Toroama in a statement stated that the appointment is unconstitutional and violates the Bougainville Peace Agreement, referring to Section 26 of the Organic Law on Peace Building on Bougainville and Section 237 of the Bougainville Peace Agreement.
These provisions, as highlighted by the President, clearly state that the Bougainville Police Commander should be appointed in consultation with the Bougainville Government.
Tsiamalili Jnr said he acknowledges and respects the provisions mentioned by ABG President Ishmael Toroama.
