#Fiji Chairs the Joint Committee on Remuneration! As part of his role as chair of the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Governors of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, chaired the first meeting of the 2019 Joint Committee on Remuneration of the Bank and the Fund at the World Bank offices in Washington DC. The JCR considers and makes recommendations to the Board of Governors of both the Bank and the Fund on all matters affecting the remuneration and benefits of the Executive Directors of the Bank and Fund and their Alternates (Directors). In 2018, the Board of Governors of the Bank and Fund voted differently for the first time on the JCR’s recommendation, departing from the usual practice of parity between the two organizations. The other two members of the committee are the former Governor of the Bank of Finland, Mr. Erkki Liikanen and the former Foreign Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance of Cote d’Ivoire, Mr. Charles Diby. .#FijiNews #FijiPol #teamFiji #FijiFirst
WATER CONTRACT TO BENEFIT 300K FIJIANS A total of 300, 000 Fijians will soon have better access to safe and reliable water after the signing of two contracts for the Rewa River Water Supply Scheme officiated by Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama at the Grand Pacific Hotel this morning. The scheme managed by the Water Authority of Fiji represents one of the largest and most impactful infrastructure projects undertaken by the Fijian Government. “These contracts are much more than just ink on paper; they represent the continued realization of our constitutional mandate to grant all Fijians reliable access to clean water. These contracts are the promise of a new, hugely expansive network of water supply infrastructure –– a network that will directly better the lives of approximately 300,000 of our people in the Suva-Nausori Corridor, from Rewa to Tailevu. That includes villages in Sawani and the areas around Viria which will enjoy access to clean, piped water for the very first time.” The total value of these two contracts stands at $266 million and covers the design, construction and operation of the Rewa River Water Supply Scheme, along with the procurement of pipes, fittings, civil works, pipe laying and restoration works, where required. Construction is expected to take two to three years to complete. He also acknowledged the Asian Development Bank - ADB, European Investment Bank, and the Green Climate Fund for their support towards this project. #FijiNews #FijiPol #TeamFiji #Fiji #FijiFirst
PARENTS of newborns will no longer have to go through the “hassle” of presenting themselves at the Birth, Death and Marriage office after the rollout of the birth registration app. “They had to queue up, and spend their morning or afternoon waiting and filling out paperwork. Now, those days are over. That process, through this new app, can now begin as soon as they decide on the newborn child’s name, be it from the hospital bed or the comfort of their own home." #FijiNews #FijiPol #FijiFirst #Fiji

Fijian Prime Minister Voreqe #Bainimarama DENOUNCES the Arrest of Three Journalists From NZ Who Were Covering the Freesoul Incident. Here is his full statement: This morning, I was informed that three New Zealand journalists had been detained by the police for questioning. Upon learning of this situation, the Fijian Government immediately demanded their release. I understand these journalists were present in Fiji to report on the recent charges that have been brought against Freesoul Real Estate Development. It should be made clear: the news media has been an ally in accountability, helping to expose the company’s illegal environmental destruction. While Freesoul is already under investigation for breaches of the Environment Management Act of 2005, they have continued to act in ways that demand the highest levels of public scrutiny. I have spoken with the Commissioner of Police who has assured me the detention of these journalists was an isolated incident undertaken by a small group of rogue officers. A full investigation into why these officers would use such heavy-handed tactics will be undertaken, and any violations of protocol or undue influence will be met with appropriate action. The conduct of Freesoul Real Estate Development has been deeply concerning to me personally for some time. As both a Fijian who treasures our environment and a global advocate for sustainable development, I share in the public’s outrage. We need to send a strong message to Freesoul Real Estate Development, and other developers looking to cause us harm, that they are not welcome to operate in Fiji –– that message needs to be backed by law to prevent repeat offences from bad-faith developers. That is why we have been considering a law which we will urgently introduce in the next session of Parliament to permanently ban companies that blatantly disregard our environmental laws and protections. I –– together with my Minister for Environment and the Commissioner of Police –– will meet with the journalists later today to apologise for the treatment they’ve received and personally speak with them about our position on the environment, particularly with regards to development. The Fijian people can be assured, we will not tolerate any attempts to violate the historic environmental protections enshrined in our Constitution –– protections that we will build upon with meaningful legislation. We will continue to lead from the front on this issue, at home and abroad. We will continue to walk the talk, for the sake of our environment, for the sake of our way of life, and for the sake of all those who come after us. #FijiNews #FijiPol #FijiFirst #Fiji #TeamFiji
Before #FijiFirst, Most people did not see a single cent of lease money. Women weren't even considered. #SODELPA is hell-bent on taking us away from equal land lease distribution so that their members benefit more than ordinary Fijians. #FijiNews #FijiPol #Fiji #FijiParl #teamFiji
The old parties that formed previously failed governments and now sit in Opposition lack of ideas and lack of basic research. This Parliament session has exposed them to all Fijians. #FijiNews #FijiPol #TeamFiji #Fiji #FijiParl
If there was a lack of credibility in the municipal councils in #Fiji, United Nations and other regional bodies would not participate in them like they are currently. NFP and SODELPA are just in denial as usual. #FijiNews #Fijipol #TeamFiji #FijiParl
