Rotuma Island Council Advisor and a former top brass of the military man, Major General George Konrote says, Rotuma has never experienced the amount of development projects carried out on the island by an administration.

Konrote says the chiefs and people of Rotuma, now have what they have been asking past governments.

“Never in the history of our little island so much has been done by any government. The developments has done a lot for the people in terms of improving their income generating capacity and living conditions. The present administration has done a lot over the last 8 years or so. However, I am not insensitive nor dismissive to the efforts of past administration, we are equally grateful for that."
