The office of the Speaker of Parliament says in light of the suspension of the registration of the FijiFirst Party, all 24 MPs are not entitled to take part in the proceedings of Parliament or any committee of Parliament for the duration of the suspension of the registration of the FijiFirst Party.
This follows the correspondence received from the Acting Registrar of Political Parties informing the Parliamentary Secretariat that the FijiFirst Party has been suspended with immediate effect from Wednesday, 17th May 2023.
All 24 MPs of the FijiFirst Party cannot be entitled to any pay from Parliament for the duration of the suspension.
This also means that all 24 MPs are precluded from participating in all related activities such as representing Parliament in meetings, workshops, seminars, conferences, assemblies, and so forth, for the period of suspension until the suspension of the registration is lifted.
