The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) wishes to inform the public that the liquor ban, initially imposed from April 16th to April 26th, has been extended.
The new liquor ban order is effective as of 26 April to 15 May 2024. The Liquor Ban Order 2024 was enacted by the then caretaker Minister for Home Affairs, Christopher Laore, under section 82(1) of the Liquor Act (Cap.144).
The order, published in an Extra Ordinary Gazette, mandates the closure of all licensed premises, bars, nightclubs and bottle shops across Solomon Islands. The sale of liquor is strictly prohibited on these premises, except for licensed bars within hotels or restaurants serving bona fide guests.
