People’s Alliance member, Lynda Tabuya says while she respects the decision of the People’s Executive Council as a member of the party, the decision to remove her as the Deputy Leader of the party is unfair as it is based solely on allegations which have been generated by opponents from outside the party.
While responding to questions by fijivillage News, Tabuya says it is not a finding of guilt, and she is disappointed with the two lawyers in the legal and disciplinary sub committee who have based their recommendations on allegations published on social media which is aimed to weaken the Coalition and weaken the party.
Tabuya says it is a dangerous precedent to set that by applying the Constitution of the party they have based their decision to remove her as Deputy Party Leader on allegations which they perceive as potentially causing damage.
The Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection says this comes as no surprise as this very same people opposed her appointment to be Deputy Party Leader before the elections in 2022, so they have pounced on this opportunity to do so.
Tabuya says it’s most unfortunate that as a woman, she continues to be targeted with her removal last year as Leader of Government Business and now as Deputy Party Leader.
She says the party must stand for fairness and justice and applying the law equally based on evidence and facts, not allegations.
