NATIONAL Federation Party member Lenora Qereqeretabua today questioned the Government about its relationship with Grace Road.

In her response to the President’s address in Parliament, Ms Qereqeretabua said under the Foreign Investment Act and Regulations, cafes and bakeries were described as reserved activities.

“So how do the Grace House Snowy House cafe operate in Fiji?” s Qereqeretabua asked.

“How do their Pacific Patisserie bakeries operate in Fiji?

“Aren’t these activities reserved for Fiji citizens?”

Ms Qereqeretabua said they were aware that Grace Road had a construction company and that the company worked for the Government.

“I say to the Government – you say you are a government that is transparent and accountable. So tell us what is the real relationship between Government and Grace Road?”

She said an NFP government would ensure a thorough investigation into Grace Road and if needed be, people would be charged and sent home.
