2007 emerges slowly

A New Year Lull
The Christmas and New Year festival season still lingers.

Whilst many Solomon Islands workers should be back at their post, some are still in their home islands. Yes, there is transport difficulties in the remote places such as Temotu and Rennell-Bellona Provinces. This gives them the excuse to spend a few more days in their beloved islands.

The government and the private sector are certainly at work. But things are slowly revving up to the normal cruising speed. This may happen by the middle of this month.

Budget
The Government had been hard at work his taking office last April. It is consolidating all its efforts now to finalise the 2007 Budget. This should hopefully be tabled in the first meeting of Parliament sometimes towards the end of this month or early next month. The government's much talked about "bottom-up-approach" development or the village focus development is the catch word of the budget.

The government has kept the package under wrap and nothing of this so-called golden present to the people has been revealed. Yes, the people are eagerly waiting for it.

Provincial Governance
Following several provincial elections last month, several provinces are yet to choose their Premiers and provincial executives.

The process has been set to move again tomorrow.

Temotu Province
The 17 newly elected members of the Temotu provincial assembly will choose a new speaker to the assembly tomorrow.

Nomination for the speakers position opened this morning and closed in the afternoon. Three candidates have been nominated to contest the speaker's election tomorrow. They are Ataban Tropa, Gabriel Teao and Jonas Melatua. The election of a provincial premier will take place on Monday next week. Nomination of candidates to contest the premiers position opens tomorrow morning and close Saturday. All provincial assembly members took their oath of allegiance today.

Malaita Province
Minister for Provincial Government Japhet Waipora has replaces two officials involved in the previous Malaita Provincial Election.

Returning Office Harold Leka has been replaced by Houma and the election Coordinator within the Ministry Sam Faluaburu is replaced by Jacob Nuia. He says preparation for the January 15 election for wards 6 to 30 in Malaita Province is progressing well and he hopes nothing will affect the election date. Election for wards 6 to 30 in Malaita Province did not eventuate on December 18 because of difficulties in distributing ballot boxes and other necessities to hold the election.

Myblog will catch up with you tomorrow.
