Bulolo people adamant


RIGGO NANGAN

THE Bulolo Stretim Sindaun committee and the locals are steadfast in their stance that the Sepik settlers have to go, The National reports.
“If they wasn’t to take out a court order to prevent their repatriation, they should go else first,” Garaina leader Raoai Meki, said yesterday.
The Sepiks are seeking a court order to prevent their repatriation.
“They cannot stay in Bulolo and go to court,” he said on behalf of leaders from Buang, Mumeng, and Watut.
The locals also wanted the repatriation exercise to materialise soon because the situation is still tense.
They said that the situation could flare up again, considering that “a local youth was fortunate to miss a dart fired by a couple of Sepik youths” yesterday.
They said police quickly took control of the situation.
Meki said the incident is an example of the on-going situations in Bulolo at the moment.
Meanwhile, stretim sindaun committee chairman, Jack Isaac, and his committee have called on all “papa kar” (public motor vehicle (PMV) owners) from Bulolo district to be ready in case they are called on to provide their truck for the repatriation exercise.
