Tuesday morning in Honiara is th moment of motion of no confidence , whenes members of parliament enter this morning 3 members from the ruling party crossed over to the opposition side. Patterson Oti then says they have the number. Speaker dismiss parliament for 15mins. Parliament in session again after 15mins 4 more members of the ruling government crossed over making a total of 7 members. This entire event is before 10am Wednesday morning. Oti then stated that they now have the number and asked PM to humbly resign. There is a 3 mins silence from the PM . who is stunned and does not see this coming, since he made very confident sppech about the failure of the motion of no confidence yesterday…so for now the possibility of resignation of PM is looming…and there looks to be another election for a PM.
Personal comments: if you look closely at those members crossing over to the opposition they are mainly the same group who have caused the imbalance during last passed weeks PM election. These are mostly Sogavare groups. It is sad because if that group would’ve only stick to their original party the problem that we have witnessed last week in Honiara regarding violent rioting and looting would not have happened. It is clear now that to become a meneber of the parliament is becoming a commodity for power…..

The motion of no confidence this morning in parliament against the newly
coalition government has been progress as the Opposition has won the
Motion of No Confidence. The MP for Temotu Nende - Patteson Oti moved
the Motion of No Confidence as the opposition has the number of 27-20
and request the PM to resign on condition of majority. Four government
MP's has walked across to the opposition this morning. The PM announced
his resignation on the floors of parliament this morning for the
interest and progress of development in Solomon Islands. What a one
week old government in the history of SI?
No announcement of new coalition government as parliament has been
adjourned until 9.30am tomorrow morning.
I think that is all for now. Have a nice day.

Sogavare and the gain should be held responsible for the riots last week. If they had not moved out from the coalition group, we would not have experience the disaster.
The real problem of SI Politics lies between corruptions and misconductions. Australian Foreign Affairs Minister highlighted that corruption will remain a huge problem for Solomon Islands. Robert Keith Reid, a welknown pacific journalist also reiterated that "no country is free of corruption as it affects its government, and nor wil it ever be". I believed that corruption is a culture of politics where we cannot do away with it. All our leaders are subjected to corruption and none of them will bring showers of blessings for us. In many countries in the world, corruption amongst leader continued to be brought under justice and while new ones were created everyday, millions gone unaccounted for. From what is going on in the parliament, one could tell that its all about corruption.I will respect any governments for representing the voice of the people of solomon islands but I will always doubt their immunity to corruptions. Thanks to the past governments of Solomon Islands for bringing us this far, especially to the leaders, those that rule their government till the end of their term, those ousted by motion of no confidences, those ousted by Gun points and those ousted by public protest. Welkam to the world of protest, cheer up cause it will always put us to test.......
