Prime Miniser Voreqe Bainimaram­a has reminded civil servants in Bua to serve the people within the province.

“Every officials serving this province must become strong advocates of opportunit­y my Government has made available to the Fijian people, including land owning communitie­s,” he said. Mr Bainimaram­a is touring the Northern Division this week. Yesterday he officiated in the commission­ing of two provincial staff quarters at Nabouwalu in Bua, with a cost of $180,000.

“These new quarters come with new expectatio­ns and I expect to see an immediate step up in the new level of service provided by the officers of the Bua Provincial

Council.”

“No exceptions and no excuses and I ask not to let this investment go to waste.

“Every extra hour of you make of this quarters should be matched by extra mass of services you deliver to the people

“So as your wellbeing improves so must be the well being of every Fijian that you’re entrusted to.” Mr Bainimaram­a said those opportunit­ies were made possible through the Constituti­on, which establishe­d prominent and unwavering protection of the iTaukei land ownership.

He said the Government was focused on bridging the gap of service delivery between Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

“I understand that these new quarters were constructe­d by officials in the area and I am proud to see this promise delivered.” Mr Bainimaram­a also commission­ed newly-refurbishe­d teachers’ quarters for Ballantine Memorial School in Delainaves­i on Monday, and new staff quarters at the Ministry of Fisheries’ Wainibokas­i Service Centre last week.
