A Big contributing factor to drugs abuse, child delinquency, alcoholic abuse, school drop outs is broken family. Do our current laws protect families?

FAILED PUBLIC SERVANT = FAILED GOVERNMENT MINISTER.

Upon reading this The Fiji Times article in the news, I am sadden by the level of Biman Prasad DPM as to how low he can go simply to keep a pay check of $200K for the next 20 months.

It is Public Servant rule 101 that in any public conflict you are not to take side of either parties but side with law in which you swore an oath to protect and defend. The Constitution in which (again might be another topic of discussion), you also swore an oath of office to protect and defend.

The Minister is already taking side by already advocating to the tenants to be considerate of the Land Owners concerns. Firstly neither the Land owner nor tenants are to be blamed for this simple typing error but the Government than and the same to this day.

What the Minister should be doing, in accordance to the Constitution and the Laws of the Land recommend amicable common ground solutions for both Land owners and Tenants. Ofcouse you cannot make both parties happy, however that is why one needs to negotiate and again in accordance to the Law of the Land find amicable and common ground solutions. If this was the story from the past 5 decands, than you need to continue to negotiate and unless and until both parties agree.

For examble as a responsible Government, I would recommend compensating the Land owners for the demand in increase lease money if that is one of the demand of the land owners.

But siding with a conflictifng party is a clear political play in simply trying to keep the $200K pay pack.

I tend to wonder what happen in the wise words of Minister Bulitavo, the 1 man Government and 31 Ministers and assistant Ministers🫣.

Bula Re Followers,

I am currently in Bua assisting with project built. It is so good to be here and get to touch base with the locals as far and remote as this.

The locals really know what they want and boy or boy life is surely a bliss. Apart from Agriculture and normal lease money, you have assistance that has been developed from the Fiji First Government which are now benerfiting the locals.

I must salute the current Government for being so political and taking all the credit. However in due time people will surely know who has really helped make it better. Despite the struglles that most face, their is inner peace at village life.

I however wish to highlight village life is unique in the sence it has its own special way to remove the burden and pressure of the dairly life.

But despite this they silently carry on with pride. I must appluad them for doing better than City or Town life.

Its time to Make Fiji Great & Better again.

To 'that particular Fijian worker' who posted on the Minimum wage and note that we least forget.....

From a Fijian worker :

▶️In 2014 became the First Fijian Government to an act a Minimum wage, even current PM failed to do so in his 10 years of SVT rule.

▶️Through tough consultation and negotiation able to rise minimum wage to $2.32. Something to note its the big business and employers have the powers. Convincing them to buy in is not a $23 per hour job.

▶️Later in 2017 increased minimum wage to $2.68 still part of the hard work process of asking employers to buy in.

▶️Later in in late 2021 to 2022 amended the act that in over 12 months minimum wage will increase from $2.68 to $4.00 an hour something you left out in your post meaning you are miss informing people when you do so.

Therefore in 8 years in power FF not only set a minimum wage but increased it by $2.00 without even mentioning the backend consultation.

While you will never forget the promulgated Degree of October 3, 2014 of increasing salary and throwing out numbers that reflect only the salary of the PM in that case you again are misinforming the public at large. But despite this we were still than the lowest paid Members of Parliament in the Pacific and even to date.

Despite low minimum wage, you had the spending power meaning taxes were lowered and both businesses and the public enjoy spending money, something your current Coaliation Government fail to do. Thats something you fail to acknowledge.

However I agree with you on the notion that we remember. They recently voted to increase their pay as Opposition MPs, raising their salaries from $50,000 to $95,000. That’s $3,653.85 every two weeks, $365.38 a day, or $45.67 an hour. What are they promising now? More of the same selfishness, luxury, and self-enrichment?

Yes, the Coalition Government has raised the minimum wage:
🔸️2023: from $4 to $4.50 per hour
🔸️2024: Increased to $4.50 per hour
🔸️2025: Set to rise to $5 per hour

As much as you wished it happened 8 years ago, darling as a iTaukei saying goes, teri ura me damu ni kua.

Please be greatful you inheritated a better economy to the one you are running now with average browing in a year is close to FJD$0.9B. Just image in 4 years you would have borrowed extra $3.6B with that rate.

What I fail to understand is that with your interlectual post and yet you are still stuck with the minimum wage level raises many concerns. Everything is progressive, including carrier path. What I fail to understand is that you are stuck in your minimum wage level and fail to earn yourself a promotion for those 8 years and this past 2 years.

We surely deserve better and looking at the 55, there is no better in them as a group.

Signed,
💙Speaking from the Heart.

Government waisted close to $888K simply investigating the Christopher Pride hoax. Just imagine how many hospital beds could be bought by $888k.

With the recent appointments, the total salary [ALONE] spent by Cabinet is FJD$6.1M
Compare this to the cost of living for ordinary Fijians?
