Lata to stand for NFP in 2022 General Election

- By SERAFINA SILAITOGA

NATIONAL Federation Party 2022 General Election candidate Ansu Lata claims Fiji has lost respect in the internatio­nal community.

She said she decided to contest the polls this year because she felt it was time for the issue to be rectified through a change of leadership and Government.

“I intend to be a driving force behind that change,” she said.

“I will be a loyal and fierce advocate for each and every Fijian citizen, their fundamenta­l democratic and human rights, and law and order.

“I will also be an influentia­l player behind the change that is required in our country to repair the damage caused by the current government.”

With her credential­s and experience, Ms Lata said she believed she was worthy to be part of the NFP team in Parliament and will effectivel­y contribute to the critical decision-making process.

Originally of Labasa, Ms Lata will be contesting for the third time and believes it will be different this year.

“The main issues I am committed to addressing are eliminatin­g gender disparity or inequality, ending domestic violence, raising the quality of education and training for every citizen, promotion of healthy living and access to quality medical services and infrastruc­ture, the right to a safe living environmen­t,” she said.

“Each and every citizen is concerned by these issues, one way or another, and they are entitled to have their grievances addressed.

“I will stand for the change that is urgently needed by our nation. I intend to be a strong and rational voice for women, underprivi­leged people, our youth, small businesses, students and those affected by health problems.”

She said NFP has always been at the forefront of the developmen­t of Fiji and they could set this nation free, putting it on the course of rebuilding and reuniting itself.
