The landowners presented their petition on Friday, April 28, 2017.
The petition is a direct response to reports that President Momis is considering supporting the BCL application because he understood it was supported by local landholders.
Chairman of the SMLOLA (Special Mining Lease Osikaiang Landowner Association), Philip Miriori and other representatives met with Momis in March this year following the misleading statements made suggesting BCL had unanimous consent.
