Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka is calling on civil servants to work without fear but to exercise freedom of expression when the need arises.
PM Rabuka made this statement while speaking to Government Departments Heads in the North yesterday (02.01.23) as a part of his first tour to Vanua Levu, after taking up office.
He said working in fear was not encouraged but for individuals to carry out their work to the best of their abilities, to promote nation building.
“Development never ends, let us play our part during our generation so that the foundation for the future generation is firmer than when we build, although they were built by the previous generation,” he said.
“Our mode of operation is, “in cooperation with the people to promote the development of our nation” – that is why you would have heard in my New Year’s address, I focused on Unity and joint effort,” he said.
PM Rabuka also highlighted that the Government’s core function was to assist members of the public, and it was imperative that civil servants worked hand in hand, to ensure that this was carried out well.
He also visited Namulomulo Village and continues his weeklong North Tour today, where he will be opening the Drekeniwai Village Hall, in Cakaudrove.
