The appointment of the 2 candidates of the FijiFirst Party to fill in the vacant seats in parliament is expected to be done this week.
This has been stated by Attorney General Siromi Turaga.
Turaga says the Interim Chairperson, Barbara Malimali is currently trying to organise a meeting with the members appointed.
Turaga says there should be something known by the end of this week.
When asked by fijivillage News about concerns raised by the Leader of the Opposition that it would have taken 6 months if the MPs are not appointed this week, Turaga says the Constitutional Offices Commission meeting was held on Friday and is being held again today and hopefully they can resolve it this week and the 2 MPs can be in Parliament by the end of the week.
When asked if this is some sort of strategy to have less Opposition MPs during the budget debate, Turaga says it is not and there is no malice at all.
He says whatever the Opposition is saying, the Government rises well above it.
