July 2, 2018 7:00 pm

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has urged the people of Bua to be mindful of political candidates and their promises.

Opening the Government Roadshow in Wainunu, Bua, Bainimarama says many of these political candidates will say the most outlandish things possible in a desperate attempt to get in the news.

Speaking in the iTaukei language Bainimarama warned that these politicians will make promises with no regard of whether what they are saying makes economic sense.

He adds even if they know what they are saying is absurd, impossible and even irresponsible, they have nothing to lose.

The Prime Minister says unfortunately for them, the people of Fiji know better and like the government they are focused on solutions and not empty rhetoric and hollow promises.
