*Opposition MP and Shadow Minister for Economy Aseri Radrodro claims the 2018-2019 national budget if accepted at face value seems like a budget that cares for Fijians. *

Responding to the national budget address in parliament, Radrodro says it presents a rosy picture about what the government intends to provide for all Fijians.

He claims the government is trying all its best to claim their leadership.

Radrodro focused on Fiji’s revenue and taxation, receipt of public shares, debt level and expenditures, certain social policies and infrastructure issues.

Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum will give his right of reply once all the parliamentary members have given their views on the budget.
