Calls by the Opposition for the Prime Minister to have a live TV debate with the newly appointed leader of SODELPA have been rubbished by the man in question.

Voreqe Bainimarama says Sitiveni Rabuka is insignificant.

“Rabuka is nothing right now – he is nobody, he is irrelevant in this house. He is not a member of parliament – maybe when he stands for parliament – then he can have a debate with me – but can’t they have a debate with me, but they pushing him to that stand as if he has got something to offer Fiji – Rabuka has nothing to offer Fiji right now -Not now, not ever.”

Bainimarama says Rabuka’s recent interview on FBC’s 4 the record is evidence that he can’t answer questions and continues to lie to the people of Fiji.
