Maharaj labels the Opposition as expired politicians

Maharaj labels the Opposition as expired politicians

Assistant Minister for Employment Youth and Sports Alvick Maharaj

Assistant Minister for Employment, Youth and Sports Alvick Maharaj says the Opposition has been criticizing the budget for the past six years and have failed to realize that the FijiFirst Government continues to deliver.

While delivering his response to the 2020/2021 National Budget, Maharaj says the Opposition needs eyes to see what is around them.

He says he does not know how long it will take for this set of expired politicians to realize that they are doing no good to the parliamentary process and to the nation.

Maharaj says every year they come with a budget and every time the Opposition either opposes it or walks out which clearly shows how confused they get when they see a budget.

He says he is in support of the budget which puts the people at the centre and that the Opposition members cannot digest this budget because they always put themselves at the centre.
