“The 1987 coup is history just as your leader’s 2006 coup is going to be history or has become history.”
National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad stressed this in Parliament today and told government parliamentarians to talk about the future as people do not want to hear about their personal grievances and about the 1987 coup.
Prasad says people do not want to hear about Rabuka and the SVT government.
He says the Prime Minister and his party spent the whole election campaign demonizing SODELPA and attacking the NFP.
He says perhaps this won the FijiFirst the general elections but this does not make Fiji a better place as it leaves Fiji more divided.
The NFP Leader has also branded Minister for Employment, Youth and Sports Parveen Bala as a millennium mayor.
Prasad says Bala asked him if NFP had entered into a coalition arrangement with SODELPA at midnight on election night.
He says this did not happen.
Prasad says why a silly question such as this has to be asked.
Prasad then challenged FijiFirst to use this debate to tell the people what they will do for them in their last term of office.
He says they want a plan on minimum wage and a timetable to improve it because it is shameful and wrong that while the government is paying $200,000 and $300,000 in salaries and also collecting allowances and staying at fine hotels in Bonn and New York, they are leaving the poorest people in Fiji behind.
