SI govt to launch its policy document today

The Grand Coalition Government for Change led by Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare will launch its joint policy document today.

Chairman of Government Caucus, Steve Abana said yesterday that the joint policy document is an amalgamation of the positions of the different groupings in the coalition.

He said the statement reflects the position to harmonize the priority areas for the government to deal with.

Part one of the policy document consists of immediate issues that the government will pursue vigorously, while the second part consists of a general policy statement that would entail the policy direction for the government.

Mr Abana also acknowledged that there are on-going exercises that the government would have a re-look at before they can be adopted.

The next step according to the Caucus Chairman is to work out a timeframe for the implementation of the government’s policy document.

Prime Minister, Mr Sogavare will launch the joint policy document which is expected to be live broadcast by the National Broadcaster, SIBC starting at 3pm today afternoon at the King Solomon Hotel.
