Opposition party leaders fired broadsides at Acting Prime Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum yesterday, rejecting his claim at a satellite project launch that rural dwellers could access the “right” information about Government and not the “lasulasu” circulated by social media and other forums.
Fiji Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry claimed the current move to digitise the television network in Fiji and force people to acquire Walesi sets was simply a part of Government’s electioneering effort to get its propaganda through as widely as possible ahead of the 2022 General Election.
National Federation Party leader Professor Biman Prasad and Unity Fiji leader Savenaca Narube claimed it was Government who was the major source of “lasulasu” and misinformation.
They both referred to a recent Facebook post of Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama visiting frontline workers as releasing information that was “obviously false”.
