Minister for Home Affairs, Pio Tikoduadua says they are working with our development partners to build a specialised Drug and Narcotics Bureau. While elaborating in parliament, Tikoduadua says this new bureau will be tasked with the effective intelligence gathering, prevention and the prosecution of those who are responsible for this threat to Fiji. He says the illicit drug trade in our country threatens the very fabric of our society as it is not simply a criminal enterprise but it is a multifaceted scourge that undermines our social, economic, and moral structures, with a particularly devastating impact on our youth. Tikoduadua says the infiltration of drugs into our communities has far-reaching consequences. He says the drug trade erodes the potential of our young people, drawing them away from education and productive activities into cycles of dependency and despair. He says the drug trade, with its false promises of quick wealth, ensnares not just individuals but entire families and communities, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and lawlessness. Tikoduadua stresses that the government is acutely aware of the gravity of this issue and the need for a comprehensive and multi-pronged strategy to combat it.
*TIKODUADUA, start by reporting your Cabinet colleague, Womens and Childrens Minister and Social Protection LYNDA TABUYA who accompanied you to Melbourne, to Fiji Police, and order that the Police seize her Coalition government mobile phone to establish how she was able to smuggle 'weeds' into her Room 233. Jumping to her defense, you claim the text messages were obtained illegally, meaning the text messages are authentic. Please start by calling on the POLICE to arrest and search Tabuya's mobile phone.
*Justice Sitiveni Rabuka contradicts you, saying he is not convinced about the authenticity of the text messages
*The individual who reported Tabuya to PAP resulting in the party's Disciplinary Committee finding against Tabuya, should now GO to the Fiji Police with the complain, especially on 'Weed in Room 233'
