PM speaks to Sugar Minister on Walesi outburst

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka and Attorney General, Siromi Turaga met with Minister for Sugar, Charan Jeath Singh in relation to Singh’s comments on Walesi in a meeting in New Zealand last week.

There were concerns that Singh had spoken about information from a cabinet discussion on Walesi and attacked the Chair of Walesi, Robert Khan.

In that discussion, Singh had also said that the amount spent by Walesi was around $123 million.
