Opposition opposes return of guns – Fono

PFNet News,

The Parliamentary Opposition is opposed to the Government’s plan to re-arm the police force.

The Opposition joins the National Council of Women and the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands to oppose the plan, saying Solomon Islanders have had enough of living under the barrel of the gun.

The Government of Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has made known its plan to re-arm the police to provide security over the Prime Minister and his Ministers. But Opposition Leader Fred Fono asks why taxpayers’ money should be spent on the security of a handful of politicians only, adding what about the security of everyone else in the country. He says it is premature to start thinking about arming the police as the memory of police officers, taking sides in the recent ethnic conflict remains fresh in people’s minds.

He says the RAMSI Police Protection Force has been assisting the Solomon Islands Police Force with both logistic and personnel support to provide security over VIPs including the Prime Minister. Mr. Fono believes the same arrangement could be made to ensure the security of Cabinet Ministers, adding the arrangement is adequate for the time-being.Under the arrangement, requests have to be put to the Commissioner of Police who is responsible for the protection and security of VIPs.

Mr. Fono urges parliamentarians, both on the ruling side and the Opposition, the churches, non-governmental organisations and the public at large to reject the government’s plan to re-arm the police force.

Meanwhile, the Opposition Leader acknowledges the commendable and tangible improvements being achieved by members of the Solomon Islands Police Force since RAMSI began a re-strengthening program of the force in 2003.
