“In Fiji, we cherish our tapestry of cultures, and it is crucial that our police force reflects this diversity. We have observed an imbalance, with an overrepresentation of i-Taukei in the force. It is time to address this and ensure that our security forces mirror the diversity of our nation.”

The Minister stressed the significance of inclusive representation in our society, highlighting the critical need for all sectors of the community to see themselves reflected in those responsible for their protection and service.
