Provincial leaders are important

Hundreds of people compete for provincial leadership
Leaders in all sectors of the communities or society are important.

But it seems most Solomon Islanders are only interested in Parliamentarians. There is hardly much talk or support for candidates who contested or are contesting provincial assembly elections. These provincial leaders if are to perform their duties are just as important as members of Parliament. These leaders are the ones more closer to the village people.
It's through these leaders that provincial plans and projects are channeled through to the National Government for inclusion in the National Development Plan.
