Former members of the FijiFirst party, Iowane Naivalurua, Viliame Naupoto, and Mosese Bulitavu, have recently been sworn in as Ministers in the Rabuka-Coalition Government. Naivalurua now serves as the Minister for Policing, while Naupoto takes on the role of Minister for Immigration, and Bulitavu becomes the Minister Responsible for Climate Change. The swearing-in ceremony took place at the State House, presided over by His Excellency the President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu.

Additionally, several new Assistant Ministers were appointed: Aliki Bia as the Assistant Minister for Information, Naisa Tuinaceva as the Assistant Minister for Transport, and Ratu Josaia Niudamu as the Assistant Minister for Justice.

These appointments are viewed as a significant move towards enhancing inclusivity within the government, reflecting a collaborative approach that incorporates members from various political backgrounds. The Prime Minister is expected to hold a press conference later today to discuss these developments further, indicating a readiness to engage with the public about the government’s initiatives and direction.

This reshuffling marks a pivotal moment in Fiji’s political landscape, focusing on critical areas such as climate action, immigration, and justice. By integrating former opposition members into key roles, the coalition government aims to respond effectively to the challenges faced by the nation, potentially fostering innovative solutions that address the needs of the Fijian people and promoting a positive outlook for future governance.
