Bulanauca says it is an election budget while AG challenges Bulanauca to make allegations against him and the PM outside Parliament

SODELPA MP, Mitieli Bulanauca says the 2022-2023 National Budget is an elections budget and that the FijiFirst government can only fool some people some of the time but cannot fool all the people all the time.

While opposing the budget in parliament today, Bulanauca says there are many unexpected irresponsible expenditure which will go into buying of votes or freebies.

He adds that there is no reason why the government continues to increase the budget for the Republic of Fiji Military Forces.

Bulanauca also suggested that the education budget should have been increased as well as the allocation for the Ministry of Health.

The SODELPA MP says there needs to be more preventative health programs which is better than regulating mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations that the government has forced everyone to have.

Meanwhile the Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has challenged Bulanauca to make allegations against him and the Prime Minister outside Parliament after Bulanauca made serious allegations against Sayed-Khaiyum and the Prime Minister.

He says Bulanauca’s comments and attributions are pathetic.

The Attorney General says it is unfortunate that most members of the Opposition pull out the ethnic card to threaten stability in the country.
