Rai Coast MP Kessy Sawang is pressing the Papua New Guinean government for a new agreement regarding the expansion of the Ramu Nickel project. She asserts that landowners have faced over two decades of broken promises related to the mine. Sawang is advocating for a completely fresh framework to ensure the protection of landowner interests during this significant expansion. The MP believes a new deal is crucial to address past failures and secure a more equitable outcome for those impacted by the project. The current situation stems from unfulfilled commitments made by the state over the past 22 years. Details of the demand were published in the Post Courier, but require a subscription to access the full report.
