Dear Editor – It was very satisfying to read in your newspaper yesterday, 26 August, that several people with disabilities from communities all around Honiara will participate in a sports ‘Fun Day’ at the Maranatha Hall. What was all the more pleasing was the report that the event was to raise awareness and for the…
Dear Editor – An article in the Letters to the Editor column that seems to be not of the mainstream kind, made it to your column last week on Monday (17/08/15).

Dear Editor – Please remind all honest and hardworking people of this nation again, what was Charles Dausabea awarded for, announced at the last independence? Was it for dedication to sport or something else during his time at NOCSI as president? What a mockery of our national award. Why make our award system a laughing…

Dear Editor – As the most affected constituency of Choiseul province, I’ve seen that the $100,000 allocation fund for disaster is unfair. South Choiseul constituency was badly affected by the cyclone last two months ago that caused damage to residential houses, clinics, food gardens, plantations and water supplies.

Dear Editor – I thank chief John Toki for raising the above in an article on your recent paper. What he said is the ideal society that we have been living in since time immemorial and what we wish it would be like for the next, as he puts it, 100 years. Our ancestors knew…

Dear Editor – I’m writing on behalf of those resource owners who have been ripped off by those so called logging activities going on from 2008 to 2013, which was been revealed by the outgoing Minister of Forestry, Hon. Bodo Dettke. Those logging activities occurred on our land with no full agreement by us resource…
