Our Values and Mission

 

With humility and honesty … we must serve the people of the land. That challenge is for all of us. National development plans must ensure that the interests of the masses become paramount. If our ordinary people lose faith through unfair and inequitable policies, then the future is fraught with uncertainties. We must restore the faith of our people in democracy, in the government of the day, and above all in Fiji.
