District lawmaker said to be slow to distribute funds
HONIARA, Solomon Islands (SIBC, Feb. 24, 2008) – Disgruntled victims of the [April] 2007 tsunami in the Gizo/ Kolombangara constituency have threatened to stage a protest if delay in the disbursement of funds continue.
School teacher Ralph Suta told Radio Hapi Lagun that after the funds have been given to each constituency, victims in the Gizo/Kolombangara have yet to receive any form of assistance.
He says many are still living in tents and want to be assisted as soon as possible.
