Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has urged the leaders and the people of Kadavu to inform the government if a budgeted project has not started as yet because he has been informed by the Ministry for Finance that the funds are still left for provincial development.

While opening the 2-day Kadavu Provincial Council meeting at Suva Civic Centre, Rabuka apologized to the people of Kadavu that some of the Government Ministries are facing challenges in the disbursement of funds to complete some ongoing projects that are supposed to be completed this financial year.

He says he had talks with the Ministry for Finance a few weeks ago, who told him that there are still a lot of funds left.

The Prime Minister also called on the people of Kadavu to fully utilize the resources around them because one thing they see is that landowners are not fully making use of their God-given resources.

Rabuka adds the main connection between the government and the Vanua is the utilization of resources.

The Prime Minister also highlighted the need to ensure that each province is setting up businesses, not only for development purposes nowadays but for the security of the next generation.

Rabuka also urges the Kadavu people and district reps to take advantage of the initiatives announced within the national budget, such as the pine subsidy.

Talking about the drug issues affecting the country, Rabuka highlighted the need for the people to work hand in hand with the government.

He says this week is an important week as the nation is creating awareness of the deadly impact of drugs on people's lives.

He adds through family support and God's help, a drug-addicted person can be saved.
