Dear Editor – On December 29th, 2021, while Solomon Islands people were counting down to the arrival of the New Year, a chartered flight landed in Henderson Airport Honiara, carrying first cargo of anti-riot gears aided by China. I had the honour to accompany senior Solomon Islands government officials at the airport to witness the…
Dear Editor – thank you for allowing me share my personal thoughts here about certain bus conductors and their behaviours towards passengers. I think our bus drivers and conductors need basic customer service training. Last week, I saw someone who was about to punch a bus conductor because of something the conductor said to him…
Dear Editor – the closure of flights due to Covid-19 is not a good move. Covid virus is not going to go near soon. This virus should be considered like any other viruses (eg. Flue virus) for which we have no treatment. We just have to learn to live with it. We have already destroyed world…
Dear Editor – I take this opportunity to respond to the Monday 10th January article on Rennell & Bellona Province financial management issues, described as ‘’Audit Report Revealed’’. The article detailed audit findings on Renbel covering 2012 – 2016. Whilst the figures mentioned in the article are facts, I disagree with the conclusion that nothing…

I read Mr. McNeil’s response to an article you wrote on him ‘Is McNeil on his way out’ with great interest but sadly I didn’t have the chance to take a glimpse of this article. Sure, he is quite efficient in his work by keeping that scope of duties and responsibilities in check but I…
Generally, people that apply for jobs submit their Curriculum Vitae and other related information, especially copies of certificates of achievements at college or university to their employers. Robson Djokovic Curriculum Vitae again came into the limelight after claims that he has graduated with Bachelor’s Degrees (Credit) from the Queensland University of Technology, during the years…
Dear Editor – I totally agree with the complete flight ban, to ensure travellers don’t bring in the virus. Our medical facilities and resources are inadequate and it will definitely be incapable of handling community transmissions. It is just a matter of time for community transmissions if we are not careful. Ruth Nuboa Honiara
