Former SODELPA vice president Anare Jale claims that dismissed education minister Aseri Radrodro was an “obstacle” during the post-2022 General Elections negotiations when their party was deciding to join forces with either the FijiFirst party or side with the reigning Coalition Government.
Mr Jale claimed Mr Radrodro tried multiple times to influence the party’s management board into coalescing with the FijiFirst Party. He said Mr Radrodro was again using the party to further his own interest.
Mr Radrodro, however, has argued that he has long since formed a strong relationship with his Coalition partners during his first year in office. That’s the big news on the front page of The Fiji Times for Thursday, January 25.
In the second story in the front oage, Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation Minister Lynda Tabuya is prepared for whatever the People’s Alliance Legal and National Disciplinary Sub-Committee decides. Confirming the complaint lodged against her to the PAP Executive Council, Ms Tabuya says she has the right to defend herself under the Party’s Constitution.
