(Suva, Fiji) In clarifying comments I had made recently on local media, I wish to make clear that there will be no reduction in the pay and allowances for the Fiji Police Force and the Republic of Fiji Military Forces including peacekeeping and rural and maritime deployment.
The above statement reiterates the reassurances of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, the Hon Biman Prasad on the issue.
This should lay to rest any rumours or wild and unsubstantiated claims of possible reduction of pay and allowances for Police and RFMF personnel.
Nothing of this sort has ever been contemplated. Nor will it happen.
