Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka speaking to members of the media outside Suvavou House earlier today

Cabinet Ministers are not allowed to receive gifts, they have to declare them.

During his national address today Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka says there used to be a general guideline on the value of the gifts, and consumable ones needed to be gotten rid of very quickly especially those that will go bad if kept.

Rabuka further says there are some high valued ones and they have to be very careful of those, and they are not personal, and must stay in the government and be used by government when declared.

When questioned on the breaches in ministerial guidelines on usage of information for personal gain, Rabuka said he will use the media.
