THE Malaita Outer Islands (MOI) Constituency has demonstrated its continued commitment to its communities and people by supporting the upcoming Malaita Second Appointed Day celebrations.
Despite the Malaita Provincial Government already allocating $20,000 each to the three MOI wards, Sikaiana, Pelau, and Luaniua,the MOI Constituency has decided to top up the funding with an additional $20,000 contribution.
This supplementary funding reflects the constituency’s respect for the people of Malaita and the significance of the province’s Second Appointed Day.
Chairman of the Honiara-based Malaita Outer Islands Organizing Committee for the celebration, Mr. Lawrence Makili, highlighted the preparations underway and acknowledged the support received from the MOI Constituency office, Member of Parliament, and respective ward representatives.
The additional support comprises $10,000 from the MOI Constituency office and another $10,000 from the MP, bringing the total support to more that $ 30,000 for each ward.
Mr. Makili publicly expressed gratitude for the monetary assistance, which he said would greatly enhance the celebrations.
He also emphasized the significance of including all three wards, Sikaiana, Pelau, and Luaniua,in this year’s festivities, calling it a landmark moment.
“We sincerely thank and acknowledge the MOI Constituency office, our Member of Parliament, and individuals who have come forward to support these celebrations,” Mr. Makili said.
He extended special appreciation to Mr. Tarzan Holosivi, Hon. Polycarp Paea, Mr. Earnest Tahilua Teutao, and Mr. Billy Holosivi for their personal contributions.
“Great appreciation also goes to the MOI office for supporting our communities in Honiara in celebrating Malaita’s Second Appointed Day,” he added.
