Member of Parliament (MP) for East Honiara, Morris To’iraena, emphasised the importance of teamwork among constituency chairpersons and staff to effectively serve the people of East Honiara.
He made the remarks during the East Honiara Constituency Zone Chairpersons’ Workshop at Maranatha Hall Thursday last week.
The workshop brought together chairpersons in the constituency to share knowledge, develop skills, strengthen collaboration, and discuss development projects that address the needs of communities in East Honiara.
Speaking at the event, To’iraena urged members of the constituency office to work closely with chairpersons.
“I want to appeal to the team at the constituency office that you should work closely with the chairpersons,” he said.
To’iraena said the chairmen and chairwomen who attended the workshop represent more than 150 zones within the East Honiara Constituency.
He said through teamwork and a clear understanding of their respective roles, they can better serve their communities.
“Chairmen and chairladies, you are the backbone of our community structure. You are the link between the people on the ground and the leadership of our constituency,” he said.
He reminded the participants that their performance directly affects the success of the constituency.
“You represent your people. When you fail, we fail. When you are strong, we become stronger together. You are the channel between the community and the constituency office,” Mr To’iraena said.
He said the role of chairpersons includes mobilising communities, managing projects, and ensuring development initiatives reach the people.
“If a bridge in your area is damaged and you do not report it to the office, it means the work is not being done. We are here to serve our people,” he said.
Mr To’iraena said the workshop was organised to strengthen participants’ understanding of development programmes within the constituency.
“The knowledge and information shared today will help you better serve your zones and our people, ensuring that development initiatives are implemented responsibly and transparently,” he said.
