Still waiting....and hoping
The PM's waiting game
Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare says receiving the designate Australian High Commissioner to Solomon Islands, Peter Hooton, is an important matter that he reviews daily.
In an interview the national broadcaster, SIBC, Mr Sogavare says he had no problem with any Australian individuals assigned to head the mission in Honiara. Mr Sogavare reiterates these individuals are faithful public servants loyal to their government and what they say is the position of their government. He says the problem is certain positions taken by Canberra.
But the Prime Minister says one day he will receive Mr Hotton. He says as soon as he sorts out a few things with the officials in his office those in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. he will be ready for the Australian diplomat.
MyBlog says
Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare is keeping everybody waiting about when to mend Solomon Islands relations with Australia.
MyBlog believes Mr Sogavare's latest interview with the national broadcaster did reveal much. People as individuals view it the ways they see it. They will have described Mr Sogavare with various words. To his supporters the Prime Minister is a hero, bold, strong willed, standing for the country's sovereignty. His critics have probably came up with these words: indecisive, arrogant, mad and crazy.
For neutral onlookers, they would like the relation is mended as quickly as possible, so things would flow as before. Just a question, does a person with a neutral view on any topic exist at all?
Ministry for Women
The government has established a new Ministry to promote women, youth and children’s affairs.
The government set up the new ministry according to its plan in addressing national development. Chief of Staff in the Prime Minister’s Office, Dr Judson Leafasia says the Government since taking office had seen the need to address the unique and specific problems of women and youth in the society.
He says the announcement of the new Ministry on International Women's Day Thursday was both timely and appropriate. Dr Leafasia says the Minister for the new Ministry would be announced soon. Women's affairs previously came under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
MyBlog says
MyBlog salutes the government in its action in setting up the Ministry for Women.
MyBlog believes it's time both the government and others in society review how they have treated women. If they have treated women well, then "Thumbs Up to Them". Continue to champion their cause. For those who have ignored, or looked down on women, it's high time they change and let them be partners in development.
Men are nothing without women, and vice versa.
Premier wants more jobs created
Malaita Premier Richard Na’amo Irosaea says his government is aware of claims that some employers have discriminate against Malaitans.
The Premier says this is one of the reasons why his government is working on plans to encourage more development on Malaita to provide employment to the growing population of the province. Mr Irosaea says his government will be cooperating with government and non-government bodies and donor partners to creation more jobs in in the province.
The Premier says while leaders of Malaita are aware of certain employers refusing to employ Malaita people, he adds that employers have the right to hire any person they want. Mr Irosaea says some people do not employ Malaitans because in the past some from Malaita did not respect their employers. The says this is why he is appealing to Malaitans that when someone offers you a job, you respect that person and the job and give all you can towards your work.
MyBlog comments
MyBlog could not agree more with the Premier.
MyBlog agrees that nothing is same anymore after the recent years of social upheaval in the country. While it had became one of the saddest and cruel event in the country's history, it could be a blessing in disguise. It could have been the wake up call for all Solomon Islanders to take stock of and forge a better future.
Solomon Islanders from all walks of life must learn from that painful experience. Leaders, do the right thing by listening to the voice of the people and Solomon Islanders must cooperation to make the country a better place to live.
Happy surfing in cyberspace.
