Government is committed to addressing reconciliation: PM Sogavare

Solomon Islands' Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has re-iterated his Government's determination to address national reconciliation in the country.

Mr Sogavare was responding to recent criticisms by the Parliamentary Opposition Spokesman for Independent members of parliament, Daniel Enele Kwanairara.

Mr Kwanairara has accused Government of not living up to its promises on taking power that it will prioritise the reconciliation process in the country.

Prime Minister Sogavare says that his Government will embark on a comprehensive programme to tackle reconciliation issues.

He says his government will include a wide range of issues such as destruction of properties, killings and compensation in the reconciliation process.

Mr Sogavare says the Government will have to tackle it in a more complex form over a longer period in order to succeed instead of looking at it in a very narrow path.

The Prime Minister says it will take time to finalised and implement the reconciliation programme.
