ISENZO: IMIBHIKISHO YEZIMINI YASE-PNG NOKUNGCOLAZISA
ISIKHATHI: ULwesibili zi-2 Disemba, 2014 ngo-12:00 ntambama
INDAWO: I-Sydney Hilton Hotel, 488 George St, Sydney, Australia
SYDNEY | Ingqungquthela ye-13 ye-PNG Mining and Petroleum Investment Conference e-Sydney's Hilton Hotel kusukela ngomhla ka-1 kuya ku-3rd kaDisemba ithola ingcindezi evela kubameli bamalungelo abantu kanye nemvelo mayelana nokuqhubeka nokutshalwa kwezimali ezimayini ePapua New Guinea ebicekela phansi imiphakathi kanye nemvelo kusukela ngo-1972. .

UDan Jones, ummeli wezifundo zaseMelanesia uthe, “Kusuka eBougainville kuya e-Ok Tedi, kuya ePurgera naseRamu Nickel eMadang, imboni yezokukhiqiza iyaqhubeka nokunqamula amakhona ukuze kwandiswe inzuzo edala umonakalo omkhulu kwezemvelo kanye nezinxushunxushu emphakathini eziqhubeka nokubhebhethekisa izibhelu emphakathini, ukucekelana phansi kwenhlalo nokucwasana. izingxabano ezinkulu.”

Usongo lwakamuva ku-PNG imboni entsha yezimayini ezijulile zolwandle. Ilayisensi yokuqala emhlabeni yokusebenzisa imayini ejulile yolwandle inikezwe inkampani yaseCanada iNautilus Minerals ePapua New Guinea. UNautilus ukhuluma engqungqutheleni yemboni ye-PNG eSydney.

U-Natalie Lowrey, Ibamba Lomxhumanisi, umkhankaso we-Deep Sea Mining uthe, "I-Nautilus Environmental Impact Assessment (EIS) inephutha elijulile[1], futhi Umgomo Wokuqaphela[2] noma Imvume Yangaphambili Nenolwazi[3] ayizange ilandelwe naphezu kokukhula. ukuphikiswa ePapua New Guinea[4]. Lokhu kuphinde kwenqabele imiphakathi yase-PNG engakasithathi isinqumo esinolwazi mayelana nokuthi iyafuna yini ukuba izingulube zemboni entsha.”

IBank of South Pacific (BSP), engumxhasi nomethuli engqungqutheleni, ivumele uhlelo lweNautilus ukuthi luqhubekele phambili ngemuva kokuma kwawo. I-BSP, ezithatha njengebhange 'eliluhlaza kakhulu' e-Pacific inikeze imali ebolekiwe engu-$120 wezigidi (2% yenani lempahla ye-BSP) ku-PNG ngenani elingu-15%. Lezo zimali kulindeleke ukuthi zikhishwe kwaNautilus kwi-akhawunti ye-escrow ngomhlaka-11 kuZibandlela.

"Umkhankaso we-Deep Sea Mining uthumele incwadi ehlangene ne-NGO esekelwe e-PNG i-Bismarck Ramu Group ku-BSP ibuza ukuthi ngabe sebelucubungulile yini ubungozi ngokubolekwa kwabo kuhulumeni we-PNG ovumela le phrojekthi ukuthi ithuthuke - kuze kube manje akukho mpendulo kubo.”

"Le ncwadi izolethwa ngesandla engqungqutheleni inxusa i-BSP ukuthi ibhekisise ubungozi begama layo ethi iyibhange eliluhlaza kunawo wonke ePacific futhi ihoxise imali ebolekiwe kungakephuzi kakhulu."

UJones uqhube wathi, “Iningi labantu basePapua New Guinea abaliboni izinzuzo ezithenjiswa ukuthuthukiswa kwezimayini, uwoyela negesi, nokho ukutshalwa kwezimali kuyaqhubeka nokugeleza ngesivinini esikhulu kumaphrojekthi naphezu kwezinkinga ezinkulu abasaqhubeka nokuzibangela emiphakathini yezolimo ehlukahlukene ngokwesiko encike ekuhlanzekeni. izindawo nemigwaqo yamanzi ukuze siphile.”

“Abantu basePapua New Guinea bafuna ukwesekwa ngemizamo yabo, njengokwengeza inani ezimbonini ezikhona zikakhokho nezikakhukhunathi. Kunesidingo esikhulayo sezimakethe ezithunyelwa ngaphandle kwezempilo ezisebenzisa ukhukhunathi omsulwa nokhokho eminyakeni yamuva nje imboni i-PNG ehlulekayo ukungena kuyo. "

“Ukuthuthukiswa kwabantu basePapua New Guinea kungaphezulu kakhulu kwenkomo yemali ezuzisa abatshalizimali bakwamanye amazwe nezikhulu zakuleli. Intuthuko yangempela ihlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwamasiko okuhlanganisa amasiko okugcinwa kwemvelo, izibopho kanye nokuxhumana okungokomoya nomhlaba nolwandle.”
