The Hon. Minister for Immigration, National Security and Defence Timoci Lesi Natuva will this week commence a weeklong tour of Police Stations, Military Establishments and Immigration offices around Viti Levu.
The main intention surrounding his visit is to gain an insight with issues on the ground that members’ of both disciplined services and the Immigration Department face on a day-to-day basis. The Minister’s visit will be a ‘morale booster’ as members of Fiji’s disciplined force will be working throughout the festive holidays.
The Minister in both his Maiden Speech and Budget Address in Parliament stressed the important role that law and order and security play in ensuring that a conducive environment is provided for socio-economic development and that all Fijians live a life that is safe and free.
During this tour, the Minister will visit the National Command and Coordination Center in Totogo, major Police Stations in the Western Division, the Duke of Edinburgh Barracks in Lautoka and the Blackrock Project in Nadi. He will also visit the Immigration Office at the Nadi International Airport.
This weeklong tour will culminate in his officiating at the Pass Out Parade for Police Recruits in Nasova on Friday December 19, 2014.
