Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has reassured the public that recent changes to his Cabinet do not reflect instability within the government, urging investors to maintain their confidence in Fiji. This clarification follows the resignations of Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica and Finance Minister Professor Biman Prasad, who both stepped down amid corruption allegations from the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Rabuka emphasized that the government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring a stable business environment remains unwavering. He stated, “The turbulence in Cabinet does not necessarily mean instability in Government. In fact, they should also respect our concept of law and order, and that everybody is equal under the law.” His message aims to reinforce the trust of investors in the country’s governance.
This approach echoes Rabuka’s previous commitments to transparency and accountability, particularly in response to concerns about political integrity following ongoing inquiries, including a recent Commission of Inquiry report. In prior statements, he has outlined the government’s dedication to ethical conduct and responsible decision-making, reflecting a desire for reform within Fiji’s political landscape.
As the government navigates these transitional challenges, maintaining a focus on ethical governance and a transparent political climate could positively foster public trust and enhance the integrity of Fiji’s institutions. Rabuka’s administration seems poised to enact necessary reforms that reflect the population’s aspirations for a more accountable and effective governance framework, suggesting the potential for a hopeful and stable future in Fiji.
