Congratulations to David Dennis I believe it is. He's got it going good.
The situation in the Solomons is one point for consideration. People can only excel when they have the satisfactory reward for the tasks they do.. and with the appropriate currency I might add. Many a dreams have fallen short and aspirations turned into mere disillusionation after a stint on any job in the Solomons.. that is unless the salary .. and of course the currency the salary is paid in.. is something other than the SBD.
Try our locals. Have them paid in USD or AUD, and see what we are capable of becoming.
Currently.. we are only struggling men trying to survive in a cruel world and with each passing time, hopes gets dashed and direction and initiative gets clouded by the constant daily struggle to survive and a loathing of the very obvious failure of a system that is supposed to be making us Men and Women of Pride.

just look at SIG employees half day at work  and the other worktime are spend at either casino, betelnut stall, scouting for favors to find extra $ to feed his family & kinship and meet other resposibilities.
at the end half work done.

On a common currency scale, Solomons is cheaper than most first world countries. The problem at hand is the ratio of the cost of these apparently cheaper goods against the fortnightly income. A bag of rice means an arm and a leg in the Solomons. Any thing else, means trasis bae lus na yia.
 
Thinking about it, a drastic move in a positive direction would be to provide a salary that can sustain workers till the next fortnight. Something that will make the above mentioned ratio. This means dispossable income, lack of debt and overall a good financial standing per individual. I believe having come through all these struggles have taught Solomon Islanders the lesson that will enable them to put their disposable income into business ventures. Imagine that, a country of business men and of good standing.
How this salary raise will impact our employers, I don't know. Any economists out there.. give us your thoughts.

Well, there has been no improvement in answering emails. I have had no reply to leaving enquiries on the website, and it has been really hard to get the loans officer to answer my questions by email. This is a really important aspect of service in Solo when so many people are distributed all over the place. Pick up your modern busness practices ANZ!!!!

True Nick,
That is the same for a lot of local organizations. The thing is that some one gets such a brain wave, implements it and once implemented does not get updated. Only the webmaster updates the pages and even the employees themselves generally have no idea what is on the pages.
No one owns the problem.
I've come across this every where in the Solomons.. it is an opportunity for marketing that is an afterthought..
