A Tribute to the Late Momo na Tui Vuda, Ratu Eparama Kitione Tavaiqia

It is with deep sadness that my family and I learned of the passing of the Momo na Tui Vuda, the late Ratu Eparama Kitione Tavaiqia.

On behalf of my family and myself, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, the Vanua of Vuda, and all who mourn his passing. Fiji has lost a respected traditional leader whose wisdom, humility, and commitment to his people will be remembered for generations.

I also recall The People’s Alliance Party’s first official visit to Na Vanua o Vuda, Vale Levu e Vunisei in June 2022, when a party delegation presented its sevusevu and boka to the late Turaga na Tui Vuda. The delegation was led by the Party President, the Momo na Tui Nadi, Ratu Vuniyani Navuniuci. During that visit, the late Turaga na Tui Vuda graciously received the delegation, affirmed the candidacy of Ratu Tevita Momoedonu Jnr of the chiefly household of Sawaieke, and offered his blessings and well wishes to The People’s Alliance Party. It was a significant moment in our party’s journey and reflected his generosity, leadership, and respect for democratic engagement.

As a Member of Parliament and a member of The People’s Alliance Party, I honour his legacy of service to the Vanua and acknowledge the profound contribution he made to the people of Vuda and to Fiji.

May God grant comfort and strength to his family, the Vanua of Vuda, and all who grieve during this difficult time.

May the late na Momo na Tui Vuda, Ratu Eparama Kitione Tavaiqia soul rest in eternal peace.
