“I highly appreciate your support in positively responding to my call for voluntary clean up of our City. Honiara is our home. We live and work in Honiara so we must keep it clean.
“Despite of what happened in the past days, I am indeed grateful that hundreds of residents took part in the clean up. There are so many of you so that I cannot mention names.”
“However, I give my big thank you to church leaders, community leaders, women leaders, youth leaders, government agencies, private sector companies and NGOs who mobilized your members to come out in numbers for the voluntary clean up. Tagio Tumas oketa wantoks.”
