Malaita Provincial Assembly’s third quarter meeting has been rescheduled for the first week of November to give ample time for the Joint Oversight Committee to finalise its paperwork.
Premier Elijah Asilau’a told Island Sun Auki that since Malaita is qualified for PCDF, the Joint Oversight Committee needs to finalise ‘vital areas of PCDF’.
“Our assembly meeting was moved to next month, about the first week of November or at the end of November,” he said.
“This is to give some time for the JOC, the Joint Oversight Committee, to finalize, oversee, and revise areas that need to be finalised in the PCDF.
“Since our province qualifies once more for the PCDF, a clear and focused plan on areas that need to be finalised before our meeting,” he said.
He said the Joint Oversight Committee will be having their meeting sometime next week.
Asilau’a encouraged the people of Malaita province to be patient with the provincial government regarding the implementation of projects under the PCDF for this year.
