Maenu’u says his return may not be easy

SIBConline news,

THE former head of the Land Reform Unit says he will only resume duties if the government and administration sort out their differences. Leonard Maenu’u resigned as head of the Land Reform Unit late last year after the Opposition criticised the government in parliament over the process of his recruitment.

However, last month the Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, Minister of Lands Rev. Leslie Boseto and Minister of Public Service Joses Sanga refused to accept his resignation. Instead they strongly recommended him to remain in the unit stating that "any replacement will disturb the current approach on land reform throughout the country".

But Mr Maenu'u yesterday said what was stated is the political government’s perspective and did not represent the administration perspective. He said both the government and administration section within the departments of lands and public service must compromise first before he could be able to return because what he experienced during his time in the office did not reflect this.

"Since my arrival in Lands Department I was personally harassed and isolated by the administration, by the forces which have been well-established to control things here. And the permanent secretaries of department of lands and department of public services are collaborating with these forces.

"I have briefly made mention of these in my letter of 11 December 2006, the same have been a subject highlighted in the auditor general’s report to parliament.

"I have become a victim of rivalry between the government and the administration, an experience which I don’t really wish to undergo again," Mr Maenu’u stated.

He said political government or politicians may make policies but it is the administrative arm or administrators who implement these policy decisions. "That is what I mean. If the administrators do not agree, they may refuse to implement such government policy," Mr Maenu’u said.

A part from this, Mr Maenu’u also highlighted that for him to resume duties would mean signing a new contract with the government. "My contract with the government is such that I can terminate it after six months and that’s what I did.

"In other words I have terminated my contract with the government which is not contingent of acceptance from the government.“Unless the political government and administration are able to sort out their differences and act together, my returning to service may not be that simple.

"This would require a new contract which will need to be properly constructed than that which I have terminated," he said.

Mr Maenu’u has already conducted seminars in Malaita and Western provinces last year.Premiers and leaders in those provinces have widely supported efforts to land reform in view of the current surge in land disputes across the country.
