Man asks for assistance regarding repossessed vehicles

Questions asked about assistance to be provided to those who are on the After Care Fund

A man who had a vehicle in Kadavu transporting goods to the wharf and another one that was usually hired out in Suva is asking for assistance from the government after both his vehicles were repossessed during the height of the pandemic.

This was because he wasn’t able to earn money to repay the loans that he had taken out for the vehicles.

While speaking during the budget consultation in Nausori, Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said that they will look into his case and see what can be done or if anything can be done.

The man also asked about the After Care Fund which is a fund for ex-servicemen.

Sayed-Khaiyum is unaware of that restriction.

The National Budget will be delivered at 7.30pm next Friday.
