Unity Fiji Leader, Savenaca Narube says he is surprised by how the salaries, allowances and benefits for the President, Speaker, Leader of Opposition and Members of Cabinet and Parliament were gazetted and this means that no consultation whatsoever will change that now.
While speaking to fijivillage News, Narube says he was under the impression because of the statement put out by Parliamentary Emoluments Committee Chair, Lynda Tabuya that there will be sanctioned consultations but apparently this is not possible.
He says this adds to the growing confusion of the people regarding the processes right from the start.
The former governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji says we need transparency in this very important issue and we need to know what happened that now the Parliament has voted to pay themselves and now it is gazetted.
Narube asks what is the point of any consultation and the Government needs to answer and say that clearly to the people.
