MAJOR PROJECTS ON MALAITA A DISAPPOINTMENT

The Opposition Group in a statement today said it had been three years, yet there are no concrete information regarding the progress of major projects in Malaita province.

THE Parliamentary Opposition Group urged the Government to inform the nation on the current status of the major projects in Malaita Province.

“The Opposition believes the Government particularly the Office of the Prime Minister & Cabinet (OPMC) have a responsibility to explain to our citizens especially the people of Malaita on the current status of these projects,” it said.

The Opposition said the projects in Malaita highlighted are: 

  • ·         Auluta Palm Oil Project
  • ·         Waisisi Palm Oil Project
  • ·         Bina Harbor Industrial Township Project
  • ·         Suava Tuna Canning Project
  • ·         Wairokai International sea port
  • ·         Auki Road Project
  • ·         Rehabilitation for North Road, East and South Roads
  • ·         Bridge replacements for North, East and South Malaita
  • ·    Hauhui-Wairaha Road in South Malaita and access roads to Bina, Suava, Kadabina and Afio
  • ·         5 wharves for identified locations in Malaita
  • ·         Busurata-Okwala Road rehabilitation
  • ·         Three (3) South Malaita Bridge extensions
The Parliamentary Opposition Group said those are some of the projects which the Government assured the nation that it was on the priority list and ready to roll out according to a Government statement issued back in 18th August 2015. 

“It is only right that the Government update us on the progress and status of each project,” it said.

The Opposition Group said the government lack the political will; prioritization and commitment and have proved all these promises as a major disappointment.
