LACK of water supply, poor infrastructure and little economic opportunities are some the ongoing development challenges for the North Guadalcanal Constituency.

Member of Parliament(MP) Dr. Paul Bosawai highlighted this during the sine die motion last week.

Although North Guadalcanal is located near the capital city, the constituency suffers from a critical shortage of proper water supply.

Bosawai also pointed out that outdated legislation, such as the Road Act and the Lands and Titles Act, further worsens these challenges, preventing development from reaching the area.

Despite host to some of the major economic activities like Guadalcanal Plains Palm Oil Limited (GPPOL), Bosawai noted that essential infrastructure and quality services are scarce in the region.

However, as an MP, he is committed to driving long-term reforms to create a more favorable environment for sustainable development in his constituency.

Since taking up office, the Bosawai has narrowed down his goal to improve education and infrastructure.

Since taking office, Bosawai has focused on improving education and infrastructure. In collaboration with the Gaobata School administration, he recently submitted a proposal to the Japanese embassy in the Solomon Islands for financial assistance.

Additionally, he told parliament that roads in North Guadalcanal are being improved to provide access to markets, particularly benefiting women.

Looking ahead, Bosawai expressed optimism for further investments in income-generating projects in 2025.
