Independent parliamentarian Mosese Bulitavu expressed his gratitude to Speaker of the House Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu for allowing him and his 16 former FijiFirst Members to keep their seats in Parliament.
“I would like to thank you for your wisdom and also your decision in the past few months that has enabled us, most of the Members on this side of Parliament, 17 of us to keep our seats and not vacate our seats,” Bulitavu said.
“We thank you for your confidence in us, given that our party that has been deregistered, had abandoned us by trying to terminate us, but I thank you that you were able to hear our side of the story and also with the decision that you concluded from the various legal opinions that you have sought, you came with that particular decision for us to continue as Members of Parliament, not vacating our seats.”
