Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka made a significant and unannounced visit to former parliamentarian Salote Radrodro at her home in Namulomulo, Nabouwalu, Bua, yesterday. This visit held particular importance as it was Ms. Radrodro’s first encounter with the Prime Minister after her release from prison in September.
During his visit, Mr. Rabuka took the opportunity to learn more about the copra industry and its operations, highlighting the government’s interest in understanding and supporting local industries. His visit coincided with a tour of key sites related to the China Aid Vanua Levu Road Development Project, underscoring the government’s focus on infrastructure development.
The meeting was well-received by Ms. Radrodro’s family, with her son, Alipate Radrodro, expressing his gratitude for the Prime Minister’s thoughtful visit. He mentioned that they had a prior opportunity to converse with the PM just days before the New Year, bringing a sense of hope and optimism as they approached the coming year.
Ms. Radrodro, in turn, expressed her best wishes to the Prime Minister and the Coalition Government for the New Year, which is a hopeful message resonating through the community. The unexpected visit also brought joy to Ms. Radrodro’s family after they returned from a church service, illustrating the personal connections that can be fostered between leaders and citizens in times of change.
This visit not only highlights the government’s commitment to engaging with local communities but also serves as a reminder of the resilience and hope that families carry into the new year.
Overall, the visit is a testament to the importance of dialogue and connection in governance, providing a positive outlook for collaboration and community support as the nation strides into 2025.
