“His service as a Member of Parliament and as Governor-General will be remembered with respect and gratitude. The late Sir Nathaniel was also a distinguished permanent secretary and held various other roles in the civil service. At this time of sorrow, our thoughts and prayers are with his family, relatives, friends and all those who mourn his passing.”
The Prime Minister acknowledged Sir Nathaniel’s contribution to Solomon Islands and expressed appreciation for his years of dedicated public service.
