PM’s OFFICE CLARIFIED BAUXITE ISSUE

It further adds, it is not uncommon for citizens, interest groups, investors, companies, Church and even sports groups to at times, write or raise issues directly with the Prime Minister as Head of the Government whenever circumstances require such interventions.

The Prime Minister’s Office confirmed that Hon. Sogavare more often than not at his own discretion takes the time to clarify or inform these various stakeholders of the Government’s views, intentions, policies and decisions in response to their queries, letters and messages which demonstrate the Prime Minister’s commitment towards advancing the national interest without fear or favour.

The Parliamentary Opposition Group has yesterday raised serious concerns over the Prime Minister’s alleged personal contact with mining company Bintang – claiming the leader benefits from the company thus promising them zero tax on bauxite.
