Leader of the Opposition, Inia Se­ruiratu is preparing to submit his proposal for the 2023-2024 National Budget.

During his recent three-day visit to the Northern Division, Mr Seruiratu listened to the needs of communities and assessed the impact of services on their lives.

His tour included visits to business peo­ple, farming areas, Government agencies, villages, communities, Fiji Sugar Corpo­ration, Fiji Rice Pte Limited, and sugar­cane farmers preparing for the upcoming crushing season.

“One of the purposes of my visit is to fol­low up on the projects and hear from the people as we prepare for the 2023-2024 na­tional budget,” Mr Seruiratu said.

“Some of the things that the people are asking about are taxation and what would happen to low income earners. I am also aware that the Labasa mill is preparing for the crushing season.”
