Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has officially removed Lynda Tabuya from her position in the cabinet, citing recent incidents related to her conduct as the Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection. In making this decision, Rabuka emphasized the importance of the oath Tabuya swore as a Minister and the standards expected from individuals in such roles.
“The decision to dismiss her as a Minister, effective immediately, is one I have not taken lightly, but it is necessary to uphold the integrity of our government and serve the best interests of the people,” said the Prime Minister.
Despite her dismissal from the cabinet, Tabuya will continue to serve as a Member of Parliament.
In a notable development, Prime Minister Rabuka has announced that Sashi Kiran will succeed Tabuya as Minister for Women, Children, and Social Protection. Kiran is set to be sworn in by His Excellency, the President, signifying a new chapter for the ministry.
This reshuffling within the cabinet may serve as an opportunity for renewed focus on the critical areas of women’s and children’s rights and welfare, fostering a commitment to high standards of governance.
In summary, Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has dismissed Lynda Tabuya from her cabinet role while appointing Sashi Kiran as her successor. This change highlights the government’s focus on maintaining integrity and accountability within its ranks.
