Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has confirmed that Ministers and cabinet will have further pay cuts.
While speaking during his first address to the nation, Rabuka says he confirms that in addition to the current 20 percent reduction imposed since March 2020, he is proposing a further cut in the remuneration for all Parliamentarians.
He says with 19 Ministers, the Cabinet is larger than he initially planned, and some Fijians will be concerned about the cost.
He adds that he has considered it necessary to appoint 10 Assistant Ministers to provide additional ministerial power needed for the enormous job of putting things right in virtually all aspects of the nation’s life.
