BUDGET set and today members of Western Provincial Government expecting to take part in the motion of sine die.

Yesterday’s session was nominated by question and answers. Leaders of the non-executive put forward questions to the premier.

Most of the questions were related to how best the Alliance for Change, Alignment and Rural Economic Advancement (ACAREA) can address some of the pressing issues including; proposal to celebrate Western Day in Wards, accommodation for market vendors and sick people who seek medical help at Gizo Hospital and accommodation entitlements for provincial members.

Premier Billy Veo and his executive respond to the questions respectively to the appreciation of the movers of the questions.

He said ACAREA government is trying its best to address all the issue raised with progress made to some of the issues.

Delivering the sine die motion, Veo acknowledged the leaders for the successful debate and passing of Western Province’s 2025/2026 appropriation budget estimates.

“I would like to emphasis the challenges that my government continues to deal with as we look to explore options in progressing some of the government’s policy intention. As a provincial government and as an agent, we often do not have upper hand but we will continue to persist and exert pressure where there are leverages in order to see through some of these important visions,” he said.

Veo request the assembly to support ACAREA government in the implementation of the development projects and service deliveries.
