Premier Siapu, who was just elected to lead the province, believes strongly that his government can make the changes needed for progress
Before the ceremony last week, Premier Siapu talked to the people of Makira Ulawa Province. He told them he’s sure about his administration and their shared vision to bring the change the province really needs to make progress.
Notably, Premier Siapu’s government comprises mostly of new faces, with few former Provincial Members of Assembly (MPAs).
The addition of new talent shows that things are changing from how they used to be. It also shows a promise to bring new ideas and energy to governing.
