There is confirmation this morning that the Public Service Commission has paid more than 880 thousand dollars to the Kadavu Holdings for the empty office space at Kadavu House located in the heart of Suva.
This revelation comes despite the comment by PSC Permanent Secretary, Taina Tagicakibau that no such payment has been made for Kadavu House.
However Kadavu Holdings Manager Ratu Sela Nanovo disputed this comment this morning and stated that a total payment of more than $884 thousand dollars has been made by the PSC for August to December 2007.
Ratu Sela said the agreement was signed with former Interim Public Service Minister, Poseci Bune and the rent had to be backdated due to the delay by the PSC to occupy the building.
We have spoken to Tagicakibau again and she said they are still talking to Kadavu Holdings about the agreement and as far as she knows, no payment has been made. She will make further comments later this morning.
It was agreed last year that PSC would move into the newly built Kadavu House after its completion.
