Chairman of the Me'ekamui Governmet of Unity on Bougainville, Philip Miroi has stood his ground in publishing a statement that "the ABG enact into law a stand-alone Bougainville Mining Policy that makes a clean break from the past." He has furthermore stressed that the 4th draft May Bill mining policy gives mandate for BCL into Panguna and this is a "dangerous and potentially destabilizing move and is not acceptable to the Me'ekamui."
