Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says he has met with two of his cabinet Ministers who have assured him that there is no truth in the allegations on various social media platforms that they are having an extra-marital affair.
In a tweet with photos of Minister for Education, Aseri Radrodro and Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, Lynda Tabuya, the Prime Minister says he is satisfied with the response from both Ministers and he has urged them to focus on their official duties to serve the nation.
The Prime Minister says cabinet is bound by a Code of Conduct and Ministers undertake under oath administered under the Constitution of the Republic of Fiji to their carry out their duties diligently and without fear or favour.
Rabuka also stresses that he is satisfied with their response and urges the nation to focus on the task at hand, rather than scurrilous and unproductive speculation on social media.
He says social media has a positive purpose in aiding communications, aiding cooperation between citizens, corporate bodies, NGOs and the international community and he urges responsible use of this form of communication.
Rabuka says he trusts this will end the speculation and that we will all focus on building up each other and the nation rather than tearing each other down.
fijivillage News has also been told that this was the work of some rumour mongers and mischief makers to destabilise the cabinet.
