Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama

“We need to put money into the pockets of Fijians now.”

This was highlighted by the Prime Minister while giving his response to the COVID-19 Response Supplementary Budget.

Bainimarama says there is also a need to extend a lifeline to Fijian businesses and a need to get more life saving supplies for doctors and nurses to test for the virus.

He says that he does not think some sitting in the chambers realise what is happening around the world right now and just how bad things are going to get.

Bainimarama say that he knows the Fijian people shared his frustration last night listening to the tedious back and forth delaying hearing what the budget contained and the support it provides.
