HCC responsibility is business licence, not roads: Mayor

BY BARNABAS MANEBONA

HONIARA City Council (HCC) Mayor Hon Andrew Mua recently clarified that they are responsible for business licence and not maintenance along the main roads.

This is to make aware from receiving continuous calls from the public for them to address the road conditions.

“People are always complaining about the road conditions calling on HCC but it is not our responsibility, it is the National Government’s through the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID),” said Hon Mua.

“We are responsible for licence in giving authorisation to businesses so that they operate.”

From continuous calls made to HCC for the maintenance of roads, the HCC Mayor said he wants to make clear to the public that it is not their responsibility.
