Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka says he has the right to remain silent after questions were asked regarding receiving a $150,000-plus gold Rolex watch from a local businessman.
Rabuka says those making the allegations must provide proof.
He also addressed concerns about his health and fitness for office which was raised by the media, assuring the public that despite using a walking stick today, he remains well and fit to lead.
Rabuka says with two titanium knees and previously broken collarbones, he does not need to run 100 metres in 11 seconds to be Prime Minister.
He adds that the allegations are simply a distraction from the important issues he is focused on.
