On front page Post Courier today, the Prime Minister is saying: the Ramu Nickel Mine is a must to go ahead. If it does not goes ahead of gets further delayed it will be detrimental to the investment opportunities in the country. He also goes on to say that the government will lose money and also the project is in the best interest of the country.
Did the Prime Minister consult the people that will be affected by this mine in Madang before he signed the agreement with the government of China to bring in the developer? Did he also explained to the people of Raicoast who are currently opposing dumping of waste into their waters before he signed that agreement or did he think he is the Prime Minister and the people will agree with him?
If there are going to be negative consequences that the government and the country is going to face then let it be. The people of Raicoast, Ramu River and also along the Pipeline will not sacrifice their environment and their lives for the Prime Minister and the Government’s mistake. The Prime Minister was the one that signed the agreement, let him lose face in the eyes of the international community, who cases. What is money compared to the environment and the lives of the people?
