The appointment of the country’s President is crucial and the nomination should reflect the expectations of the public.

This has been highlighted by the President of the Fiji Council of Social Services, Sepesa Rasili, when expressing his thoughts on the appointment of the President of Fiji.

Rasili says as the President is a symbol of unity and the nomination for the high office must be approached by broad consultation that takes into account the diversity and aspirations of all Fijians.

He says ultimately the Prime Minister's nomination must demonstrate that it has been made in the best interest of the nation.

He says the voices of the people in this regard is paramount and the responsibilities attached to this role is important.

Rasili acknowledged the work of the outgoing and current President of the country Ratu Wiliame Katonivere in rendering his service to the country.

He reiterates his exceptional diplomacy, particularly during the transitional period following the handover of power in late 2022.
