Free Milk Program should not be abused-PM

The Prime Minister has appealed to everyone to make sure that the Free Milk Program is not abused and goes to the Year One students at the start of their school lives.

While speaking at the Milk Launch Programme at Dama District School in the Northern Division, Voreqe Bainimarama said that they intend to come down very hard on anyone who diverts these supplies elsewhere.

Bainimarama stressed that they owe it to their children as well as the Fijian taxpayers to honestly uphold the integrity of this scheme.

He added that whether it is access to better health services, better education, better roads, access to electricity, water or telecommunications, the FijiFirst government is determined that all the people of the Northern Division will have the same level of services as anyone in Viti Levu.

Bainimarama said the government will not rest until ordinary people everywhere have the same benefits as any other Fijian living in the cities and towns.
