Missing trees

Dear Editor – Honiara city has changed landscape. Everyone would agree with me that this happened after most of the trees were cleared off. It’s a sad sight to see some of the old long time standing Christmas tree from Solomon Water/MID to the Mission Place all gone. They were chopped to make way for…

I write to express my strong support for the views expressed by Clement. The ideas and views he expressed should have been considered at the time. Indeed, there is…

Malaita independence

Dear Editor – As one of the tribal leaders in Malaita, I am now getting frustrated with all the political crisis and lack of development progress in our province.

That is quite true, which for many years had been my concern and…

Gov’t for Voters

Dear Editor – Solomon Islanders used to live harmoniously with each other in their small communities in the past. It is a society of hands giving. People usually support each other in almost everything. It was a heaven on earth then. Recently, I made a short visit to a rural setting in one of our…
