The use of violence to achieve anything in life is not the right way to do things said the leader of Independent group and Member of Parliament for North New Georgia, Hon. John Dean Kuku.
He made the statement when speaking on the floor of parliament during the debate of Motion of No confidence against Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare Monday 6th December.
“Lawlessness as means to achieve an objective must be condemned in the strongest term.
“We fail to groom the next leaders, we love to divide and rule. What we need is to reconstruct our country not to deconstruct.
Hon Kuku reiterated that the Monday’s 6th MONC is not about personalities, nor about retribution for the recent unfortunate happenings, nor is it about unpleasant exchange between the government and opposition or about opinions raise in the media.
“It is about principals of democracy and of the accountability of the executive government to the national parliament and people of Solomon Islands.”
According to the leader, the vote of no Confidence Motion is the way in which the executive gov’t is required to be accountable to parliament, a time of reckoning, and it is a parliamentary audit of a long line of policy statements in the policy redirection documents.
He added that it is also an audit of promises made by the Prime Minister in his policy redirection announcements on the floor of parliament, most importantly it is about the future of this country.
“SI has gone through this in the past and we should know better. We need not go through this path again. Good governance is how people in position of power and leadership conduct the affairs of the nation with resources to satisfy the need of our society,’’ he said.
