Bradley Tovosia

Bradley Tovosia (born 10 April 1967 in Sukiki Village, Guadalcanal ) is a Solomon Islands politician who has held several cabinet posts. In 2024, he was Minister of Mines, Energy, and Rural Electrification.

He studied at Betikama College up to Form 5. On 22 January, in a Cabinet reshuffle prompted by the resignation of several ministers, Tovosia was promoted to the position of Minister for Forestry. When Gordon Darcy Lilo replaced Philip as Prime Minister in November 2011, Tovosia was reshuffled to the Fisheries portfolio. On or around 1 March 2012, Tovosia was reshuffled again, becoming Minister for Public Service, exchanging his portfolio with Alfred Ghiro. On 22 October, Tovosia was reshuffled to the position of Minister for the Environment, replacing John Moffat Fugui who had left the government.

Tovosia had ultimate authority over the project to construct the Kongulai Water Treatment Plant. The project failed after it was granted to its lowest bidder, a joint Indian venture. The joint Indian venture in turn hired a company employed by Tovosia's son to carry out tasks related to the project.
