Minister for Public Works Ro Filipe Tuisawau has raised concerns over the consultation process prior to the increase in electricity tariffs.
Ro Filipe says that, as highlighted by consumers and the Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation, it appears the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission is relying on consultations conducted for Energy Fiji Limited’s previous submission rather than a new one.
The Minister also says the increase is currently under review and that, as the Minister responsible for Energy, he and the Minister for Finance are considering options going forward before holding consultations with other stakeholders and within government.
He has also raised concerns about comments made by FCCC Chief Executive Officer Senikavika Jiuta, stating that not all members of Cabinet share the same view regarding the tariff increase.
Ro Filipe says such comments constitute a breach of protocol and are an issue that needs to be addressed.
