Allan Kemakeza

Further controversy surfaced when he received SI$850,000 as part of a program compensating individuals who lost property during the Civil War.

[citation needed] An Australian-led peace-keeping force named RAMSI (Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands) is in place, based in Honiara.

At the end of the parliamentary term in December 2005, Parliament was dissolved and Kemakeza and his Cabinet served in a caretaker capacity[5] until the next election, which was held on 5 April 2006.

His term as prime minister was to end on 19 April, but he remained in office until the following day because of riots over Rini's controversial election.

The raid was allegedly an attempt to drive the firm's Australian lawyers, who Kemakeza thought held too much influence over national financial institutions, out of Solomon Islands.

[7] In December, Kemakeza, having previously been neutral, backed the opposition led by Fred Fono; soon afterward, Sogavare's government was defeated in a no-confidence vote.

Two other former MPs, who had likewise lost their seat in the 2010 election, Francis Billy Hilly and Fred Fono, also stood for the job of Speaker.
