Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad

Navua Hospital is a major disaster in terms of the construction, we were just told yesterday that it did not have a completion certificate.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad made these comments earlier today at the Dialogue on the Fijian Economic Summit at Holiday Inn regarding the Health infrastructure.

Professor Prasad says there are major electrical faults at the hospital and it was not done according to standard.

He also says they have asked the Ministry of Health and Energy Fiji Limited to put together a report on this.

When questioned by fijivillage News about how it was operational without a completion certificate, the Deputy Prime Minister says he does not know, as this is something that the Opposition Leader Inia Seruiratu and the previous government should be answering.

Professor Prasad adds to also tell the Leader of Opposition that this budget will set the foundation to take Fiji out of the mess that the FijiFirst government created.
