The Minister for Economy and Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has called out Opposition MP Mosese Bulitavu to stop trying to score cheap political points while clarifying the operation matters with regards to the upgrade and extension of Rotuma Hospital. 

Bulitavu questioned the progress of the works of the upgrade and extension of the Rotuma Hospital with the same allocation of $2m from last year.

In response, Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says that no construction company was willing to go to Rotuma to work on the upgrade and extension of the Rotuma Hospital.

He says the RFMF is working on the Rotuma Hospital.

SODELPA MP Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu then raised the question on why the Attorney General was responding to matters that were directed to the Minister for Health.

Sayed-Khaiyum said that Ratu Naiqama should stop making personal comments.
