Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has said the Manaoba Airport project is yet to be brought to a conclusion because it was not handled correctly from the beginning.
He made the comment during the opening of the Funa’afou Sanitation project in Malaita.
“The Manoba airport project is yet to be brought to a conclusion because it was not handled properly right from the very beginning. There is clear sensitivity to the tenets of our customary land system in the way land issues were handled and as you would know, millions of dollars of taxpayers money have been spent on the project and we would like to see it open. This, of course, will require the full cooperation of our people to work through the difficulties encountered.”
