Permanent Secretaries and Under Secretaries of the various Government Ministries are currently undergoing a workshop as part of the Public Awareness on the 2nd 2014 Draft Federal Constitution of Solomon Islands.
The Constitutional Reform Unit (CRU) is organising it at Heritage Park Hotel.
CRU, DCC Government’s Fundamental Reform Unit (FRU) and Constitutional Congress, led by the Honiara City team have collaborated to carry out this awareness activity with these government officials.
The awareness program started yesterday – Monday 29th February, with FRU Policy Secretary Warren Paia’s presentation titled “From Unitary to Federalism”.
The turnout from the heads of the Ministries was promising as it shows their commitment to understanding the Federal system being proposed and endorsed by all nine Provinces in Solomon Islands last year.
The weeklong program will also have technical explanations from CRU’s Consultant Lawyer Reginald Teutao on the 2nd 2014 Draft.
This will be the opportunity that the PSs and USs will have to get legal clarifications on the contents of the Draft.
The awareness meeting will end on Friday 4th March 2016.
