The Premier of Makira-Ulawa Province, Stanley Siapu, is calling for stronger cooperation in advancing development across the province, stressing that it should not rest on the government alone.
Speaking at a recent full provincial assembly meeting in Kirakira, Premier Siapu said meaningful development requires partnerships among communities, churches, traditional leaders, the private sector, and development partners.
“Only through collective commitment can the aspirations of Makira-Ulawa province become a reality,” he said.
He also reminded members of the provincial assembly that leadership is not measured by words, but by the positive and tangible changes experienced by the people they serve.
“The aspirations and expectations of our people are clear.
“They want better education for their children, stronger health services for their families, reliable infrastructure that connects communities, and economic opportunities that allow them to prosper with dignity,” Siapu said.
He emphasized that these expectations must guide every decision made by leaders.
Premier Siapu urges his fellow leaders to remain committed to their responsibility of governing the province with purpose and accountability.
“The fruits of our labour must not remain hidden in reports, meetings, or speeches, but must be seen and felt in every village, every household, and every community across Makira-Ulawa province,” he said.
