National Federation Party Leader, Professor Biman Prasad walked out of an interview on Radio Tarana in Auckland after he said that he was harassed and unfairly treated in the interview.

When the presenter had asked Professor Prasad to explain changes that he plans to bring in through policies, the NFP Leader said economy, health and education and any other sector in Fiji are not doing well.

Prasad said that this is under the Bainimarama and FijiFirst led government over the last 15 years.

The NFP Leader then said that they will tell the people before the elections what they will do when they form government.

Prasad said they will focus on good governance and true democracy and Fiji’s regional and international reputation but the details will be revealed later.

When asked on the solutions to fix the economy, Professor Biman Prasad told the Radio Tarana presenter to tell the people about the current situation in Fiji.

When asked on what is the solution, Prasad again said the presenter has to explain what is the situation.

Prasad said before COVID-19, there was negative economic growth for Fiji and COVID took the economy further down. He said countries like New Zealand and Australia came forward to provide budget support.

When asked what is his plan, Prasad told the presenter she was not listening to him.

He then said he will talk about the situation and then give the plan.

When the presenter asked again what is his plan for those people who want to vote for him, Prasad said the campaign has not started as yet.

Professor Prasad then said the Radio Tarana presenter should ask him questions respectfully or he will end the interview.

When the presenter asked what is in the NFP manifesto and when will it come out, Prasad said the presenter had first said that the election is yet to be held and the manifestos are yet to done.

He asked whether any other party has come out with the manifesto and then walked out of the interview, saying he is ending the interview and the presenter is talking nonsense.

When questioned by fijivillage on why he walked out of the interview, Professor Prasad claims it was a plan to discredit him.

We are currently trying to speak to Radio Tarana.
