Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has stated that Fiji has zero tolerance for anyone who disrespects and violates our laws.

With a lot of interest from foreign investors to invest in Fiji, Bainimarama says the government will not tolerate violation of our environmental laws, laws governing our roadways and laws protecting taxpayer funds from abuse.

Bainimarama says if we allow any of those laws to go unenforced, we erode society’s confidence in our ability to keep them safe and send criminals a message that they can get away with exploiting our country.

The Prime Minister says the government will continue to work hard for a Fiji where laws are not only enforced by the government but by ordinary people who demand adherence and accountability and work with our authorities to report and uproot criminal networks.
