The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force in the Western Province have called for calm during celebrations to mark the 34th anniversary of the Province’s 2nd Appointed Day which will be held 7 December 2017 at Bekabeka, Gatokae Island, in the Marovo Lagoon.
It is anticipated that important guests representing the National and Provincial Governments will attend the celebrations. Police will mount a parade and the RSIPF Brass Band will be performing during the celebrations.
“Police will provide high visibility presence during the celebrations at Bekabeka to ensure peace and freedom is maintained. I call on the public at Bekabeka and surrounding communities to remain calm and celebrate the event in a peaceful manner as school children, elderly people and important guests will be attending the celebration,” says Provincial Police Commander, Western Province, Mathias Lenialu.
PPC Lenialu adds: “Police will employ zero tolerance should any one break the law. But we will work together with the organizing committee and the community to ensure guests and the local people will enjoy the 2nd Appointed Day anniversary celebrations.
