Stability in leadership and institutions remains a central priority of the Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT).
Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele told local media the above during his press conference on Wednesday this week.
He said that the recent appointments, the swearing in by David Gina, a Member of Parliament for South New Georgia, Randova Antetepari, and the swearing in by Ian Vaevaso as Commissioner of Police, highlight this.
“On Sunday evening, David Gina, Member of Parliament for South New Georgia, Randova Antetepari, was sworn in as the Minister for Rural Development. Furthermore, following a rigorous constitutional process, Mr Ian Vaevaso was sworn in as Commissioner of Police on the 24th of April.
“These appointments ensure continuity, stability and effective service delivery across government,” he said.
“As we continue through 2026, the Government for National Unity and Transformation remains focused on delivering its priorities, strengthening stability, advancing economic growth, improving infrastructure and investing in our people,” he said.
He said that the government’s responsibility is to reach rural communities and implement reforms effectively.
“Our responsibility is to ensure that government services reach our communities, that reforms are implemented effectively and that we respond decisively to both national and global challenges,” PM Manele said.
He further adds that nation-building requires discipline, patriotism and a shared commitment from all citizens.
The PM also acknowledged the media for the role they play in informing the people of the happenings and the partnership in playing an important role.
“I again acknowledge members of the media for your continued partnership and the important role and responsibility that you have in informing our people with factual information,” PM Manele said.
