AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Mining Integrity Watch: Solomon Islands Opposition leader Manasseh Sogavare has urged Attorney-General Gabriel Suri to recuse himself from all APID-related matters as investigations begin into questionable bauxite shipments, after Suri previously acted for APID in a case involving alleged unpaid royalties. Governance & Transparency: Prime Minister Matthew Wale says future international security deals will be handled more transparently, with stronger parliamentary oversight, while noting the China security agreement’s non-disclosure clause limits what can be released publicly. Aviation Upgrade: Work on the World Bank-funded Honiara International Airport Aviation Complex Building is nearing completion, with the external façade installed and access road works about 80% done. Extractives Transparency Training: UNDP and the British High Commission ran a Training of Trainers for civil society on EITI implementation, monitoring and reporting to strengthen accountability in the oil, gas and mining sector. Roads for Rural Trade: In Malaita, TTC has started a 5km tar-sealed road from Kwaibala to Oibola, supported by the National Transport Fund and aimed at creating local jobs and better market access. Rural Transport Boost: North Guadalcanal received 13 trucks for its economic zones under a PRC-supported rural development programme, with co-funding from MRD and the Constituency Development Fund. Resource Sector Oversight: PM Wale says the government welcomes credible logging and mining investment but will act against companies that deliberately break the law. Digital Finance Push: M-SELEN’s 3rd anniversary rewards promotion runs June 11 to Oct 2, encouraging more daily use of digital payments. Minimum Wage Debate: SICCI calls for a data-driven minimum wage review, warning that any increase must reflect both worker cost-of-living needs and business capacity. Cyclone Maila Recovery Funding: Government estimates about $150 million is needed for recovery after Tropical Cyclone Maila, covering health, education, livelihoods and housing. Sports & Business Community: Football fever hit Honiara with a World Cup fan parade, while Malaita’s Kwaibaita Football League opened with 22 teams—highlighting youth sport as a local development and sponsorship opportunity.
