“There will be many investigations.”
That was the message from Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka as he addressed staff and students of the Navuso Agricultural Technical Institute during the handover of an excavator.
“Our country is going through very difficult and testing times when there had been a commission of inquiry and a lot of people are jumping up and down or wondering whether they were mentioned or have been mentioned and whether they will get into trouble or not,” Mr Rabuka said.
“There will be many investigations, and the person who has no reason to worry about the investigation is the person who keeps trodding the straight path of diligence, honesty and loyalty.”
The Prime Minister said those values were not only important in governance but also rooted in faith.
“Those are some of the prime pillars of the teachings of Jesus. And we remember in the Old Testament the old prophet Micah asking his fellow beings – what does God expect of us, what does God want us to do. He believed that God wanted us to act justly, to love with mercy and to walk humbly before our God.”
Meanwhile, Minister for Public Works Ro Filipe Tuisawau is Acting Prime Minister until Thursday. He will also act in the PM’s other portfolios during Mr Rabuka’s absence.
