Member for Kopii constituency in the ABG Philip Kuhena in his presentation to an ABG meeting told the government to rid of all guns before the voting for referendum comes about.
“We need people to vote freely without intimidation and doubts, first we need to clean this place up so when we vote there will be nothing to fear,” Mr Kuhena said.
“Weapons still threaten the peace we’re enjoying and it will remain an obstacle unless we do something about it.”
Mr Kuhena said it will be complicated because guns have become a part of the Bougainvie culture.
