Work on a new area that will be used for Auki clothes market vendors is in progress with LF machinery.
Completion of work of this new area will be good news for the clothing vendors after NPF permanently closed their private site at the beginning of this month.
Premier of Malaita Province, Elijah Asilaua, confirmed that the progress of work at the site and reaffirms the provincial government’s support for the vendors.
He said backfilling work is near its completion, and once it is completed, fencing and construction of a house will come next.
“Backfilling work is underway by LF machinery. The area is just next to the betelnut market.
“Once the backfilling and compacting are complete, a fence and a house will be built to provide shade for the vendors,” he said.
Asilaua said the timeframe of the work done at the new area is unknown and it depends on those assigned to do the work.
“I will not tell the exact time for the completion of the area at the moment, as it fails people’s trust once the construction is not done at the expected time,” he said.
