Former Member of Parliament for Central Kwara’ae Constituency, Jackson Fiulaua, has been called to rest on Sunday.
Born on October 13, 1957, in Raiako, Malaita, Mr. Fiulaua was 67 years old at the time of his passing.
In an official statement yesterday, the Speaker of Parliament, Patteson John Oti, together with members and staff of the National Parliament, extended their heartfelt condolences to the family of late Fiulaua.
Parliament staff expressed their “deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences” to Mrs Mary Fiulaua, their children, and the extended family in Honiara and Okwala Village, Central Kwara’ae, Malaita Province.
After completing primary school, Fiulaua began his career as a builder and went on to become a successful entrepreneur, managing one of the leading local construction companies in the Solomon Islands.
He entered politics in the August 2010 general election, winning the Central Kwara’ae seat as an independent candidate, unseating the incumbent Deputy Prime Minister Fred Fono, who had held the seat for twelve years.
Fiulaua served as a committed representative of Central Kwara’ae in the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Parliaments, holding office from 2010 to 2024.
During the Ninth Parliament, he was appointed Minister for Infrastructure Development under Prime Minister Danny Philip. He also served as Chairman of the DBSI Sub-Committee and Deputy Chairman of Caucus under the Manasseh Sogavare-led Democratic Coalition Government for Advancement (DCGA).
The Speaker’s message paid tribute to the late Fiulaua’s roles as a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, acknowledging the profound loss felt by his family and the wider community.
