Hon. Tovosia apologized and cited his marriage to a Malaitan as sign he isn't anti-Malaitan

Member of Parliament for East Guadalcanal has issued an apology to people who may feel hurt about the statements he uttered in parliament during the second reading of the constitutional amendment bill 2022.

“I apologize to the peace loving people of this country for the words I used in parliament recently,” Honorable Bradley Tovosia stated.

“I understand that my statements were taken out of context to say I directed it to certain ethnic grouping, I want to put in paper that I never specifically called out any particular ethnic group,” Tovosia clarified.

Honorable Member of Parliament for East Guadalcanal has issued an apology to people who may feel hurt about the statements he uttered in parliament during the second reading of the constitutional amendment bill 2022.

Tovosia further clarified that he never made mention of any particular ethnic group, and that the recent riot of November 2021 has involved the rest of the country.

“Although the architects came to Honiara in a ship, those who participated in the looting and burning of shops and buildings came from every Provinces including some Guadalcanal people as well,” Tovosia explained.

The Honorable MP for East Guadalcanal said his comments were directed to those rioters and those who planned the evil scheme.

Honorable Tovosia further clarified that Honiara is the home of every Solomon Islanders, and since Honiara is on Guadalcanal Island- as a Guadalcanal MP- he has the equal concern for the safety and security of Honiara and its residents.

“Every time a threat is being issued, Honiara is always the target. This is not on, as Honiara is the home for every Solomon Islanders and it is in that context that I strongly called on law breakers to stop using Honiara as a war zone,” Tovosia explained.

Tovosia also stated that he is married to a woman from Kwaio and have big children of mixed ethnicities- Guadalcanal and Malaita (Kwaio). Adding that, he would not stoop that low to label any ethnicity or Provinces.

The East Guadalcanal MP who is also the minister of Mines and Energy, however, reiterated that he sincerely apologizes for allowing his emotions to get the better of him but maintaining that he did not direct the comments at any particular ethnicity or Province.

Adding that the comments were for those who orchestrated and involved in the provocation and participation in last November’s riots.

Tovosia concluded that the DCGA Government maintains a national principle of Peace and Unity within the country and rejects any attempts to orchestrate violence within our communities.

Sogavare is a dangerous paranoid prime minister

The Australian government has donated police vehicles and deadly weapons to the Solomon Islands' government per the request of the prime minister of the less developed country in the region. The ridiculous thing he said in justifying these deadly weapons is that they are crucial to the prosperity of the country, which is absolutely ridiculous. Besides that, he also accepted donation from China of motorbikes and riot vehicles. Are these weapons necessary or are these so-called powers merely feeding into the paranoia of this mentally unstable prime minister? Prime Minister Sogavare had been in government since the 90s and was elected in 1997 until now as MP for East Choisel. And he should remember that in the 1980s and 1990s, prosperity defined the country, and though various governments succeeded, and the economy fluctuated, it was largely considered stable until the late 1990s when the SI government decided to buy weapons to protect itself from the threats posed by the PNG Defense...

Sogavare lied to the world

SOGAVARE LIED AT THE UNGA The Prime Minister of SI spoke at the United Nations General Assembly, attacking two important key issues he believes that are hurting his government and SI. First, he went after what he called an effort on 'Social Media' to spread disinformation about his 'China – SI' security pact, which he signed earlier this year. In it, Sogavare claimed that most of the things said about him and his new friends, the Chinese Communist Party, were done deliberately to mislead his country and the world. As a result of that, he said the misleading information led to riots and looting, as we'd seen at the end of 2021. Secondly, Sogavare attacked – indirectly – Australia and its allies such as the US and Britain. Choosing a foreign partner is the right of a sovereign, independent state. He argued that his government's partnership with the Chinese government is solely for the interest of the country, and decried any perception that SI was becoming an a...

China hits back at Australia over claims Beijing is spreading false narratives in SI

On Saturday China slammed a recent report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, which claimed that China is attempting to "spread false narratives and suppress information on a range of topics" in the Solomon Islands. Chinese authorities said such move is an ineffective attempt to stir trouble. There is no doubt that the Chinese Communist Party is all over Solomon Islands influencing its decision making, and its domestic policies. This is a violation of all diplomatic decorum where domestic issues are left to the governing bodies, not foreign entities. In the months after booting China out of the country, China wanted to ensure no one in the country had any connection to Taiwan. No only did the government of Sogavare pushed hard against any provinces that still remained loyal to Taiwan, it was doing so at the best of Beijing. Sogavare had attacked the Malaita Province, and attempted to unseat the pro-Taiwanese premier Suidani. The Suidani government was shaken and ...
