In this episode, we take a closer look at the key points shared by the Prime Minister of Solomon Islands, who is also the Chair of the 54th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting.

He also touched on health and education concerns, and the importance of regional collaboration through organizations like the Pacific Community (SPC).

Opposition Leader Matthew Wale has blasted the GNUT government’s handling of sufferance wharves, calling its decision “erratic” and a sign of weak leadership.

He said the reshuffle and rapid reversal of policy raise serious questions about external influence and transparency.

Former Finance Minister Harry Kuma raised the alarm that sufferance wharves in Honiara were illegal, environmentally non-compliant, and a security risk to international trade.

In a memo to Customs, Kuma said the wharves lacked proper approvals, violated the Environment Act, and failed international ISPS standards.

Days later, he was abruptly removed, and his suspension order on the wharves was overturned by his successor.
