In his supplementary question in Parliament today, Jiwaka Governor, Dr William Tongamp, asked the Minister for Environment, Conservation & Climate Change, Wera Mori, on the point of origin of the Ramu NiCo slurry spill.
Dr Tongamp said there should have been a containment pond to prevent toxic tailings from getting discharged into the environment.
“From reports we are getting, in the past there were a couple of spillages of similar magnitude but they were not reported properly,” Dr Tongamp said.
