Confidence in FijiFirst Party

Simeli Bose, Lautoka

As a citizen I am taking this opportunity if I may, to exercise my right of freedom of expression to give my opinion on national affairs, specifically to give credit where credit is due.

In particular, I wish to commend Government for the welfare services it has and has been providing to members of the community and citizens of Fiji since they came into power.

More so, in recent weeks and during the past few days.

It can be confidently stated that Government is truly sensitive and responsive to the needs of all the affected community members in every aspect of their lives.

Be it in terms of social benefits for the aging, poor, needy, landless, in terms of bus fare top-ups, dwellings and house repairs, homeware, businesses, farms, schools, you name it.

But especially so after the spate of natural calamities, of flooding, cyclones, long spell of wet weather.

What is truly remarkable is the speed in which Government officials are responding in assessing, approving and delivering outcomes.

Very fast indeed.

In one station alone on last Saturday, 1000 applications were successfully processed. That's a lot!

The quick turnaround time is pleasantly surprising and literally amazing. Actually breathtaking. Indeed a breath of fresh air.

It is certainly a good example to cite for other Government departments, semigovernment and state-owned commercial services providers whose decision-making processes affect the conduct of businesses and works in everyday life.

There is no question that financial institutions are conscious of the need to change, to speed up and fast-track their decisionmaking.

This Government is capable of doing just that. And as business people we would welcome that.

So keep up the good work.

Once again I commend and congratulate Government in achieving the scope, level and pace of the services provided.

I wish to state that my confidence, that of my family, close friends and associates in voting FijiFirst in 2014 have certainly been vindicated in the manner that they have delivered their services.

Come 2018 General Election we know who to support and who to vote for.
