The big one on the front page of The Fiji Times’ edition for Tuesday, August 23 is an interesting take on the FNPF.

HEADLINES

Here are some headlines inside:

  • The Suva Central Business District (CBD) sewer catchment has the dubious record of being the highest source of infiltration of storm water into Water Authority of Fiji’s sewer systems.
  • TYRES used for coastal erosion mitigation along the Tikaram Park beachfront have now become a pollutant and an eyesore for Lami residents and the public.

PAGE 5

  • ALL Governments in Fiji have held Fiji National Provident Fund bonds, says Economy Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum. He made the comment in response to a press statement and comments made by Fiji Trades Union Congress national secretary Felix Anthony at the launch of the International Transport Workers Federation’s ‘Making the Fiji National Provident Fund Work for Workers’ report last Thursday.
  • THE reduction in Fiji National Provident Fund contributions over the past two to three years from 10 per cent to five per cent will have a long term impact on low income earners, says Fiji Trades Union Congress national secretary Felix Anthony.
  • Mr Anthony says it should be a cause for concern that 80 per cent of Fiji National Provident Fund members had balances less than $20,000 because they will not be able to sustain themselves when they retire.

PAGE 7
