The People’s Alliance Executive Council has today stated that they fully support the Prime Minister’s decision to dismiss Aseri Radrodro as Minister of Education, and they have also said that a written complaint received on the alleged conduct of a Senior Honourable Member be referred to the Legal and National Disciplinary Sub-Committee as provided for under Section 27.5 of the People’s Alliance Party Constitution.
The party’s General Secretary and CEO, Usaia Peter Waqatairewa has released the statement after their Executive Council meeting.
The party also says that it conforms its full support of Sitiveni Rabuka as Prime Minister of Fiji and Head of the Coalition Government.
The name of the Senior Honourable Member has not been revealed as yet.
We have sent questions to Rabuka and Waqatairewa.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Communications, Manoa Kamikamica says the People’s Alliance Executive Council meeting is confidential when asked about the written complaint received on the alleged conduct of a Senior Honourable Member of the party.
Kamikamica says the press release will probably be the extent in which he can talk about but the first item is about the support for the Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka and the second item is about the disciplinary committee hearing the complaint which is confidential to the party.
Kamikamica says whatever is in the press release will be about the official position of their statement.
He says when there is a complaint, that is only one side of the story and the complaint can be useless and have no basis.
He further says they need to respect both parties and that is why they have taken the approach and the public does not need to know everything.
The Deputy Prime Minister says when everything is finalised, the Prime Minister will make the announcement.
He says right now they need to follow due process and they need to be careful on how to deal with such issues.
