Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has directed the Minister for Housing to develop relocation plans for residents of the Nabua Muslim League settlement in Suva. This directive comes after eviction notices were issued, stating that the land is rightfully owned by the Fiji Muslim League.
Rabuka emphasized that the eviction notice was issued in accordance with the law. He expressed hope that the number of residents affected would be minimal and acknowledged the importance of adhering to legal processes regarding land ownership.
The Prime Minister noted that the Ministry of Housing is actively working on a relocation strategy. However, he did not provide a specific timeline for how soon these relocations might occur, as the duration of residents’ stay in the area also influences the timeline. He reiterated the urgency of creating a relocation plan and has tasked the Minister for Housing to expedite this process.
This situation illustrates the challenges of balancing legal property rights with the needs of displaced residents. The government’s commitment to finding a solution ensures that residents will receive the support needed during this transition.
In summary, while dealing with the complexities of land ownership, the government aims to facilitate a compassionate and well-organized relocation process for affected residents.
