SODELPA Leader Sitiveni Rabuka

SODELPA leader Sitiveni Rabuka says if there is an announcement of an increase in the national minimum wage rate for unestablished workers in the National Budget, it will bring joy to the nation.

Rabuka believes that the government will increase the minimum wage rate.

He says that as SODELPA leader, he will look forward to see how the different taxes will be implemented and where the government will be getting their revenue from.

He adds that he will be interested to know the expenditure allocations of government as he is not fully versed with the allocations and implementation of the current budget.
