The Interim Prime Minister said the military officers have been drafted into the civil service to improve efficiency and rebuild Fiji.

Commodore Frank Bainimarama has rubbished suggestions by the Soqosoqo Duavata Ni Lewenivanua (SDL) that the growing militarization of the civil service will undermine the public service and affect the performance of the civil servants.

Bainimarama also said that the travel bans have not helped and they had to take this option.
