The Prime Minister also urged the public to remain calm while political leaders work to address the current situation.
The Prime Minister emphasised that Solomon Islands’ Constitution provides clear democratic processes for addressing political developments, and these processes will be respected as Members of Parliament continue their discussions.
“For now, the priority is for the public service to continue its important work while political leaders engage to resolve the issues before us. It is too early to speculate on any outcome, and we will continue to keep the public informed as developments unfold,” Prime Minister Manele said.
