Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has addressed the concerns of Fijians regarding the progress of reform programs, emphasizing that no government can complete all its initiatives within a single four-year term. In light of public frustrations over the pace of reforms and the prevailing political tensions as the next general election approaches, Mr. Rabuka highlighted that achieving meaningful change is a gradual process requiring time and continuity.
During his remarks, he acknowledged that while some reform efforts have reached completion, numerous initiatives remain underway. “We have done some and we will be continuing with some,” he stated, reinforcing the notion that reform is an ongoing journey rather than a quick fix.
He also indicated that the responsibility for some of the unfinished reforms might be passed to future governments after elections. As his administration approaches the end of its term, Mr. Rabuka confirmed that his government will persist with the implementation of programs initiated over the past three years, ensuring continuity in its efforts toward progress.
This commitment to sustained reform reflects a broader understanding that societal change cannot occur overnight and requires ongoing dedication from leaders and citizens alike. The Prime Minister’s acknowledgment of the challenges faced indicates a willingness to promote a collaborative approach to governance that could foster goodwill in the future.
