Minister for Education, Aseri Radrodro has been dismissed from cabinet.
Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says Radrodro has been dismissed from Monday for insubordination and disobedience to his directive.
Rabuka has informed President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere and Speaker of Parliament, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu of his decision.
He says with effect from Monday, SODELPA Leader, Viliame Gavoka will assume the portfolio as Minister for Education in addition to his responsibilities for Tourism and Civil Aviation.
SODELPA General Secretary, Viliame Takayawa Junior says they only found out about Radrodro's dismissal when it was uploaded on the Fiji Government facebook page.
He says even Radrodro did not know about the dismissal until the post was put up.
Takayawa says they have been trying to get meetings and get clarifications with the other coalition partners for over 5 months.
He says if they knew about these insubordination or disobedience issues, they could have helped in resolving the matter.
SODELPA executives will meet today, and their management board will meet next Friday.
We are currently trying to speak to Radrodro.
