THE FATE of a no-confidence motion tabled against Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare lies with a High Court ruling expected this morning. The motion, to be moved by Opposition leader Jeremiah Manele, is scheduled for today’s parliament sitting. But the Government, through its political party membership, is challenging in court the Speaker of Parliament’s decision to…
Dear Editor – Allow me space in your paper to pen down my point of view of the political crisis, with last week’s mass resignation of government ministers. Bodo Dettke and Douglas Ete after convincing the other ministers to resign from the government thought that they would overthrow the Sogavare led government and form a…
Dear Editor – Thank you for space provided for me to share to help our Rennell Bellona provincial assembly members to work together in planning and implementing policy for good of the people of the province. Reading the above headline Saturday 17.10.15 no. 6003 is another political game to out the current premier from the…
Dear Editor – Please spare me space in your column to contribute to the debate on the current political saga created by ‘grasshoppers’, to use the term your papers have been branding our disgruntled members of parliament. First, I do not take comfort in blaming the Political Parties Integrity Act 2014 for its shortfalls in preventing…

Dear Editor – If the numbers joining the government is increasing, it could mean that the MPs behind the Mbike Island Resort incident when the current DCC government was formed after the last general elections, must be intending to join the government in order to make further investigations into the case difficult. The country must…
Dear Editor – Could you pleased place my point of view in your letters to the editors column on the current political issues in our country. It’s very interesting to see our national leaders fighting for their own interest, not our national interest. Now we can see the DCCG and Opposition group are playing very…
Dear Editor – The above subject intrigues me. It reminds me of a similar situation back in the mid-nineties when the then SIAC government under the leadership of the late prime ministers Bartholomew Ulufa’lu was also facing a looming “no confidence motion” to be tabled in parliament by the then MP for South Guadalcanal Victor…
Dear Editor – After Second World War on Guadalcanal this chain of scattered islands was declared British Solomon Islands protectorate. Perhaps we were indeed fortunate from being colonised. In my simple understanding, colonized is just simply like one of the streets in London developed and looked after. Solomon Islands history reminds us that traders and…
