Wendy‐Myriam Himford

The President of the Christain Democratic Party and 2012 General Election candidate  for Port‐Vila Constituency, Wendy‐Myriam Himford, has condemned Vanuatu’s membership to World Trade Organization (WTO) by the Kilman‐led coalition government and 'disguised parliamentary opposition' led by the Vanuaaku Pati (VP) :   

“WTO is a legalized bid on Vanuatu’s gold resources  onshore and  offshore.  For instance, the current Kuth Energy geothermal energy project on Efate  island where capital Port‐Vila is located is  likely  to  be  a  conspiracy  of  a  legalized  and  organized  fraud  to  extract  and  rip  off  epithermal  gold  under  the  Takara  hot  springs  without  regulation, without control and without payment of  any  royalties  or  profit  sharing  to  the  government  of  Vanuatu, Shefa province and customs owners.”
