"When the going gets tough, the Prime Minister takes cover, only this time with eggs on his face. We are facing another crisis which will kill more of our people. There is widespread flooding from the recent cyclone. But the Prime Minister and his right hand man, the Attorney General, are nowhere to be seen. This is totally irresponsible and unacceptable."

“LEADERS HAVE ABANDONED US AGAIN”
A Statement by Savenaca Narube, Leader of Unity Fiji and former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji
When the going gets tough, the Prime Minister takes cover, only this time with eggs on his face, said the Leader of Unity Fiji and former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji, Mr. Savenaca Narube. Mr. Narube explained, “We are facing another crisis which will kill more of our people. There is widespread flooding from the recent cyclone. But the Prime Minister and his right hand man, the Attorney General, are nowhere to be seen. This is totally irresponsible and unacceptable.”
“19 people have already died from the third wave. Our hospitals are starting to fill up with the COVID patients. The more dangerous Delta variant is still around. When all this is happening, where are our leaders?” Are they trivializing the deaths and the hardship that we face? It is becoming all too familiar,” said the former Governor.
“We admire Prime Ministers in other countries standing tall and pointing out the direction for their people to follow in this crisis. Instead, our PM is hiding as he did in the second wave. Like in the second wave, I am sure that the PM will re-emerge when the situation is over and claim victory.”
“After the second wave, the PM claimed that the opposition parties had eggs on their faces. Well, whose faces are full of eggs now? ” asked the Leader of Unity Fiji.”
“There is no government plan to manage the crisis. It is now left to the Minister for Trade to announce measures to control the third wave. It is highly unlikely that higher fines will work. While we do no have to impose a total lockdown, there are other ways to help control the virus.”
Mr. Narube suggested that the government consider the following?
1. Tighten the protocol and rules at our borders. The “holiday in hell” incident was real. We all want
tourists to visit us. But people’s lives must matter.
2. Limit all meetings, officials and unofficial. There is no point whatsoever in limiting just unofficial
meetings. In any case, what is official and what is unofficial?
3. Delay the opening of schools by three weeks. We will be forced to do this later as more and more
teachers and children get sick. Above all else, we must protect our children.
4. Encourage people to work from home where possible for the next three weeks. This will ease the
spread of the virus on public and workplaces.
Mr. Narube concluded, “When human lives are threatened, there should be no other choice. The
government leaders have abandoned us for too long. They are clearly unfit to lead us.”
