FijiFirst MP Alvick Maharaj says when Members of Parliament are out, they represent Fiji and must uphold professionalism.

The MP says from 2018- 2019, through the strong and decisive leadership of former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, they engaged in international and regional development, civil society organizations and the private sector.

Maharaj says the engagement at the international level and development was possible through negotiation and the development partner's funding.

Minister for Women, Lynda Tabuya says Maharaj has made cheap comments to the government that should be withdrawn.

Maharaj says it is not his cheap comments but by one of the Ministers.

This is after a video was circulated on social media where Minister for Sugar, Charan Jeath Singh discussed issues on health, Walesi and cabinet decisions.

He adds that such issues are secret and should not be out in public.
