We promised you that we would restore freedom, but the work of transforming our nation for the better is an ongoing challenge that we are determined to fulfill.

This has been highlighted by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka in his State of the Nation address ahead of the 2022-2023 National Budget announcement this Friday.

Rabuka says the coalition government is determined to be defined by three words: freedom, unity and progress in rebuilding Fiji together.

The Prime Minister says their hope and collective effort have helped attain freedom.

He says last month, the Coalition partners assessed their progress as a Government and the implementation of the Coalition Agreement.

The Prime Minister says they have all been assured after that meeting, that this is a government determined and committed to serve the people, as they had promised.

Rabuka says he is confident, that together, they will deliver their commitments to the people of Fiji.

He adds after sixteen years, our new-found freedom has made us impatiently optimistic about the challenges and opportunities before us.
