Good news for all Fiji Electricity Authority workers as they will be sharing a sum of $1.5 million as special bonus.
While making this announcement Acting Prime Minister and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says they have done this because FEA has done well in making a high level of profit.
Sayed-Khaiyum says this bonus will be shared equally amongst everybody and each worker will get approximately $1,000 to $1,500 each.
Meanwhile the Acting Prime Minister also announced that for the first time ever, FEA will be paying a dividend to the government.
He says FEA’s dividend payout to government will be $20 million which will be done by August.
While speaking to FEA workers at the bonus payout announcement, Sayed-Khaiyum says Fiji has enormous potential to do a lot better then what it is doing and the fact is that it is in a better place than where it used to be 10 years ago.
FEA Chairman Dakshesh Patel says this is a historic moment for FEA and the CEO of FEA Hasmukh Patel had come up with the idea of distributing the bonus equally.
