SODELPA MP Ro Filipe Tuisawau has questioned why the appointment of the CEO of Fiji Development Bank has been delayed.
He says the position has been advertised several times after Mark Clough ended his term in late 2019.
While contributing to the motion for the government to guarantee $170 million for the FDB, Tuisawau says it was said that an appointment will be made in January 2020 and it is now over one year and no appointment has been made.
Tuisawau says his view is that FDB has been paralyzed by the lack of a CEO and a compromised board.
He says FDB needs a CEO who can work closely with farmers and landowners.
Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum will give his right of response this afternoon.
