North Malaita MP dismisses call to resign

The member of Parliament for North Malaita, Daniel Enele Kwanairara, says he has not received any information from his people in his constituency to resign from the government of Snyder Rini.

Mr Kwanairara says this in response to a call by a group in Honiara for him to resign from the the government claiming that it is the wish of the people.

The Mines and Energy Minister says while he appreciates the group's concern he says his voters including chiefs in his constituency have mandated him to be part of the government.

A spokesman for the group of people, Moses Makamu, told SIBC that the group of more than 30 people from North Malaita met on Sunday at the Honiara main market and agreed to ask their MP to resign.

Mr Makamu says the group tried on two occasions on Sunday to pass on the message to their MP at his house in Lengakiki, but without success.
