THE Guadalcanal Provincial Government (GPG) Standing Committee has finally wrapped up their two days ordinance review, Tuesday.
According to the GP media, the Standing Committee met on Monday and Tuesday to thoroughly go through the five (5) draft ordinances.
These ordinances are expected to be tabled during the upcoming Guadalcanal Provincial Assembly meeting from the 21st to 30th of March 2022.
The five (5) ordinances are; Forest Management Ordinance, Revenue Collection and Management Ordinance, Market Ordinance, Cemetery Ordinance, and Liquor Ordinance.
Apart from the ordinances, the Standing Committee also reviewed the Guadalcanal Provincial Government Staff Instructions Policy.
Standing Committee Chairman, John Stewart, MPA for Duidui Ward revealed that all the ordinances have been reviewed twice since 2020, except for the Liquor Ordinance.
“Four of these ordinances, namely, the Forest Management Ordinance, Revenue Collection and Management Ordinance, Market Ordinance, and Cemetery Ordinance have already gone through two reviews via our committee. So, our two days meeting were much focused on the Liquor Ordinance and the Staff Instructions Policy,” he explained.
Further to that, he said the Standing Committee is content with the drafts and now submitting them to the Speaker’s Office in anticipation of the next Provincial Assembly, which is one week from now.
