A total of $1.48million will be paid as bonus payout to 735 staff members of the Fiji Electricity Authority.
This announcement was made by the Attorney-General, Hon.Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum at the Fiji Electricity Authority office in Suva today.
Sayed Khaiyum said that he would like to thank you for your contribution towards the performance of FEA where today we are announcing a bonus payout of $1.48m.
“We recognize the individuals based on the level of their input and productive capacity as well as the output of FEA.
“The bonus of $1.48m is a substantial amount; they will go down to the salary and wage earners, then, of course, the unit line managers and management.”
AG said that Fiji is in a very important space and that, of course, is that Fiji is the President of COP23.
“Fiji has made a pledge that we will reduce our carbon footprint by 2030, FEA plays a critical role to fulfill this request and as COP23 President, Fiji has engaged in a few projects.”
“Electricity is very critical also in terms of improving the quality of our life but important in economic development in terms of creating more job opportunities, setting up factories, setting up manufacturing plants, setting up hotels and even offices,” the AG said.
“The Government recognizes the critical role and, the Government, through the people of Fiji, must continue to play a key role in the electricity sector.”
The AG also thanked the FEA workers and management for the immense effort in providing electricity to all Fijians.
