SODELPA parliamentarians back in parliament with NFP parliamentarians absent

SODELPA parliamentarians are back in parliament this morning however National Federation Party parliamentarians, Professor Biman Prasad and Lenora Qereqeretabua are not in attendance.

We have been told by NFP staff in parliament that Professor Prasad and Qereqeretabua will not attend parliament based on the SODELPA petition on the exploration at the Sigatoka River Mouth not accepted by the Speaker.

Meanwhile Fijivillage has received calls and messages from members of the public on whether the opposition members who are staying out of parliament will get paid. They are asking what the parliamentarians will get paid for and whether deductions will take place for not showing up, if yes then how much, if no then why not.

Stay with us as we will speak to SODELPA and NFP on this.
