PM Philip has been called upon to remove the Finance minister and the Aid and planning minister.

The planned peaceful protest march by the Malaita Ma’asina Forum (MMF) to the Prime Minister will be staged on tomorrow.

This was confirmed by the MMF General Secretary William Gua yesterday.It should start at 9.30am from Art Gallery to the Prime Minister Office.

The protest march is part of a move, calling on the Prime Minister (PM) to remove his two senior Government Ministers, Minister of Finance and Treasury Gordon Darcy Lilo and Minister of planning and Aid Coordination Snyder Rini

“The protest aims to show a formal protest to remove the two ministers immediately from the post,” Mr Gua said.

Mr Gua added their second demand is for the Prime Minister to remove the two advisors within the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force Executive (RSIPF).

MFF had given Prime Minister Philip up until 12 midday today to address the issues that we want.

He added they will make a move to prevent Prime Minister from leaving the country on Tuesday morning until their demands are met.

Mr Gua told The Solomon Star yesterday that they finally decide to hold the protest on Tuesday to speed up things and not to wait any longer.

He said the protest will be led by the MMF leaders and people who supported the idea to remove the two ministers from their current post.

Mr Gua said the protest will be called off if the two ministers and the RSIPF advisors are removed immediately.

“We will not protest if Prime Minister Danny Phillip removes the two ministers and the Police advisors. If not then the protest will continue as plan,” Mr Gua said.

“MMF cannot allow this nation to be governed by certain group of people”.

Mr Gua said if the PM fails to address the issues then he should might as well resign.

He said a notice had been issued to the police and Honiara City Council on 13 of March this year.
