Mamaloni, Pitakaka told to resign

A MEMBER of the Solomon Islands Opposition, Francis Saemala, has writ ten to the Governor- General asking him and the Prime Minister to resign.

Saemala said the country faced a

serious financial crisis which could lead to civil unrest, disorder and chaos if it was not handled properly. He said the root of the problems date back to last year’s constitutional crisis which he claimed was caused by the Governor- General, Moses Pitakaka, and the Prime Minister, Solomon Mamaloni.

Saemala said the government’s finan cial situation had been deteriorating since the beginning of June.

He said amendments to the Central Bank Act, which the government had proposed, point in the direction of rule by anarchy.

Saemala said he could not see how things would improve unless there was a spirit of co-operation among various groups in parliament.

He said Pitakaka and Mamaloni must resign to maintain the integrity of the constitution and nation.
