A Housing Relocation Committee member in Solomon Islands' Gizo, says MP, Gordon Darcey Lilo, is withholding funds earmarked for the 2004 tsunami victims.
It's estimated that eighty percent, or about 3000 tsunami victims in Gizo are still sleeping in tents.
Some have received help from international organisations.
The government has earmarked over two million US dollars for the victims but it hasn't reached the people in Gizo yet.
The Committee's Danny Kennedy says Mr Lilo has received the money from the national government, but is not releasing the funds.
"Gordon Darcey Lilo, he has the money and is sitting on it. But he hasn't agreed with the committee and on the decisions that have been made and it seems like there just seems to be a constant hurdle. Every time the committe makes a decision and the papers are finalised then there's another issue that crops up."
Mr Lilo has rejected Mr Kennedy claims.
He says the money has still not been released by the government in Honiara
It's still sitting in the treasury of Solomon Islands. The two main reasons are that there are some who have received money from NGO's for housing funding assistance and they have already built their houses yet they also want to have assistance provided by the government. There're people from other islands, just for the benefit of money made available for building houses, they just came in and put their names in. These are false claims.
Gordon Darcy Lilo says he hopes the funds will be released soon.
