Ambunti-Drekirkir MP Tony Aimo has applauded the decision made by the Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare and the Forest Minister Beldem Namah for approving the April Salome Carbon Sequestration project in his electorate in the East Sepik Province.

Mr Aimo who is also the Correctional Service Minister expressed his gratitude to Sir Michael and Mr Namah when writing to  the Office of Climate Change and Environment Sustainability (OCC&ES) Executive Director Dr Theo Yasause in a letter dated May 14 2009 to facilitate complete documentation for the registration of the project.

As the duly elected MP I hereby confirm my support for the landowners to work with Earth Sky Limited to develop the project in the Hunstein Range. This project will generate much needed services through this eco- forest project in my remote and disadvantage district.”

My people have full support for the project and request that you (Dr Yasause) facilitate complete documentation for registering the project and its mandated Incorporated Landowner Groups (ILG) processes and sanctioned. All funding for the carbon sequestration project will go towards projects which have all been documented.

 As Chairman of the Joint District Planning & Budget Priority Committee (JDP&BPC) I have much pleasure in presenting you these duly approved impact project documents at our last JDP&BPC meeting 01/2009 on 07 May 2009 for your information and records.
