1. Good Time Ministers Warned ======================================================================== November 21st, 2001 1. Good Time Ministers Warned: Duty comes before nightclubbing, says Fiji's Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase. He told his Cabinet not to tarnish the government's reputation by irresponsible public conduct. Mr Qarase's directive comes after the media highlighted the public conduct of three government ministers this week. [The ministers were alleged to have been drunk and disorderly in public bars.] "The rights of ministers as individuals are protected under the Constitution. But surely as ministers and Members of Parliament we are all expected to maintain the highest standard of responsible behavior, moral integrity, public and personal decorum.' "As ministers we are expected to maintain the dignity of the public office we hold.' "I request all ministers to bear this in mind and not be an embarrassment to our government, your family, and our community,'' Mr. Qarase said.(PR/Fiji Times). __END__
