Solomon Islands Police Commissioner Jahir Khan says returning to his home land Fiji for holidays just prior to the vote-of-no-confidence isn't an issue. Commissiner Khan was criticised for leaving Solomon Islands just before the confidence motion in prime minister Manasseh Sogavare was to be debated. The last change of leadership in 2006 resulted in riots and China town being wiped out by fire. Mr Khan says contingency plans were in place in the event of trouble in Honiara.
