Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says if it were left to the opposition, they would develop their policies based on the consideration of ethnicity and provincialism.

He says the 2019/2020 National Budget is a well thought out budget and designed to ensure that the future of Fiji is safeguarded.

Sayed-Khaiyum says the opposition will not make the policies for the benefit of all Fijians.

Sayed-Khaiyum says the opposition go against the Standing Orders when they talk in vernacular.

Sayed-Khaiyum says the government has money and if they did not have money they would have increased taxes.

He adds that a decade of growth has only been achieved by the Bainimarama government.
