MP, Lenora Qereqeretabua and NFP Leader, Professor Biman Prasad

The National Federation Party says it is not in Parliament today as they are yet to receive correspondence from the Speaker of the House, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau.

NFP leader, Professor Biman Prasad and MP, Lenora Qereqeretabua, were notable absentees after all other Opposition members from SODELPA came back after a two-day boycott.

NFP says they wrote to the Speaker yesterday to seek confirmation of two of our motions for this week, but have not had any response.
