His Excellency, the President Major-General (Ret’d) Jioji Konusi Konrote launched the Official website for the Office of the President at the State House today.
Speaking at the event, President Konrote said the event marks the Office of the President’s commitment and endeavour to promote the Fijian Government’s Digital and Information Technological Transformation Reform Programme and its overall commitment in attaining service excellence and efficient service delivery to all Fijians and in some cases our international friends and clientele.
“Today’s launch is indeed historical as it is the first ever website for the Office of the President. Since assuming office in 2015, I laid out a plan to try and improve the status and image of this prestigious institution and to date, I am so glad and equally proud to proclaim that together we have accomplished several projects which included the major renovations of the State House, the official changing of its name from Government House to State House in 2017, and a new re-landscaped look to the State House compounds, the transformation of the former Squash Court into a modern-day Wellness Centre/Gymnasium, and now, the launch of this office’s first ever website!”
“The website is a new and revamped Information Technological platform to inform all Fijians and stakeholders of the primary responsibility of the President and the core purpose and functions of the Office of the President.”
President Konrote added the Website now offers both information and access for the general public both in Fiji and abroad the ability as potential employees to apply for vacant positions through the vacancy portal.
“It also informs all Fijians and non- residents about Fiji’s Honours System in our collective effort to promote a Culture of Appreciation”
“With mobile and tablet friendly functionality it enables individuals and organisations intending to nominate and recognise achievements or meritorious/ selfless service by Fijian citizens and occasionally, as honorary appointments, for non-citizens access to an online nomination portal.”
The website offers a unique and ideal opportunity for users to learn and appreciate the work and achievements of past Governor-Generals and Presidents and the invaluable contribution of present and past staff members.
