In a statement relayed to a meeting yesterday of Isabel Chiefs, leaders and Trustees at Jejevo in Buala, Mr Sogavare reiterated the government’s seriousness in ensuring his leadership is beneficial and uplifting for Solomon Islanders.

To this end, Prime Minister Sogavare said the government will be, “reform-minded, people-focussed and rules-based”.

The Prime Minister's statement said the government will remove barriers that impede development at rural level, and ensure that policies that deliver results are implemented.

The Government Communications Unit says government has been translating its policy statement into ministerial work programs and projects, which will result in a workable Programme of Action for the next four years.
