CABINET has approved the provision of additional funding to the Fiji Roads Authority (FRA).

A government statement said Cabinet based its decision on a submission by Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.

Commodore Bainimarama said the recent floods critically affected the budget of the FRA.

He said these additional funds would also cater for the establishment of the FRA.

Funds to the FRA will now be disbursed on a quarterly basis.
