Newly appointed Assistant Minister for Justice Josaia Niudamu has pledged to support Minister Siromi Turaga in implementing the governmental frameworks during the remaining term of the Coalition Government, leading up to the elections next year. Following a swearing-in ceremony at the State House, Niudamu expressed his enthusiasm for serving the Fijian people and ensuring that justice is accessible to those in need.
“I feel good and I am grateful to the honorable Prime Minister for trusting me with this role,” Niudamu stated. He emphasized his commitment to uphold the nation’s interests and to seamlessly continue government policies while assisting Minister Turaga in any planned initiatives for the ministry.
With a solid legal background, being a graduate from the University of the South Pacific and having over a decade of experience with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution, Niudamu brings significant expertise to his new role. Before his appointment, he operated his own law firm, Niudamu Lawyers. His political journey began with the FijiFirst party, but he transitioned to support Prime Minister Turaga and a coalition known as the Group of 9 (G9) last year.
When asked about his future political aspirations, Niudamu hinted that he might consider running in the upcoming elections, underscoring that timing will be crucial in his decision. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enhancing services for the Fijian populace and encouraged citizens to support governmental efforts: “I pray they continue supporting the Government in providing better services to the country.”
The ongoing collaboration between Niudamu and Minister Turaga resonates with the broader commitment of the Coalition Government to improve governance and service delivery to the citizens of Fiji. Their focus on justice and accountability indicates a hopeful trajectory for the political landscape, which is set to foster trust and transparency within public institutions moving forward.
In summary, Josaia Niudamu’s appointment reflects a renewed dedication to justice and effective governance in Fiji, fostering optimism for continuous improvements in public service in the coming year.
