IN its latest show of political stability, the Government of National Unity and Transformation (GNUT) has appointed the Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Guadalcanal, Francis Sade, as the new Minister of Public Service yesterday.

This follows the resignation of former Public Service Minister and the MP for Renell and Bellona John Tuhaika Jr on Friday night just hours after GNUT described itself as “rock solid’, ahead of the Motion of No Confidence (MONC) on Monday.

Sade’s sworn-in took place before the Governor-general, David Tiva Kapu, and was witnessed by Prime Minister, Jeremiah Manele, Deputy Prime Minister Bradley Tovosia, and other ministers at the government house.

In a press statement, the government stated “Sade’s appointment will ensure continuity and, most importantly, task him with the implementation of government policies under the 2025 budget.”

GNUT emphasized that ‘stable leadership’ is vital for implementing ‘its transformative projects and programs.”

Before his ministerial appointment, Sade served as the Deputy Speaker of the National Parliament and was also the former premier of Guadalcanal province.
