Landowners from Afio on Small Malaita have blocked a road upgrading work in the area over land issue.
A paramount chief of Abunimali tribe John Iro said the road upgrade was halted because they want the land dispute to be resolved first.
He said the dispute is currently before the courts.
“I call on the national government and the contractor to stop any upgrading work until the dispute is sorted out.”
