Bougainville’s House of Representatives Speaker, Simon Pentanu, has publicly disputed assertions made by the Papua New Guinea National Parliament regarding a sessional order related to the Bougainville referendum. Pentanu stated that critical aspects of the order were never mutually agreed upon. He further clarified that formal discussions between the Speakers of both parliaments remained unresolved. His statement followed a ministerial address in the PNG National Parliament earlier in the week concerning the same sessional order. Pentanu’s response aims to correct what he views as inaccuracies presented to the national parliament. The details of the disputed sessional order were not specified in the statement.
