The Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT) focus now is on decentralizing projects to the provinces.

Manasseh Maelanga, the minister for the Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) expressed the above in an interview with the paper on Tuesday this week.

He emphasized that at the moment they are looking at how they can decentralize more projects to the provinces as people in the provinces may look at Honiara and wonder why projects are only taking place in the capital.

Maelanga said this is what his ministry is working on.

“We have to look at decentralizing more projects to the provinces”

Maelanga stressed that they are looking at having projects from MID not only in one province at a time but rolling out projects in more than one province.

“So, it is like, when we have one project in Western province, there should also be at least one project in Makira province or one in Malaita”

The member of parliament for East Malaita stressed that this is what the government is trying to implement and see happen in the country in terms of projects from MID.

Maelanga noted that he wants to assure the public, especially people who talk about roads that the government is working on projects like this.
