Know What is Happening Around You

The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.

S.I heads towards Socio-Economic catastrophe

By Andrew Fanasia Jr.

Unless we vote out irresponsible leaders our country is heading towards socio- economic catastrophe in the next four years.

East Honiara constituency and Our Party candidates Jeffery Samuel Maesua revealed in his campaign at Panatina valley yesterday.

He affirmed that our country’s economy is falling backward which badly affected our development at large.

Beyond reasonable doubts, he said Solomon Islands is lucking leaders who are there for the people to address the real problem affecting the economy of our country.

“Our economy today and in the future will not allow the 60 percent of our dependence population mostly young people to survive in the next four years.

“If we continue to put irresponsible leaders in the parliament then I guarantee to you that Solomon Islands is heading towards catastrophe,” Maesua affirmed.

He said, “According to Our Party platform, addressing the Solomon Islands economy is first and for most their priority.”

Maesua believed that, rebuilding the country’s economy will improve the services provided to the people by the government.

But the underlying question is how his party will improve the economy of this country in four years time.

Maesua confidently said that tourism is their number one priority and “that’s where ‘Our party’s’ vision is concern.”

He added that, building more canneries will be another vital step to rebuild our economy, “we can build one or two cannery in once a year.”

These, he said are the kind of national project our leaders should prioritize rather than talking about the same old development every four years.
Maesua however, talked strongly on the failure of the past government of how they are dealing with our economy although he commended some of their achievements.
