We want to see the current coalition government in place for the next 4 years and SODELPA is bound by the agreement to ensure that it participates positively in the agreement.
Those are the words of SODELPA Vice President and head of the party’s coalition negotiation team, Anare Jale after SODELPA General Secretary, Lenaitasi Duru reportedly issued a threat through a Fiji Sun article for the government to honour the coalition agreement or SODELPA is not bound by the signed agreement.
Jale says Duru’s claims are unfounded as SODELPA has been offered 3 ambassadorial positions and 22 board member positions.
He says they gave SODELPA members the opportunity to apply for these offered positions however he stresses that the agreement is clear that they must put people in with proper qualifications and experience.
Jale says people have to meet the minimum qualification requirements, and those who join the board have to resign from the party.
The SODELPA Vice President says he does not know where Duru is coming from.
Jale says they are following the system, the party is satisfied with the process and a signed letter with the proposed names for the positions has been handed to Deputy Prime Minister, Manoa Kamikamica.
The letter is signed by the SODELPA Leader and President.
Duru had resigned from the General Secretary post on December 20th last year, the same day the first coalition agreement was reached between the People’s Alliance, National Federation Party and SODELPA.
He then said that he will continue as General Secretary as his notice was for 30 days after his resignation.
Jale says they will deal with Duru when they have a meeting with him.
