Talks of marijuana in villages show lack of leadership and guidance - PM Rabuka

Talks of marijuana in villages show lack of leadership and guidance - PM Rabuka

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka

In all places I've been, there will always be talk about marijuana, and it clearly shows the lack of leadership from village elders and guidance from parents.

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka made this comment after opening the Saulo Village Hall with new electricity supply.

Rabuka says without leadership, it can lead to dissatisfaction and disillusionment with the community.

He says he is proud to see the youths of Saulo participating in the sevusevu presentation and for him, it clearly shows how they trust in the leadership of their elders.

The Prime Minister says youths ending up on the wrong path in their life shows how they were brought up and lack of guidance and support from their family members.

Rabuka is urging all youths and leaders to work together for the future of their family and their community.
