Newly elected SODELPA Leader, Aseri Radrodro has been reinstated as the Minister for Education after Fiji's leader Sitiveni Rabuka sacked him earlier this year.
Radrodro was dismissed from his ministerial role by the Prime Minister for insubordination and disobedience to his directive.
In January, Fiji's Prime Minister delivered a statement on the dismissal of Education Minister Aseri Radrodro from cabinet.
Now, three months later, he's been reinstated.
Rabuka has justified the U-turn, claiming he only gave Radrodro a three-month stand down, which concluded on the 22nd of this month.
However, there is no record of Rabuka saying this.
