NFP alleges PM deviated from scripted remarks and attacked his opponents at Kadavu Provincial Council meeting

NFP Leader Professor Biman Prasad

The National Federation Party has alleged the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama clearly took advantage of the lack of legislation prohibiting all politicians especially ministers from using state resources for non-political platforms.

NFP’s Leader, Professor Biman Prasad claims that Bainimarama did this by launching a tirade against his opponents at the Kadavu Provincial Council meeting last month.

He says Bainimarama was clearly fear-mongering by saying he was taking off his leadership hat and would talk to delegates as the retired commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces.

Prasad says Bainimarama clearly deviated from his scripted remarks that were posted on the government website.

He says the Prime Minister has also proven he is still rooted to his military type of dictatorial rule by saying he was talking like a retired commander.

Prasad says the Prime Minister receives an official vehicle along with accommodation and travel allowances when he travels to these functions—all of which are being for paid by Fijian taxpayers.

The NFP Leader alleges Bainimarama used this event to stoke fear by talking about the GCC and invoking claims it caused racial division.

We have sought comments from Bainimarama. He is yet to respond.
