National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad was told to withdraw his comments after he made some allegations against the FijiFirst Government when the Minister for Economy and Attorney General delivered his Ministerial speech during the Parliament session today.
Minister for Economy and Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum told Parliament that the under the Help for Home Initiative those companies who did not deliver materials on time will pay a certain amount of interest.
Prasad said that government should have done the independent investigation on how millions of tax dollars were used in the initiative.
He said that the damage has been done where many homes and families may have actually moved from where they were living because they did not get the materials.
Prasad claimed that the initiative was his idea where he suggested that each family affected should have been given a direct grant of $5,000.
He said this would have been more efficient and there would have been no alleged mismanagement.
While Prasad was making these allegations, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum asked him to prove his statement.
Prasad was then asked by the Speaker to withdraw his comments.
