The drug situation is already out of control and will continue to grow, says Unity Fiji Party leader Savenaca Narube.

Mr Narube said Fiji had lost both the battle and the war against drugs.

“We must find an integrated approach with the vanua, churches and the Government to bring this under control,” Mr Narube said in a statement.

“Fiji has the experience and know-how, but we do not seem to be sharing these widely.

“There is no need to bring expertise from abroad, all we need to do is provide platforms to allow knowledge-sharing and mentoring amongst ourselves.”
