“We have tried as much as we can to re-look at our policies, review them, and see how we can actually strengthen that particular drug issue.”

Kalouniwai highlighted the need for robust policies to mitigate drug use within the military.

He says the RFMF is committed to ensuring that its personnel adhere to a strict no-drug policy, both within Fiji and when deployed abroad.

The ongoing review of policies reflects the RFMF’s dedication to maintaining a drug-free military environment and protecting the health and well-being of its members.
