douglas ete

douglas ete , born 4 august 1964 , is a solomon islands politician .
after studying at the university of the south pacific and at massey university -lrb- new zealand -rrb- , he worked as chief executive officer at the national referral hospital in solomon islands .
his career in national politics began when he was elected to parliament as the member for east honiara in the 4 august 2010 general election , standing for the reformed democratic party .
he was then appointed minister of public service in prime minister danny philip 's cabinet .
a cabinet reshuffle on 8 december 2010 , after the sacking of two ministers , saw ete promoted minister of forestry .
on 20 january 2011 , ete resigned from cabinet , citing dissatisfaction with the cabinet being `` manipulated by one or two people '' , and joined steve abana 's opposition .
a few days later , he claimed to have been shot at in honiara , at night , along with bodo dettke -lrb- a fellow mp who had also left the government -rrb- and said he had been `` targeted for having left the government '' .
the police investigated the incident , but stated ete and dettke had not been present at the scene of the shooting , and had therefore not been shot at .
the police then released a media statement describing dettke and ete 's claim as `` incorrect and misleading '' .
on 15 december 2014 , following a general election , ete was appointed deputy prime minister and minister for home affairs by new prime minister manasseh sogavare .
