Solomon Islands opposition leader Matthew Wale has accused Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare of using money from China to prop up his political strength:

Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare faces a motion of no confidence after anti-government riots saw dozens of buildings burned down and shops looted in the Pacific island's capital.

Church leaders called for dialogue between the nation's most populous province, Malaita, and the national government to resolve a range of domestic issues amid wider geopolitical tensions. A Government Gazette notice dated 2 December shows money was withdrawn from the National Provident Fund in the name of 22 politicians in recent days, prompting the accusation from the opposition.

"The Prime Minister is dependent on the NDF [National Development Fund] money to maintain his political strength. How can he make decisions only in the interests of the Solomon Islands?" Mr Wale said.
