Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has clarified he is unaware of any concerns raised by the Methodist Church of Fiji on Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection Lynda Tabuya’s statement.
Ms Tabuya received criticism on her suggestion for the death penalty on those who traffic excessive amounts of drugs.
“No, I have not been informed, I have not heard from the MCIF directly,” Mr Rabuka told this newspaper.
When this edition went to press, Mr Rabuka had yet to respond to whether he would be meeting with Ms Tabuya when he returns to Fiji.
Mr Rabuka is presently in Tonga attending the 53rd Pacific Island Forum Leaders Meeting. The meeting will end tomorrow.
