A Solomon Islands opposition MP has called for police to investigate a number of schemes emanating from the office of the prime minister.
Alfred Sasako wants a probe of the activities of the head of the prime minister's think tank, Robert Goh, who proposed giving a Honiara law firm, called Sol-Law, half a million US dollars in what Mr Sasako says is an attempt to pervert the course of justice.
He says questions also remain about who had access to the think tank's bank account and the basis for a regular transfer.
"Payments have been made to a Chinese group in Honiara in the order of something like three hundred thousand dollars every month. Now we don't know what that money was paid for but it suddenly looked as if this Chinese group is being used as a conduit through which this money passes and it comes back again to the source."
