Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has labelled Ratu Isoa Tikoca as a pathetic man that only spreads poison.

Bainimarama made the comments after Tikoca made nasty religious statements about the Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

Bainimarama says Tikoca always stirs up trouble in parliament.

“That’s typical of Tikoca and you can sum it up by saying he’s a pathetic man he is coming up with a pathetic exercise in trying to justify what he wants done in parliament and I also think he is a very frustrated man because he has a court case in court to do with corruption and that’s why he is hitting out at every one.”

Bainimarama says Tikoca is jealous of Sayed-Khaiyum.
