‘Farewell meeting’ for Kabui
Saturday, June 14th, 200813/6/08
Jospeh Kabui made peace with the rest of Papua New Guinea in a moving ceremony in Manus Province early last week. At what has now become the last official conference for the former President of the Autonomous Bougain-ville Government, Mr Kabui officially made peace with PNG in a moving ceremony at the National Governors Council conference in Manus, three days before his death. According to reports from the Manus conference, Mr Kabui’s attendance at the National Governors Conference was the first since Bougainville was granted autonomous status in 2001. “His government was created under a different and unique set of legislations and he was never a member of the National Governors Council,” an insider told the Post-Courier. “However, that changed when he made peace with Sir Julius Chan last month.”
