An investigation by police in Malaita Province in the matter of missing life-saving medicines from Kilu’ufi Hospital medical store is still ongoing. 

Malaita Provincial Police Commander Superintendent Michael Ramosaea said the police are not taking the investigation lightly as it is a life-saving matter. 

He said new evidence has been found and a few packs of medicine were also discovered so this will help their investigation.

“The investigation is still ongoing.

“There are some new pieces of evidence that we have gathered, which will help our investigation,” he said.

Superintendent Ramosaea mentioned that they will continue their investigation until they have arrested those involved in the alleged theft of the medicines.

He calls on rural community members to work together with the police to report anyone selling stolen medicine.

Superintendent Ramosaea said some of the medicines they have collected are from drunken people in Auki Town.

“I call on the people, especially the people from the rural communities, to come forward and report areas in our communities where you can buy medicines when you are sick.

“We know that some people don’t want to report leads to those missing medicines because they are afraid that they may get suspended,” he said.
