Prime Minister Voqere Bainimarama says government is uniquely able to honor hard-working Fijians by giving them the opportunity to work and earn their living.

Bainimarama highlighted this while officiating at the opening of the new Lami Fire Station.

He says when we emerge from the current emergency, we will not have lost a year to indecision and hand-wringing but will be enjoying the fruits of thoughtful strategic investment in the future.

Bainimarama says across the country, there are construction projects that are ready to begin with approvals been sought and every box has been ticked and saved for the ground-breaking.

He says pressing forward with its construction of the new Nakasi Police Station, 200 jobs were created in the last two years, allowing those Fijians to earn a living.

Bainimarama says government shows respect by asking hard-working Fijians to devote their skills to projects that serve the public well into the future.

He says the government pays them wages that they use to buy the things they need for daily living, which gives income to others.
