“Find out for yourself about the truth of what the people are saying”
Those are the comments made by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama at the ground breaking ceremony of the Somosomo Hydro Dam.
Bainimarama said he is very disappointed to see some people in the lead up to the general election, still being obsessed with the rights for some and not for all.
He said these people are trying to instill fear in ordinary Fijians of the major threats that do not exist.
He said we all know what they are, the supposed threat to iTaukei land, Christianity and Education Opportunities of the Itaukei.
Meanwhile, Bainimarama said the new hydro will generate 700 kilowatts of electricity that will benefit the people from Wairiki to Welagi.
He also highlighted that about 95% of the population now have access to electricity in the country.
The Somosomo Hydro Dam costs about $15 million and is funded by the Chinese government.
