Two political party leaders have put aside political beliefs and ideologies and embarked on a four-day “Listening Tour” to hear directly from the people the issues and challenges they were facing during this COVID-19 period.
The tour of the Western Division began in Sigatoka yesterday.
Opposition Leader Sitiveni Rabuka said Fijians were suffering in silence and trying to make best of the situation they were in.
National Federation Party leader Prof Biman Prasad said the stories shared by people in the West were sobering because they were being told by Fijians who were the hardest hit by COVID-19.
Both leaders said the tour would help them better articulate in Parliament the issues the people were facing.
