CHINA GIFTS TABLE TENNIS TABLE | The National Sports Council is the proud recipient of a table tennis table donated by the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China. China is the undisputed champion of table tennis winning numerous medals at the Olympic Games and world championships in table tennis. In fact, table tennis is probably the national sport of China involving millions of people as players and spectators showing a deep and long lasting passion for the sport. Mr Charlie Song, representing the Chinese Embassy, said: “We are delighted to contribute a table to the NSC to promote the practice of table tennis in Honiara. China has supported the development of table tennis for many years around the world and now we are able to support this in Honiara. We look forward to seeing the people using the table for fitness and for enjoyment.” Mr Joe Sika, Chair of the NSC, said: “I would like to thank the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China for this kind donation. Table tennis is an inclusive sport played by young and old, men and women, people with and without disabilities. It is an easy sport to play and understand and it brings people together. I look forward to inviting our friends from China to the first matches to be played on this table in early 2026”.

AUDITOR GENERAL PURSUES NHA COURT CASE | The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) is seeking a court ruling to clarify the legal basis for the National Hosting Authority’s (NHA) spending and procurement during the 2023 Pacific Games. This move was discussed in a recent meeting with Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele, NHA Chairman Sir Dr Jimmie Rodgers, and the OAG team, including auditors from KPMG Fiji. Auditor General David Dennis explained that obtaining legal clarification is important to complete both the financial and special audits and ensure the reports provide clear findings. The OAG has engaged independent legal counsel, Gabriel Suri, because the current Attorney General is a board member of the NHA. Prime Minister Manele and NHA Chairman Rodgers welcomed the decision, noting that the audits are closely watched by the public and Parliament. The audits are part of the OAG’s constitutional role to review the public accounts of all government ministries, offices, authorities, and provincial governments, ensuring transparency and accountability. The audit reports are expected to provide lessons from hosting major events and strengthen accountability in future government projects.
