Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said he is very disappointed that they have been accused as a Government of disadvantaging ordinary people and in particular the i-Taukei.
While speaking during the official handover of lease documents to the trustees of Raiwai Youth and Community Council for the Raiwai Community Hall, Bainimarama said they just had a delegation of their political opponents telling the United Nations in New York that the government is working against the interests of the i-Taukei and dispossessing them, robbing them of their land and their rights.
Bainimarama said this is a lie.
The Prime Minister said under the current government, the i-Taukei are more secure, and have more opportunities.
Bainimarama said these opposition figures are merely trying to deceive people for their own political ends.
