Condolence Message on the Passing of the Late Hon. William Nakin, MP 

 

It is with the deepest sorrow that I have learned of the untimely passing of the Member for North Bougainville, Hon. William Nakin, MP today.

As President of Bougainville I am yet again saddened that we have lost another Bougainvillean leader in the National Parliament and in Bougainville as a whole.

His passing comes at a very crucial time in Papua New Guinea and Bougainville as the whole nation concentrates on the 2022 National General Elections and electing our leaders into the National Parliament.

Before entering politics in 2017 the Late Hon. William Nakin was a businessman and faithful elder of the Catholic Church in Bougainville. He was also a very staunch supporter and associate of our revolutionary leader the Late Francis Ona under his Mekamui regime.

As the Member for North Bougainville the Late Hon. William Nakin was guided by his business acumen to deliver services effectively to the people of North Bougainville.

In the last five years he contributed immensely to infrastructure development throughout North Bougainville. He prioritized primary healthcare and education as the core of his development programs under his District Service Improvement Program funds.

On behalf of the government and people of Bougainville I offer our deepest sincerest condolences to the people of North Bougainville and the family of the Late Hon. William Nakin.

We give thanks for his life of service to Bougainville.

 

May His Soul Rest In Peace.

Hon. Ishmael Toroama, MHR

President
