Dear Editor – The Prime Minister Manasseh, Sogavare, last week commended the private sector for their perseverance and hard work in running their businesses.

Dear Editor – Last week saw the new British High Commissioner to the Solomon Islands, His Excellency Chris Trott, make a courtesy call on the Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare.

Dear Editor – The allegation (SStar No.6080) by Director of NTU, who stated“…NTU did not want fake medical clearances. Past students pay various doctors to do their health clearances, which was cheating” is a ridiculous sweeping and incriminating immature statement.

Dear Editor – The issue of Solomon Islands Ports Authority SIPA to me is interesting and warrants proper investigations. A committee should be set up to look into what is happening with SIPA now.
