Tovua blames Solomons gov't decision to terminate National Peace Council for recent violence in Guadalcanal

A prominent Solomon Islands leader, Paul Tovua has blamed the early termination of the National Peace Council (NPC) for the recent spate of criminal activities in some parts of Guadalcanal.

Mr Tovua was the Chairman of the National Peace Council which was prematurely terminated in 2006.

He says the termination of the Peace Council was a very bad move by the government.

Mr Tovua said this after returning from South Guadalcanal with the executive members of the Regional Assistance Mission to talk to villagers following recent disturbances there.
