Dennis Kuiai, acting secretary of the Department of Bougainville Peace Agreement and Implementation (DBPAI), said during a recent media conference in Buka that more former combatants have joined the community peace efforts – a positive move towards the conduct of the crucial Referendum set for 2019.
“Former combatants just like any other Bougainvilleans have the moral obligation to get rid of their weapons,” he said.
Kuiai stated it was important for a free and fair election come June 15th, 2019.
