Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says Fijians should not forget the year 2000 as it was a time that changed the lives of many people

Bainimarama says Fijians should focus on building a better Fiji.

He says the sacrifices made by patriots has made Fiji what it is today.

“In life, they served a cause larger than themselves and gave their lives in the service of a nation and a people dear to their hearts. Their actions were the embodiment of unselfish devotion to duty. And everything that Fiji has grown to become today is owed to their sacrifice.”

Bainimarama was speaking at the handing over of new homes to four of the late patriot’s families in Wainibuku, Nakasi yesterday.
