WHO ARE THE OVERALL BENEFICIARIES?

In starting this statement I must thank the Fiji National Provident Fund for clearing the air on Lyndhurst Fiji of purchasing the property. I however with politics aside wish to raise a few certain questions.

Is Lyndhurst a Company like FIJI AIRWAYS where the record is clear that it's a state-owned company?

Apart from allowing new 10,000+ jobs which means an increase in more or new FNPF accounts opened and being filled; who directly benefits from this increase in this Business operations? Is it the public of Fiji or the private owners and friends of Lyndhurst (i.e. if Lyndhurst is privately owned)?

Why did we invest in such; can't we invest in shipping? Where do most of our people live on outer islands and they are provided regular shipping schedules like we have now? I am sure my Tua from Ono would love his name from Ono I Lau to 1e eaten every Sunday while residing in Suva?

Last and I must apologize on this question; can the Minister & Former Minister who are former staff of Lyndhurst declare that they will not directly benefit or have something going under the table that they will benefit from this deal and support the motion at the Cabinet meeting?

Despite this, we hope that Lyndhùrst will deliver and will not make Fiji, us that has our life saving saved in FNPFand regret the decision made.

Again people of Fiji need transparent and accountable decision-making.

Please FNPF your next public consultation do really hear our our inputs and not just come and present something you have already planned and use the consultation just to tick the boxes and listen to the voices of members who have supported your planned initiatives.

But then and again who are we to judge. To be honest it sets a dangerous precedent in having public funds just being diverted as such towards a privately owned company.

Meanwhile, I thought most said the previous one was the worst?

PS. My post is not a personnel attack on an individual or institution. I am merely posting this simply questioning accountability and transparency. Please do not take to heart that this is a personnel attack on you or anyone related to FNPF or Lyndhurst.

Well, we made it to the Daily this Morning. A Friend said on page 4 of Today Fiji Sun

The 2024 - 2025 BUDGET.

We are being led like sheep to the slaughterhouse. The Budget firstly has a weak opposition. Yet with a 2.3% projected economic growth; it's worrying. I am sure as a parent you would take your child for extra classes if his examination performance declined from 8% to 2.3% (that's aside from the predicted 3%).

There are so many great initiatives like SME seed funding for graduates of TELS however it still misses the mark of benefiting for all and the greater good. It has many failed promises for the many but promising satisfaction for the chosen few.

I saw my Yasa Semi Tukana being upset with the $5M allocated for Polytech. I look forward to seeing him open his High education institution and maybe they will also give him a $5M😉.

I know for sure my learned friend Tupou Draunidalo enjoying the entertainment from what she terms the Ulu Malumalumus...🤣😂🤣.

But jokes aside. We are excited about the pay rise of 7% - 20% for Civil Servants and the lols 50c increase from $4 to $4.50 (qai war aka na 2025 nai toma kina na $5). That is a failed promise of a $6.00 minimum wage. I know loyal coalition supporters reading this post will be saying sa bau rawa. If only you knew the Conversation of Parliamentary pay rise started only after 4 months into office and using USNDP Consultant to justify the pay increase of a minimum of 100%.

Allow me to elaborate. A seating MP before the ridiculous pay increase was sitting around $40K. They got a pay increase to $100k and had that last-minute 20% Covid deduction (Ragone se ratou tavi mate jiko qo) that brings them to $80k which is still more than a 70% pay increase for the MPs. Wait; sa bau rawa na 20% pay increase (depending on your salary band). I wonder if they had also hired a UNDP consultant for both the increase in Minimum wage and the 7% - 20% for the civil servants? I remember what my Tua used to say.....vakaloloma ga a puaka lalai.

Well, au se cegu stop made over there. Church tomorrow. When you have a Government Budget with a projected 2.3% economic growth, the continued increase of a projected $10.9B Government Debt, where MPs receive more than a 70% pay rise while the common people only get 7%-20% or 50c increase in the minimum wage and we continue to give big Multimillion dollar water companies tax holidays and Government having more than 70% as Operational cost with less than 40% Capital cost......is indeed a worrying sign.

That's why I interpreted the budget as sheep led to the Slaughterhouse.

Stay tuned for more.

Pay rise + Tax Free on purchase of vehicle. What about the free rent & free utilities bills? Is it also part of the amendments?

Congrations to the Ladies of MGM for the first time winning the overall Coke Cola Games girls title. Truly deserving.

To all the students, teachers parents, thank you for blessing Fiji with the 3 days of Sports Entertainment with much attained developement that accompanies it.

As always RED FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥🔥 guide my soul.

Did the Coalition Government get a private lawyer to file on their behalf quetions Rabuku and Qetaki's appointment was constitutional? Than who hired them in the first place?

"Is the Vatican dictating who governs Rome?" (That is a figure of speech and does not directly mean the 2 cities but simply using the notion of a Country within a country; if you get my drift).

Lied to Fiji we had $10B which infact is $9.4B. Now they are lying that the increase in the cost of living is paying the $10B debt

Lee Kuan Yew the late PM of Singapore.

He agaist all odds increased salary to $1M. Singapore Pàliamentarians are one of the Highest paid in the world. They did this when still growing as country competiting with the big and best of Asia. When you look back you see that against all odds this policy worked.

"In debating the motion to change the formula to calculate ministerial pay, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, then Senior Minister, put up a robust argument for paying ministers good salaries. He said that the private sector had taken away many good men and women from the Government, and without good people, the country would suffer", Lee Kuan Yew.

The same can be said with Frank Bainimarama who is not easily influenced by overnight or off the cuff puplic opinion.

ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE.

He has risen! Sa tucake!....was the song that was echoing in my ears from yesterday's Church service.

Greetings everyone. We are reminded despite our sins JESUS CHRIST has forgiven them all. At least that's what we believe in the faith we practice. Despite being guilty of sin we have through JESUS CHRIST gained Absolute Discharge.

Now I wish to reach out to the haters of Bainimarama whom I never block on this page so that can know what I believe and support for this great Leader and Former PM of Fiji.

Puamau in giving her verdict stated about AG vs Richard Naidu, despite being guilty has given an absolute discharge.

So please stop blaming Puamau for Kilavata Carrier. Madam Puamau is a dedicated worker and knowing her she dedicates her life to her work. More than all of you and us combined together.

Furthermore, it will be interesting to see if ACJ hears the Appeal from the DPP. The reason is that the Former PM has an Appeal Filed with the Fiji Court of Appeal on the decision ACJ passed on 18th March. If ACJ goes ahead; then it will be purely prejudicial on his part.

In the meantime, we wait and listen but be joyous of an occasion where we remember that truly; JESUS CHRIST has risen from the Dead.

⛔️JUSTICE⛔️
Why the rush? Are we heading into a snap election soon? Why appeal is heard this Wednesday. Where is the justice for those who have been waiting for 2 years more for the Appeals Court to Hear their hearing?

Cava 'ai; so ga e qavi ena vo e maqa?

PS. For the past 15 months the more aggresive your approach was; it bites you twice as bad in the back. Isnt that already telling you something?

You dont know I tell U😉
