Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has confirmed that Manoa Kamikamica will be reappointed as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Commerce, Trade and Communications, with his swearing‑in scheduled for today. The Prime Minister explained that the delay in Kamikamica’s appointment was due only to pending paperwork, and emphasized that he will be returning to a ministry that is close to his heart.
Rabuka noted that Kamikamica has emerged from a challenging period stronger and more resilient, expressing confidence in his leadership as he resumes his responsibilities. The conclusion of recent court proceedings cleared the way for his return to Cabinet, marking a significant moment for both Kamikamica and the Coalition Government.
His reappointment signals a renewed focus on the Government’s priorities, particularly in driving economic growth, encouraging investment, strengthening trade and communications, and creating jobs and opportunities for all Fijians. The Prime Minister’s remarks highlight the trust placed in Kamikamica’s leadership and the expectation that his experience and resilience will contribute meaningfully to advancing the nation’s development agenda.
