Makira Ulawa Province will officially mark its 42nd Second Appointed Day anniversary on Monday 4th August, 2025.
The anniversary, which annually falls on 3rd August was supposed to be celebrated this coming Sunday, but was rescheduled to 4th Monday.
The Second Appointed Day will be celebrated with the theme; Empowering Makria Ulawa Province for United, Self-reliant and Prosperous Future”.
In a brief interview with Makira Ulawa Province’s Premier Stanley Siapu on Thursday, July 31, 2025, he said the theme reflects the principles his government stands for and wants to promote for the people of Makira Ulawa province.
Since the Siapu led People’s Alliance for Change, Reform and Advancement (PACRA) government of Makira Ulawa province took office, they are working to establish an environment where the province is united and can become self reliant.
Some of the major projects the people and government of MUP need to unite behind are the Kirakira wharf and Kirakira cocoa factory.
These two projects plus other proposed infrastructure development projects for the province will empower people to become self reliant and ensure they are financially strong.
This is the cornerstone of the policies of PACRA government to ensure development and prosperous future for Makira Ulawa province.
Siapu said as MUP will mark this year’s Second Appointed Day – it is time to reflect on the past and unite to face the future together as one people and province.
He assured the people of MUP on the commitment of his government to work closely with them, the national government and development partners to realize development aspirations of the province.
Meanwhile, the premier said preparation is well underway for the 42nd 2nd Appointed Day anniversary, which will formally be held at Kirakira with the Minister for Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthen, (MPGIS) Hon Wayne Ghemu as the guest of honor.
Representatives from development partners such as Australia, the Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC) and others will also attend the celebration.
The premier calls on the people of Makira Ulawa province to be reminded on the theme for this year’s celebration; “Empowering Makira Ulawa province for United, Self-reliant and Prosperous Future” as they unite to mark the province’s special day.
