  Layla Kere "Like it or not,pidgin is here to stay"Its never mentioned on any above comments that S.Is pijin shouldn't be used in this forum- The initial thread is in PNG PISIN( not ours) This forum has guidelines that we members have to abide to-(no other languages or dialects should be used other than the two main ones that we as Solomon islanders speak & understand! Gee-read between the lines!

  Deli-Sharon Oso The English version of the news item above should be as follows:
  Solomon Islands Prime Minister said it was wrong to register civil society groups under the country’s (Solomon Islands) Charitable Act hence the Government must put this right.
  Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo said it was not true that he’s been trying to deregister three civil society groups from the charitable organization list.

  Sione Tuhaika Political activism within organizations registered under Charitable Act is a huge concern Oso. What na "Charitable Act" ya, hem includim tu oketa pipol engage in "political activities"? If hem true, the PM has a point. Either findem category for oketa or creatim wanfala fo oketa. Just an observation.

  Buddley Sogotio Charitable organisation are non-profit org, or non-business entities. Therefore, according to my view they are legally entitled to perform political awareness.

  Sione Tuhaika I would like to see that law... can someone post it here so we can discuss here with substance. Political awareness and activism are two different things; working in cahoots with a political group (gov't or opposition) in my view is not compatible with a mission of a charitable organization aka "NGO". Tingting nomo.

  Falimae Jr Dandan PM only wants to change the Law of Charitable Act because these are the organizations that he can't stand to face. They expose him to his fullest weaknesses as a leader and he should accept the fact that such exist so we have a balance.Therefore he wants to change things so things can be on his side to keep him in his comfort zone.

  Sione Tuhaika Mi no suggestim what Lilo hem duim hem rait, but if NGOs are doing things contrary to the "Charitable Act" - example, actively calling for the removal of the PM, pressuring government to do certain things ... and if kain activities olsem hem no fall inline with that law, Lilo garem point! That's my opinion, stand to be correct by our legal experts!

  Ed Saramo The issue raised by the PM is a legal one. FSII and ANSI, for example, are registered under the Charitable Trusts Act. Both have registered copies of their constitutions which spell out their objectives. These objectives do not permit involvement in politics (eg calling on the PM to step down). If a registered trust board engages in an activity outside its objectives, isn't it abusing the privilege of registration?

  Mariselo Asupeu The intention to review Charitable Act may only be fitting to a certain religious group. They never go to poll, less bother how govt behave but benefit from govt services both +/-. If SI find itself in the situation, what does this mean. God bless SI.

  Buddley Sogotio So their objectives did not permit them to engage in politics...hmm..interesting. So if a political party wants to register, what act will a political party register under in the Solomon Islands?

  Ed Saramo Sure DSO. As far as I understand, there is no law that provides for the registration of political parties. In the past political parties were registered under the Charitable Trusts Act but this is wrong and my office will be taking steps to remove them from the Charitable Trusts register. Existing political parties like those making up the current Opposition will be affected but law law na ia people.

  David Lidimani De-registering political parties in both camps won't affect SI politics or status of MPs in Parliament. Not one iota!! For since when has political ideology (party manifestos) established itself as the bedrock or hallmark of SI politics??...NEVER! Just kill them all and start on a clean slate

  Deli-Sharon Oso It is now very clear from ES comments on this thread that the PM is desperate to silence the Opposition and the FSII, ANSI and MMF. Please God save SI!
