Assistant Minister for Employment and Youth and Sports and Government Whip Alvick Maharaj

“When I see the other side I see a leader who did not have any vision for Fiji back in 1987 and shot a gun in this August House in which he sits today, showing disrespect to the highest office of the land.”

These are the words of the Assistant Minister for Employment and Youth and Sports and Government Whip Alvick Maharaj who has called out to the SODELPA Leader Sitiveni Rabuka as someone who totally shattered the economy of the country and ruined Fiji.

He made a comparison of the Opposition Leader to the Prime Minister while his speech in parliament earlier today.

Maharaj has also said that he sees a member on the opposition side of the parliament who as the TLTB Manager went house to house asking landlords not to renew their land leases which created chaos in the sugar industry.

The Assistant Minister for Employment also spoke about women empowerment in parliament and has called out the opposition as non-believers of women empowerment.

Maharaj further says that FijiFirst has been a party of action and not words.
