Sashi Kiran, recently appointed Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, is determined to stay committed to her responsibilities following the dismissal of Lynda Tabuya. Ms. Kiran was sworn in on Friday after Tabuya’s departure, which was prompted by a leaked explicit video.
Recognizing the challenges the ministry faces amidst this controversy, Ms. Kiran emphasized the need to prioritize the well-being of the people. “There is trust, and where we’re concerned is ensuring that we get the work done,” she remarked. She acknowledged the importance of the ministry’s role in caring for the most vulnerable and called upon all Fijians to support her as she transitions into this important position.
With prior experience as the Assistant Minister in the same department, Ms. Kiran is well-prepared to lead the ministry and ensure continuity in its crucial services.
In a time of transition and uncertainty, Ms. Kiran’s focus on her mandate signals a positive commitment to progress and the welfare of the community. By seeking collaboration and support from the public, she is poised to foster trust and resilience within the ministry. This optimistic outlook may pave the way for meaningful advancements in the areas of women’s and children’s welfare in Fiji.
