EDITORIAL : SI needs Qualified and Quality Leaders.

Solomon Islanders are craving for qualified and quality leaders to take the nation forward.

As the national general election in August 4th 2010 is drawing near, people are making up their minds who to chose or to be their next representative in the highest decision making place in the country- the National Parliament.

Without doubt our citizens need a leader with qualification, meaning he is well educated, he can understand what his job in the Parliament for, he can perform to the expectation of his constituency or the country and he can make wise decisions which can benefit his/her constituency or the entire country.

A qualified leader has a capacity to understand our Constitutions, Parliament protocols and good knowledge of the system of governance in the country.

Or a leader who desire good works; he must be above reproach, must have one wife or vice verser, respectable, and free from the love of money, this qualification might look small but this are some type of qualification we need to see in our leaders.

It has been evident in the past that some of the leaders we (citizens) of this country put them into the Parliament become a laughing stoke to our constituency because they are not qualified enough to be there.

So now let us reconsider our past decisions and make the right choice in this coming national general election.

On the other hand, our constituency and the entire nation are in craving need for quality leaders.
What good is a country if it is managed by leaders who are of no quality; who are corrupt, greedy and are hungry for power? This is the main reason why many individuals in our country are suffering from the wrong doings of many politicians we look to as leaders.

The qualities they possess are their main tickets towards the development of our country and to getting the people's trust and sympathy.
Leaders should give out all their best. It is just the same as how the best stun guns give their full performance when someone is in dire need. Hopefully, leaders will do their best and will really exert an effort towards making a change.
The challenge is upon us the voters; our decision today determines our future,

If we continue to make wrong choices on the 4th of August this year then in term of four years let’s not blame our leaders but blame ourselves for the wrong decision we make when we cast our votes on the 4th of August 2010.
