SODELPA MP, Adi Litia Qionibaravi says she pleads with the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama to withdraw the Bill to amend the iTaukei Land Trust Act.

While opposing the 2021/2022 National Budget, Adi Litia says consultation on the Bill needs to take place.

Meanwhile Adi Litia says Fiji’s economy must now prioritize a move to the agriculture and infrastructure sectors.

She says the agriculture sector includes substantial subsistence sectors mainly dominated by indigenous people who earn their livelihoods from various cash crops such as planting dalo, cassava, yaqona, pineapples and also fishing.

Adi Litia also says major disruptions to trade flows as well as a downturn in the economy has put an enormous strain on public finances.

She says they all accept that Fiji is in a precarious situation.

Adi Litia adds that Government also has a duty of care to its employees and this extends to implementing infection control, education, sufficient testing to ensure frontliners are not positive of COVID-19 and the provision of adequate personal protective equipment.
