“I believe there are some issues that they are willing to discuss with me. Some are not happy with their work conditions, and I’m happy to meet with all of them and discuss and listen to those issues and whatever concerns they might have.”

Rabuka emphasized that he is going as the Prime Minister of Fiji and not as the People’s Alliance Party Leader.

He is also expected to attend a church service tomorrow.
