Su’u denies receiving money from DCGA Leaders
MALAITA influential and hardline leader from Kwara’ae, Moses Su’u has outrightly denied claims and speculations that he was paid by the Sogavare led government to remain silent as fractions of Malaitans continue to blame Sogavare for not living up to his promises.
While the ongoing threats to remove the democratically elected Prime Minister, Manasseh Sogavare continues to hit the media waves, it was speculated that Moses Su’u was one of the main targets by Sogavare.
Government critics believed that the reconciliation between Su’u and Sogavare in the PM’s sanctuary with the PM’s right-hand leaders cannot be gone unnoticed by the public.
Deputy Prime Minister, Manasseh Maelanga, East Guadalcanal MP, Bradley Tovosia and Caucus Chairman, Namson Tran were all present at the reconciliation, Monday this week.
“This raised more questions than answers.
“We believe something is going on between Sogavare and Moses Su’u with his small team up at the Gilbert Camp.
“As someone who follows Su’u in the past up until now, I know Su’u always disliked the Sogavare regime and also stand for what Malaita believes,” a close follower of Su’u told the Solomon Star yesterday.
But when the Solomon Star attended a meeting held by Su’u and his members at Gilbert Camp yesterday afternoon he confidently told this paper that this are not true.
“I never receive any money from Sogavare and his government, I never ask for money.
“This reconciliation between me and Sogavare is nothing about money.
“We must understand that this country has been brought to its knees in the past by some of us because of frustration towards our government. Learning from the past, I see it fit to publically apologise to the government as a leader in my community and to work with the government.
“Peace cannot be bought by money but true peace comes from the heart,” Su’u told this paper.
He further added that as a leader at the community level, he believed that we must work with the government for the betterment of our future.
“Let’s forget about the past and move on. There might be disagreements of dissatisfaction between us and any government of the day but I also believe that using force will not help anymore.
“Dialogue with the government is the only way now,” Su’u said.
