SODELPA MP Ro Kiniviliame Kiliraki.

SODELPA MP Ro Kiniviliame Kiliraki says that SODELPA will offer free education up to university level if it forms the next government in 2018.

While speaking during the 2017/2018 National Budget debate, Kiliraki says that the Tertiary Education Loan Scheme is a debt driven policy that enslaves recipients as soon as they gain employment.

Kiliraki says that at first glance this budget is a desperate budget, and is an election budget.

He says that SODELPA can achieve more with the same budget.
