Jale Sigarara
Jale Sigarara is a Fijian politician, former Member of the Parliament of Fiji, and former Assistant Minister. He is a member of the FijiFirst Party.
Sigara is from Wainunu in Bua Province.[1] He previously worked as a civil servant, serving 20 years in the Ministry of Forests and 20 years in the Fijian Affairs Board.[2] He retired in 2014, but served as a representative on the Bua Provincial Council.[1] He subsequently ran as a FijiFirst candidate in the 2018 election and was elected with 697 votes.[3]
Sigarara was initially appointed co-assistant Minister for Agriculture, Waterways, Rural and Maritime Development alongside Viam Pillay.[4] Following a Cabinet reshuffle in April 2020, he was appointed alongside Vijay Nath as one of two Assistant Ministers for Disaster Management and Rural and Maritime Development.[5]
In the 2022 General Elections, he ran for re-election under the FijiFirst banner, and placed 35th, garnering 422 votes. As FijiFirst won 26 seats, Sigarara was unable to qualify for a seat. He was succeeded in the Assistant Minister portfolio by Ratu Isikeli Tuiwailevu.[6]
