“NFP has made a joke of itself and of its continued boycott of parliament.”
Local Government and Infrastructure Minister Parveen Bala made this comment today while responding to the President’s speech.
Bala reminded the NFP parliamentarians that action takes place in Parliament and not in pocket meetings.
He went on to say that it is unfortunate that the actions of the NFP and its leadership shows only demise from its once great leadership and membership.
He also made comments regarding SODELPA parliamentarians who he claims were not sure whether to boycott the President’s speech in parliament.
Meanwhile, Bala later highlighted in his speech that in the last six months, eleven new rural electrification grid extension projects have been completed and commissioned.
He says this year’s allocation has already seen the mobilization of electrical contractors to wire over 1,300 rural homes for connection to the new and existing power lines in Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.
