Minister for Finance Esrom Immanuel says taxi operators, minibus operators, and other sectors in the transport industry should apply to the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission if they want assistance.
The Minister highlighted this when fijivillage News questioned him on the statement made by Opposition MP Alvick Maharaj in Parliament today.
Maharaj had raised why the government has not announced any assistance for taxi operators, minibus operators, and other sectors in the transport industry, as it only announced $4 million in assistance for bus operators.
Maharaj claimed that whenever a crisis occurs, government assistance always starts with bus operators.
He questioned whether the families of taxi and minibus operators did not matter.
