Gavoka slams contents of National Budget and calls it a ludicrous budget

SODELPA MP Viliame Gavoka.

SODELPA MP Viliame Gavoka has slammed the contents of the 2017-2018 National budget and called it a ludicrous budget saying it would not have existed years ago if SDL continued on.

While speaking during the 2017/2018 National Budget debate, Gavoka says a SODELPA government will bring back the Qoliqoli Bill.

Gavoka also says that Fiji has enough locals with the ability to carry out the works that expatiates continue to fill in the tourism industry.

Gavoka says the people of Fiji have realised that time has run out for the FijiFirst to shape up, but they will now have to ship out.
