A Barana Chief of Mount Austin has called on people in Honiara not to
build their homes on the banks of Matanikau river again.
Chief Joseph Manehamosa says he is making this call in light of the
recent flash floods that claimed homes and the lives of over 20 people
and children.
“Just a suggestion I want to put across for people living along the river, now they must see what has happened because this is the nature and not a person control, but where homes were lost is still the river bed. For that reason I want to tell people please do not build back where you’ve already lost your homes.”
