Malaita Province has held its first meeting for the heads of division at the Malaita Provincial Chamber.
The meeting yesterday [Jan 29] was for the division heads to update and report on their quarterly work plans, strengths and weaknesses.
In an interview with the paper, a source within the youth division, Malaita Province, said it is an annual preparation for their budget planning for the new financial year of the province in March.
The source said that during the discussion, each division shares what their strengths and weaknesses are and what needs improving.
“Yes, the meeting is held specifically to look back at what needs to be improved and what has been achieved.
“It is also a time to look at the preparation of the annual budget planning for each quarter.”
The source said that the police and correctional, forestry, finance, lands, disaster and climate change, health, and environmental health divisions are yet to present theirs.
During the meeting yesterday they were also thinking of forming another division called the legal advice division.
The source said that the division will oversee the legal issues in the province, as it is facing many unsolved legal issues.
“We almost have 20 divisions. So now we are thinking of creating and forming another division to look after the legal issues in our province.
“We hope that this legal division will help tackle the huge legal issues in the province.”
The meeting started on Thursday, Jan 29 and continues today (Friday, Jan 30).
