Career

Legal career

Kabui was born on 20 April 1946.[1][2] He is a former High Court judge and Attorney General.[3] He was twice elected President of the Solomon Islands Bar Association, the second time in 2007 to succeed Ranjit Hewagama.[4] He was the first law graduate from the Solomon Islands, graduating from the University of Papua New Guinea in 1975.[5] Kabui also served as Chairman of the Law Reform Commission.

Political career

2009 nomination

Kabui was nominated by the National Parliament to become Governor General after the fourth round with thirty votes. The Chairman of the Public Service Commission, Edmund Andresen, received eight votes while Kabui's predecessor, Nathaniel Waena, received seven. Three members were not present.[6] The list of candidates also included former Prime Minister and current Speaker of Parliament Peter Kenilorea and five other candidates.[7] Following the completion of this nomination process in Parliament, the formal appointment as Governor-General was then issued by Elizabeth II, Queen of the Solomon Islands. Kabui will serve for a five-year term.[8] His election came as the country celebrated thirty-one years of independence.[8]

Kabui attended a ceremony at the Lawson Tama Stadium on 7 July 2009, where several thousand people saw him take his oath.[8] He inspected a guard of honour by the Royal Solomon Islands Police and received the royal salute during a parade.[8]

On 8 July 2009 in Honiara, Kabui presented an award to athlete Jim Marau, who was Solomon Islands first South Pacific Games gold medallist, achieving this feat in 1975.[12] Marau was awarded during the Independence Celebration in Lawson Tama.[9]

On 9 October 2009, Kabui was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George.[10]
