Dear Editor – It is annoying for someone like Makili to condemn land reform experts trying their best to lend us their highly knowledgeable insights during the recent two days land reform summit. In his actual words, Makili asserted, “those experts don’t know anything about customary land.”. The question is, who is this Makili, anyway?…
Dear Editor – I wish to question why a visit the prime minister has promised to make to Burns Creek community five months ago has not taken place. At the beginning of the year the prime minister sent senior officers from his office to inform Burns Creek leaders of the prime minister’s intended visit. The…

Dear Editor – While it is such an excellent idea to award Public Service HRM for excellent performance, the criteria of this selection process still remain indistinct, which raises serious questions of the integrity of the award. The “Excellence” terminology has a strong and significant meaning thus the recipients must deserve the award in the…
Dear Editor – On Sunday morning I received a call from Auki that four men were bashing up a lone man with a baseball bat in front of the Auki Police station. To my surprise no police officer even tried to stop the fight let alone a woman who saw the fight from the road…

Firstly, to be frank, the property…

In a press release from the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet it was announced that the Solomon’s government had revoked…

You can hardly see them performed in our national celebrations and in other important events that took place in or around our communities. The vast coastal area of north Guadalcanal which stretches from Mataniko, Point Cruz in…
