Rabuka apologizes and says he will address the nation in the near future

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka has today apologized deeply to the people of Fiji, that the Coalition Government fell short over the past week.

In a post on his official page, Rabuka says he acknowledges that the past week has been a test of their collective resolve as a Coalition, stemming from the determination of Parliamentary Emoluments on 24th May 2024.

Rabuka says he humbly admits that this matter could have been better handled, with more wisdom as is expected of elected representatives.

He says he would like to assure the nation that they are listening to you and working together to address concerns raised.

Rabuka says he will be addressing the nation sometime in the near future on the best way forward in addressing issues raised.

He adds after having a discussion this morning with the Coalition Partner Leaders, they agree that they take full responsibility and reinforce their pledge to upholding the Coalition Agreement of December 2022.

Rabuka says as a grandfather and father, he knows that in every family, misunderstandings and differences of opinion can arise, but at the end of the day, family remains family.

The Prime Minister says the Coalition Government is no different, and all they need to do better is to find and make time to have better dialogue and the space for understanding and compromises.

He says the people of Fiji expect no less.
