Health and Governance
May was a very sad month for Solomon Islands in the political sphere.
On the first of the month, MP for East Malaita, Joses Wawari Sanga died after collapsing from heart failure in his home in Honiara. The government accorded the former Public Service Minister with a state funeral.
Twenty-four days later, on the 25th another MP for Aoke/Langalanga also from Malaita, Bartholomew Ulufa'alu passed away. The late Ulufa'alu had been ill for sometimes, compounded by a diabetic situation in which one of his legs had been amputated. The former MP was the second to be accorded a state funeral this year.
Health and Candidacy
Several sitting MPs also have diabetic conditions and MyBlog is sure they are observing medical advice as they battle the disease.
The situation has raised the question of whether laws should be put in place to disqualify those medically not fit to contest the Parliament and Provincial Assembly elections.
MyBlog believes that candidates contesting those elections should be healthy enough to assist in the governing of the people. An able person would be in a better position to perform the tasks required of them to serve the people and nation.
Oh, it is okay for an ill or disabled person to hold on to a leadership position? Or should that person give resign and give way for anothers to take-over that important role?
