Parliament

National Federation Party president Pio Tikoduadua has refused to apologise for his personal attack against Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama.

NFP Parliamentarian Lenora Qereqeretabua has joined in condemning the Privileges Committee report saying its fake justice.

Opposition MP Aseri Radrodo says the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama’s action on August 9th was unwarranted.

The Parliamentary Privileges Committee is recommending that Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and National Federation Party MP, Pio Tikoduadua need to apologise to each other in Parliament or face six months suspension from the House.

Tikoduadua was a confidante of the govt says AG

Privilege Committee member and Government MP, Alvick Maharaj says Opposition members initially agreed to sign off on the report.

Minister for Trade, Premila Kumar weighed in on the Privileges Committee report.

National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad has labelled the Privilege Committee report tabled in Parliament today as hogwash.

Parliament must be consistent in their decisions rather than giving special treatment to some MPs simply because of their privileged position.

It shouldn’t have come this far.

SODELPA MP has moved a motion asking the Prime Minister to apologize to the Parliament and also be suspended for two years.

Speaker of Parliament has this morning ruled there was no breach of privilege by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama against SODELAP MP.
