Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka and Leader of the Opposition, Voreqe Bainimarama

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says Leader of Opposition Voreqe Bainimarama will be provided with all the necessary support and budget to properly carry out the functions of that Office.

Rabuka says he should also be given Government quarters unlike previous holders of that Office.

He highlighted this during a brief meeting with the Speaker of Parliament, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu and Executive Management of the Fijian Parliament following a traditional welcoming of the Prime Minister to the Fijian Parliament.

The Prime Minister also stressed that such support to the Opposition Leader should address some of the difficulties that he and the Speaker faced when they were Opposition Leaders in the previous Parliament.
