SODELPA, wishes to make a clear and unequivocal statement regarding our stance on the recent ministerial reshuffling announced by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka. We want to emphasize our unwavering commitment and support for the Coalition Government, despite our reservations about the lack of prior consultation with our relevant ministers.
It's important to note that we were informed about the reshuffling through social media, and the changes are set to take effect on October 17, 2023, as outlined in the Prime Minister's official Facebook statement.
Two of our own members, Minister Ifereimi Vasu, responsible for iTaukei Affairs, and Minister Aseri Radrodro, who oversees Education, are directly affected by these reassignments. While we respect the Prime Minister's constitutional authority to make these decisions, we believe in the importance of upholding the spirit of cooperation within the Coalition.
In a Coalition Government comprising three parties, timely and transparent consultation is crucial for effective planning and smooth transitions. Unfortunately, our caucus members did not have the opportunity to prepare adequately for these changes, which has caused logistical challenges, as some of our ministers are currently serving in various regions and one is traveling abroad for work.
We firmly stand by the principle of not fixing what is not broken. Our ministers have been actively fulfilling their responsibilities and have already planned their work for the upcoming months. However, we are ready to adapt and collaborate as necessary.
Rest assured, these developments will not weaken our commitment to our Coalition partners. SODELPA remains steadfast and loyal to the mission of the Coalition Government. We are currently documenting all the information we have received and will address this matter in our next board meeting.
Regarding Minister Ifereimi Vasu, who was in Kadavu at the time and faced network connectivity issues, he expressed that he would need to return to Suva before providing further comments on the reassignments."
