RSIPF mounts operation for first meeting of the 11th Parliament

Officers of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) will mount an operation to provide security at the National Parliament for the first meeting of the 11th Parliament in Honiara tomorrow (15 May 2019).

RSIPF Assistant Commissioner (AC) for National Operations, Mostyn Mangau says,
“We expect the operation to go ahead smoothly as I do not see any trouble happening like what happened on 24 April after the election of the Prime Minister. But should anything happen, the RSIPF is ready to deal with it.”

“I appeal to our good citizens especially in Honiara to respect the rule of law and allow our Members of Parliament to continue to perform their roles as leaders of our country. Let us refrain from causing violence. Violence will only destroy our families, our communities and our country. Let us embrace peace in our hearts, in our families, in our communities and in our country,” says AC Mangau

The Police operation is in addition to the normal security at the National Parliament House for meetings of Parliament members.
