Concerning the members of parliament entitlement,in particular the issue of terminal grant for the MPs wives, i want to join with other Solomon Islanders who expressed their incongruity on the move taken by the PEC. However, as you stated that from unconfirmed rumours the propose entitlement will be annulled. If this is so, i concur with you that this is victory for the people and the pressure that the MPs have faced through the media to re-think their decision. However, i wonder if the pressure by the MPs to reconsider the terminal grant for their wives is a political move since they know that such allowance if given to their wives is costly for them in next year's general elections. What do others think???Kulznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482934973064429445.post-2113186794786370152009-07-24T20:41:23.872+12:002009-07-24T20:41:23.872+12:00our leaders should be introduced to this site...th...our leaders should be introduced to this site...they probably have nooooo idea what the people think of them...I mean a little bit...I am not a very "politics" person, but I have my disagreements on the way in which our country is being led...but my little comment would be on the concluding part of your writing-I too have lost confidence in the leaders..

Any way i tend to beleive that the current decision made by the politician was grossly irrational/irresponsible. Even more worse Fono DPM has been so vocal about a bill on immunity to MP's relative to their action either corrupt/criminal they are immune during their term as MP.This is another crazy bill. however, the SIPEU is planning a nation wide strike if this bill goes through.

Congratulations to you for being creative to...Deh,<br /><br />Congratulations to you for being creative to come up with another site to keep those of us who knew little about politics back home, especially what is exactly happening within the parliament such as their functions, committee's, who is doing what and not etc. I fully support your move for us concerned citizens to rise up against self serving attitude (corruption) of our leaders at the expense of the taxpayers. After reading Beliga's article, I came to reliaise why most people wants to enter politics in the Solomon Islands, as thats the only place where we can become millionaires overnight with the lucrative entitlements. As another national general election is forthcoming, politicians will by all means try to do whatever they wish to retain status quo knowing very well that what they are doing does not serve well the citizens of the country. By all means,as many scholars have said, media is powerful and through media change can happen, a true test of democracy, so we will rally to fight corruption through media. It is my hope that more Solomon Islanders will have access to your blog and contribute constructively. Cheers and Kia ora<br /><br />EkehAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
