Following the recent dismissal of Cabinet Minister Lynda Tabuya due to a scandal involving a leaked video, Sashi Kiran has stepped into the role of Minister for Women, Children, and Social Protection. Kiran was officially sworn in last Friday and is committed to directing her focus on the important work of the ministry, regardless of the challenges that arose from the previous administration.
Kiran acknowledged the negative attention surrounding her predecessor but emphasized the ministry’s imperative to continue serving the community, particularly the most vulnerable populations. “There is trust, I think where we’re concerned is that ensuring that we get the work done,” Kiran stated. She expressed her desire to seek support from all Fijians as she takes on her new responsibilities.
Bringing prior experience to her new position, Kiran was previously the Assistant Minister within the same ministry since the Coalition Government commenced, which positions her well to make a positive impact moving forward.
In summary, Sashi Kiran’s dedicated approach to her new role serves as a beacon of hope for the ministry, promising to focus on essential services for vulnerable groups in Fiji despite earlier controversies. This demonstrates a strong commitment to community welfare and leadership continuity during trying times.
