Only ri-Majol in top jobs?
Note raises concern about EPPSO
Top-level government positions held by non-Marshallese are being targeted as the government aims to ensure only Marshallese hold such positions.
“The aim of the government is to ensure that all top level government posts are filled by Marshallese,” said Minister in Assistance Ruben Zackhras responding to a request by Jabot Senator Kessai Note on the status of the director’s post for the Economic Policy, Planning and Statistics Office, which has been held by Carl Hacker since its establishment.
Note said as leaders, some of the information gathered and received from EPPSO “may not be good news,” but he added, “It is true.”
Alluding to plans to replace current EPPSO Director, Note said if the government is planning to make changes, it needs to ensure that the po ... :: Read more |

Admiral Walsh visits Majuro
February 04, 2010
Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands – During a two hour stop over in Majuro en route to Hawaii, Admiral Patrick Walsh, the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet along with U.S. Ambassador Martha Campbell paid a courtesy visit with Minister in Assistance Ruben Zackhras and Foreign Minister John Silk at the airport VIP lounge on Saturday, January 30, 2010.
Minister Silk discussed the possibility of increasing visits of the U.S. Pacific Fleet to the Republic of the Marshall Islands, stating that these visits are mutually beneficial given the opportunity for cultural exchanges, R&R for the sailors/soldiers, and the economic spin-off for the RMI. Minister Silk went on to discuss the Military Build-up in Guam, requesting that the Freely Associated States be given priority for jobs at an equal level with US citizens.

RMI supports Copenhagen Accord on Climate Change but Demands
a Legal Treaty
RMI sets example by offering its own emissions cuts
29 January 2010
(Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands) – RMI has conveyed its political support for the Copenhagen Accord, the rushed and controversial political agreement offered at last December’s global climate negotiations in Denmark.
But RMI, which faces the risk of losing its statehood to rising seas, also linked its support to a demand for progress this year towards the adoption of a legally-binding treaty of sufficient ambition to ensure the survival of the most vulnerable nations.
The Accord was brokered on the last night of the climate negotiations with a group of 28 global leaders, including the Prime Minister of Grenada, Chair of the Alliance of Small Island States, and ... :: Read more |

Copra production in Marshall Islands at lowest since 50s
Statistics issued by the Marshall Islands government copra processing plant has shown the first decade of the 2000s produced the lowest level of copra since the 1950s.
2000 to 2009 saw over 50-thousand tons of copra milled at the Tobolar Copra Processing Plant.
Without improved shipping service from 2006-2009, the decade just passed would have seen an all-time copra low.
Shipping is the key to the copra industry in the country, since 95 percent of the production comes from remote islands scattered over 800 thousand square kilometres of ocean area.
The government’s planning chief, Carl Hacker, says outer islanders list shipping as one of their top concerns.
He says shipping directly relates to their ability to get copra to market so they can generate a few dollars for their families.
“Copra is really a ... :: Read more |

Court rejects Note’s appeal
The High Court has rejected former Kili Mayor Eldon Note’s petition seeking a court order for a special election to fill the seat vacated by the death of Mayor Kataejar Jibas. On Friday, High Court Judge James Plasman issued his ruling in the case that was filed in late 2008.
“The court holds that a special election to fill a vacancy in the office of the Mayor is not mandated by the Constitution of the Kili/Bikini Local Government, absent a determination by the Council to hold such election,” he said in the ruling rejecting Note’s petition.
The Council last year voted to follow a provision that allowed it to appoint a mayor to fill the vacancy. The Council named Councilman Alson Kelen, who had been acting mayor since Jibas’ death, as the Mayor, and also agreed to put the issue up for a vote at the next election to clarify the constitution’s muddled provision ... :: Read more |

With financial assistance and support of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner from Human Rights, the Pacific Regional Rights Resource Team and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, a Government and Non Governmental Organization Forum/Training on the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is scheduled to be held in Majuro on 1-5 February 2010 at the International Conference Center.
The UPR is an opportunity for countries to focus on challenges each faces, and in the case of the Pacific Islands, the threat of climate change and sea level rise, achievements made, as well as areas of support still needed in the area of human rights.
This week-long event will bring together policy makers, advisers, experts and representatives of the most vulnerable group (women, children and the elderly) to discuss the principles, obj ... :: Read more |

Staring: Lyel Tarkwon, Netha Gideon, Martha Horiuchi, Nica Wase, Jefferson Paulis and Billma Melson
The creators of the film Ña Noniep are back with a film that explores the yokwe spirit of the Marshallese culture and people. “Yokwe Bartowe” — which translates loosely as “Poor Bartowe,” the lead character in the story — opens for the public next Friday at K&K Theaters.
Yokwe Bartowe is the story of a young girl named Lijiamao who is kidnapped by an evil demon bird. The ancient legend of the ‘kwolej’ bird dictates that its main mission in life is to create sorrow and misfortune in the world.

Hawaii lab signs up to do flu tests for Pacific islands
PEARL CITY — The Hawai'i State Laboratory will test up to 4,800 suspected flu specimens from six Pacific island nations and territories as part of a one-year contract from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of Public Health Laboratories.
Under the $471,000 contract that went into effect in November, suspected flu specimens from Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Sāmoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau are being sent to Tokyo, Melbourne and the U.S. Mainland, said Michael Epp, executive director of the Pacific Island Health Officers Association.
Each set of islands had its own system for getting specimens tested, Epp said yesterday at a news conference announcing the contract.
