Leader of Opposition Ro Teimumu Kepa says they are deeply saddened by the passing of a true and proud son of Fiji, Ratu Jone Kubuabola. 

He was a distinguished civil servant who rose to serve as the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji and then entered politics to serve as the Minister of Finance and National Planning from 2000 to 2006.

In a statement this afternoon, Ro Teimumu Kepa says as a former  parliamentary and cabinet colleague, Ratu Jone Kubuabola will always be known for his wit, wisdom and expertise in economics. 

She says though a cool and soft spoken personality, Ratu Jone was steadfast with his ideals and principles and committed to the cause of indigenous rights, social justice and democracy.
