AI shouldn’t be an excuse to cut the civil service. Used carefully, it can free skilled people from routine work.
My Fiji Times piece: remove the work, not the workers.

Trade rules only matter if businesses can use them.
My Fiji Times piece on PACER Plus rules of origin looks at a simple test: do the rules work for what Fijian firms actually export?

My column in yesterday’s Fiji Times:
Fiji isn’t underfunding sport — we’re failing to deliver it.
Money’s there. Pathways, systems and conversations aren’t.

Grateful to my friends and followers for the support and encouragement.
A new chapter begins — opportunity for personal growth and moving forward.
Committed to continued engagement on trade, digital transformation, and MSME reform. #PublicService #Transition
On 20 Nov 2025, we consulted on Fiji’s #Plywood #Standards, aligning with international benchmarks to lift #safety, quality, fair competition in construction. Next: TSAC endorsement, gazettal & coordinated enforcement. Stronger standards for a safer Fiji🇫🇯#QualityInfrastructure
Honoured to be in Shanghai as Fiji engaged with China’s Ministry of Commerce & Pacific partners to advance #trade, #investment, #MSME, and #digitalconnectivity.
As we mark 50 years of #FijiChina friendship, I thank our counterparts for the partnership and vision tor future. 🇫🇯🇨🇳
🇫🇯 When innovation meets national pride, great things happen — and #BulaFlights is proof of that.
Fiji’s first home-grown flight-booking platform — Made in Fiji, by Fijians, for Fijians — making travel simple, transparent & stress-free.

Fiji takes another stride in strengthening its measurement infrastructure with the commissioning of the 15-ton Axle Pad Test Rig — protecting roads, empowering fair trade, and ensuring trust for every consumer, every citizen, and for Fiji. 🇫🇯⚖️

It was a pleasure to catch up with my @dfat colleagues. We discussed our enhanced partnership under #Vuvale, including #digitaltransformation, #cybersecurity and #commercialagriculture. We also committed to progressing regional trade and attracting quality foreign investments.
At #PRF25, Fiji’s message was clear:
Digital transformation must work for everyone — not just those in cities or connected markets.
We proposed real tools for small states:
✅ Rules to guarantee reliable internet
✅ A Pacific AI test space
✅ Systems that talk to each other
MSME support in action.
Over 2 days, we brought Gov’t, financiers & entrepreneurs together to align efforts — from iTaukei Business Funds to YES-backed startups like FijianHost, to export-driven Qito Sports.
Real stories. Real solutions.
This is just the beginning.

Pleased to have formally issued these as PS for Communications — a step forward in our digital journey.

4/ Mobile operators are also committed to upgrade 2G & 3G sites to 4G in parallel.
That’s essential for digital inclusion and national reach.
#SmartFiji
5/ The 5G platform is in place.
Next: training, skills, services — and making sure every Fijian can benefit.
Vinaka to all involved.
#DigitalTransformation
From Suva to Nadi, Savusavu to Labasa — the voices shaping Fiji’s 🇫🇯 next
