Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has made the decision to dismiss Lynda Tabuya from her role as Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, citing concerns over her conduct and adherence to the standards expected of a ministerial position. In a formal statement, Rabuka referenced the Oath Tabuya took upon assuming office and indicated that this decision was in the best interests of the public.
Despite her removal from the cabinet, Tabuya will continue to serve as a Member of Parliament. Rabuka explained that this was not an easy choice, but one deemed necessary for the integrity of government service.
Following Tabuya’s dismissal, Sashi Kiran has been appointed as the new Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection. Kiran is set to be sworn in officially by the President.
This transition marks an important moment for the government, as it reflects a commitment to uphold standards of accountability and performance. The appointment of Sashi Kiran could signal a new direction in policies concerning women and children, which many may view as a step toward more effective governance.
The Prime Minister’s actions demonstrate a willingness to make tough decisions in order to maintain the quality and trust in leadership, emphasizing the principle that public service requires integrity and dedication. As the new minister takes office, there is hope for renewed focus on the welfare and protection of vulnerable groups in society.
