RIMBUNAN HIJAU DENIES ALLEGATION FROM LOCAL NGO

The Rimbunan Hijau Group welcomes any police investigations into this allegation made by PNG Eco-Forestry a non government organization which does not support any form of development in Papua New Guinea to uplift the ordinary life of Papua New Guineans even though all process of acquisition and requirement are met by the companies. Rimbunan Hijau vehemently denies any imputations that it condones any such baseless allegations. The majority of the land owners support the Palm Oil projects and the recent attempts by this few disgruntled land owners attempt with assistance from NGOs whom do not support any form of development, to derail and stop this very important project was refused by the National Court recently. The Royal Constabulary is very independent and high integrity institution of the state of Papua New Guinea and we welcome the comments of Acting Police Commissioner Tom Kulunga. We regret this constant unverified adverse media release by non – government organization in hell bent generating adverse publicity in order to keep their anti government campaign alive for domestic and international donors is very much regretted and it is not helpful for a country that is seeking to develop its resources sustainably which is much needed. - ENDS- www.rhpng.com.pg
