Rabuka Praises A-G

The People’s Alliance party leader, Sitiveni Rabuka, was thankful that the Attorney-General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum wants to improve the health services being provided to ordinary Fijians.

His comments came during the former Prime Minister’s visit and party function in Labasa last Friday.

Mr Rabuka was referring to the National Budget Consultation in Sigatoka, where a resident asked Mr Sayed-Khaiyum about the state of Sigatoka Hospital.

Mr Rabuka was amazed by the A-G’s response that the health services still needed to improve for the betterment of service delivery to patients.

He said the Minister for Health and Medical Services, Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete, needs to work out ways to solve hospital-related issues like regular water supply for patients and staff.

North Campaign Starts

Mr Rabuka said The People’s Alliance if voted into Government would continue to engage in bringing about more developments for the Northern Division.

Mr Rabuka hails from Drekeniwai Village, Cakaudrove.

“We will give close attention to the sugar industry in the north and around the country,” he said.

He claimed the current tonne of cane harvested to the tonne of sugar produced ratio was still basically the same despite the current varieties of sugarcane farmers produced.

Mr Rabuka was baffled whether the  sugarcane varieties grown were the right ones or if the sugarcane extraction methods were not working, leading to low yield.
