The Malaita Provincial Assembly Speaker, Joe Hero’au, has put a 14-day notice period for any possible motion of no confidence for submission, starting yesterday.
This comes following media claims of a possible motion of no confidence to be moved against Malaita’s Premier, Elijah Asilaua, once the Malaita Provincial Assembly starts its meeting this month.
Speaker Hero’au said his office is yet to receive any report of the motion from the mover.
He stated that since he has put the notice period for submission, his office will welcome any submissions of the motion.
“Yes, I can say that since last week, I haven’t received any formal submission of any motion of no confidence.
“Since I haven’t yet received any submission, I put a 14-day notice period for the submission of the motion,” he said.
He stressed that once his office receives any submission of a motion of no confidence, it will be the assembly’s first business.
“If there is no submission of any possible motion, then we will go straight into our meeting. But if I receive any submission, then it will be our assembly’s first business,” he said.
Island Sun understands that Malaita Provincial Premier, Elijah Asilaua’s government has taken up office just last year in May and if there is a motion to be moved against him, it will be the first.
