MOI holds Consultation

Malaita Outer Islands held a weeklong consultation in Honiara to get their views on the 2011 Draft Federal Constitution of Solomon Islands.

About sixty representatives of MOI from Sikaiana, Liuanua and Pelau attended from 12-16 November 2012 at King Solomon Conference room.

The consultation was part of the “catch-up Feedbacks” that were supposed to be held in 2010 for the country’s outer islands, which included both Malaita Outer-Islands and Temotu Vattu islands; however those did not eventuate at the time because of budgetary shortfalls.

MOI participants made resolutions in relation to the 2011 Draft Federal Constitution, which was submitted to the team leader to include in the MOI Consultation report.
