The Malaita provincial government (MPG) has since last week cleared illegal market vendors in Auki town.

The exercise was in response to a seven-day notice issued by MPG that lapsed two weeks ago. The exercise promotes MPG’s clean-green campaign and ensure Auki town is properly organised.

Premier Ellijah Asilaua said, “Last year, we launched the green campaign and we continue to uphold the objectives of the campaign.

“The ultimate goal behind the campaign is to transform Auki into greater city, as MPG is working toward.

“In light of that, MPG issued the notice – encouraging vendors to go back to designated market facilities in Auki.”

In enforcing the notice, Asilaua said MPG security personnel and members of RSIPF in Auki have demolished illegal market vendors in Auki town.

These include smoke and betel nut markets, cooked food and others.

Asilaua added the exercise will continue until illegal market activity in Auki is done with.
