DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER PROFESSOR BIMAN:
It's time to 'move on'
BY FELIX CHAUDHARY

OPPOSITION members of Parliament have been told to forget about their former leaders who abandoned them, jump on the Coalition Government bandwagon and make Parliament workable for the benefit of the country.

Deputy Prime Minister Professor Biman Prasad told the MPs it was time to “move on”.

Prof Prasad made the comments as he told Parliament the former administration had used the Immigration Department to “punish people they did not like”.

“We as a government are going to be different,” he said.

“Our honourable Prime Minister has pointed that out that we are going to provide inclusive, consultative and leadership with humility.”

He said the PM wanted the Opposition to be involved in his leadership of taking Fiji on the international stage and getting all the benefits it could get through that process of dialogue and consultation.

A parliamentary committee in Fiji has called for positive intervention measures to tackle the prevalence of crimes against women and children, as well as su***de in the country.

Presenting the findings of its scrutiny of the Fiji Police Annual Report for the period August 2018 to July 2019, Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence chairperson Viliame Naupoto highlighted the high incidence of violence against women and children as one of seven key issues.

The committee also noted that few women held senior positions in the police force, and recommended that career path planning be incorporated for all officers upon graduation. The committee suggested that clear career paths and support for the Women’s Policing Network could help the force attract the best talent in Fiji.

In addition, the committee recommended the use of the latest satellite, geo-spatial, drone, and communication technologies to address congestion on Fiji’s roads.

It also noted that the “cases of seven (7) years’ absence” clause made it difficult for relatives to process or procure legal claims or ownership to death and insurance benefits, and suggested changes to the law to address this.

“Therefore there are merits to recommending for the changes to the law, where it be amended to the existing framework (Inquest Act 1967) or creating a new piece of legislation as in the case of the UK, where they have introduced the Presumption of Death Act.”

The committee praised the ongoing Five (5) Year Reform and Restructure Project of the Fiji Police Force and recommended an evaluation of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) aligned to the NDP Twenty Year Development Plan 2017-2036 goals of the government.

The committee also noted the absence of gender-disaggregated data.

These are the women that ensure our airplanes take off and land safely. There are only 30 percent of women in Fiji in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields or STEM. We need to see more women in STEM to be able to lead in the digital age to achieve greater gender equality. You go air traffic management team! Very proud of you. Happy International Women’s Day.
