Minister for Commerce, Faiyaz Koya says Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama is not sitting idly by as claimed by SODELPA Leader, Viliame Gavoka.

While supporting the motion for a government guarantee of a $170 million loan for the Fiji Development Bank, Koya says the Prime Minister has had conversations with many people around the world with respect to what can be done and what cannot be done during the COVID-19 crisis.

Koya says Gavoka and other opposition parliamentarians should not be insinuating that the Prime Minister is doing nothing.

He says the country went 365 days free of COVID on a perfectly good template and they are working on what they can do for the people of Fiji.

Koya says this is a combined effort by the whole of government.

He also says the FDB’s presence in the economy is crucial.

Koya says FDB’s mandate is to focus on inclusive and sustainable growth for all Fijians.
