Bodo’s inflexible policy

Dear Editor – I am writing this letter to you in response to not only the issue facing Evita Solomon Ltd but also in relation to the Sunday front page news featuring Minister of Forests Bodo Dettke again on his stance to clean up logging companies not operating legally or under proper license. The issue…

Child trafficking

Dear Editor – The media coverage on this issue recently should not take us by surprise. The officials from Save the Children and the MWYCA must have been living in another planet to have not noticed this. While these two might look at this issue from a different angle, I must say that this is…

‘Thank you PM Sogavare’

Dear Editor – I refer to the ‘View Point’ article by Mr.Sasako with the above heading about himself, in Star Issue No.5949 on Friday, 14/08/’15. The article showed the typical arrogance of the man Sasako is. In brief, Mr.Sasako was trying to impress how valuable he is to be sought after by none other than…

APID issue

Dear Editor – May I ask Mr Alfred Sasako to stop using his pen to bark over APID issues as his fundraising drive to make ends meet. His recent explanation of his termination does not convince enough for the public, rather raised more questions over his credibility as a senior citizen striving for the good…

Miner’s attempt exposed

Dear Editor – Please allow me space in your prestigious newspaper to straighten up a little bit the issues at Renbel Province. Friday’s article captioned as “Miner’s attempt exposed” has mentioned some relationship between Mugava and Solomon Mining with World Link Resources Ltd. We wish to clarify and inform the public specially the good people…

Modernising Honiara

Dear Editor – I wish to join all Solomon Islanders who have embraced the Mayor’s announcement that the properties in the stretch of land between hot-bread and NPF head-offices will be demolished and improved. Well done Mayor and your team. This is a wonderful announcement and like Jackson Ray, I want to extend to you…

$2000 bribe exposed

Dear Editor – THE exposure by Magistrate Jimmy Hanahunu of the alleged $2,000 bribe by Jefter Tuhagenga that appeared in the front page of the Solomon Star issue No.5942 of Thursday 6 August, 2015 is in no way convincing that Hanahunu and his sister adviser Esther Lellapitu are honest and ethical as the article implied…

Matchbox or better?

Dear Editor – I applaud the Honiara City Council’s vision to improve the image of Honiara by demolishing the first stretch of buildings along the Pt. Cruz shoreline. Without the benefit of details, I feel compelled to express some reservation. My biggest concern is what will become of buildings that are historically significant.  For example,…

Change the name of CDF

Dear Editor – I call for CDF to be changed and be called MP’s discretion fund. The reason is obvious when MP’s, CDO’s, chairpersons and those who voted for the winning candidates do not allow other constituency citizens to access the fund. The list for projects under CDF omits all other citizens of the constituency.…
