine from dumping into the Astrolabe Bay. Because of this court case, the government has been trying desperately to talk to landowners in dropping the court case. The people still remain firm in their position, they simply don't want dumping waste into the sea. Because of this strong resistance from the landowners, the Prime Minister has been making secret trips into the province lately. He is now back in Madang today and is meeting with landowners from Mindire where the Ramu Nickel Mine established its refinery plant. We hope the landowners remain firm in their stand.
One has to be suspicious especially when the PM's frequent trips to Madang this year have mostly been done secretly. Don't be surprise if there is another project coming up in Madang which the landowners don't know of.
