NFP to reduce salaries of PM and Ministers by 25% if it forms Govt
Professor Biman Prasad

The National Federation Party will reduce the salaries of the Prime Minister and Government Ministers by 25 percent if the Party is able to form government next year.

While addressing party supporters in a Working Commitee Meeting in Ra today, Party's leader, Professor Biman Prasad says this will be their immediate step.

Prasad says immediately after reducing the salaries, they will then appoint an independent emoluments committee which will look at the appropriate salary and other benefits of the Prime Minister and Government Ministers.

NFP's leader has also told its supporters that they will remove the proposed village by‑laws if it gets implemented by the government.

He says this will be one of the main priorities if they are able to form government.

Prasad says they regard this as the Fiji First Government's attempt to control the lives and destiny of the i‑taukei community in the villages.

Prasad adds they will also throw the Parliamentary Privileges Bill out if it gets implemented.

Biman Prasad has also stressed that for next several months, they will listen to the people of Fiji because he claims that the current government has stopped listening to the people and is instead telling people what to do.
