PRIME Minister Jeremiah Manele calls on all public servants to remain focused on delivering essential services and leave political matters to elected leaders amid ongoing political developments.
He made the remarks during a dinner hosted by the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs in Gizo, following the official opening of the Western Province Youth Centre.
Manele emphasised that despite the current political situation, government services must continue without disruption.
“Today, I wish to acknowledge all of you who gathered here in Gizo to carry out your different roles,” he said.
He commended the ministry for successfully launching the Western Province’s Youth Hub, describing it as an important initiative for young people in the province.
The Prime Minister also acknowledged the efforts of the Ministry of Provincial Government and Institutional Strengthening, which is currently overseeing the handover of government-funded projects across parts of Western Province.
“Your engagement means the government is very much alive and will continue to deliver essential services,” Manele said.
He reassured public servants that the government remains committed to supporting ministries in delivering services to communities throughout the country.
Manele stressed that the current political issue will be handled by politicians in due course, urging public servants to stay neutral and focused on their duties.
“Let politicians deal with political issues. Your responsibility is to continue serving our people,” he said.
Manele and his delegation returned to Honiara yesterday morning after completing visits to communities that have been affected by cyclone Maila in Western and Choiseul Provinces.
