National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad says an old friend of the government Graham Davis has said that the FijiFirst caucus is divided and they don't even talk to each other while the Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says he is not going to comment on Davis’ credibility and integrity.

While contributing to SODELPA MP Viliame Gavoka’s motion to convene a National Economic Summit to determine the way forward for the economy, Prasad says the government can never work with the opposition because they as a party don't even talk to each other.

He says Davis even said that they are ethically divided, which is shameful.

Sayed-Khaiyum says when somebody starts quoting some disgruntled ex-employee of some other organisation and using that as a political platform, that person has become very desperate.

Prasad also says the opposition had offered to work with the government during the COVID-19 Response Budget and he himself attended a few economic summits organised by the then interim government before 2014.

Responding to the NFP Leader, Sayed-Khaiyum says they had several budget consultations across the country.
