THE National Federation Party is calling on the Fiji Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) to conduct public hearings on the issue of submissions following Energy Fiji Limited’s submission seeking a 17.27 per cent increase to electricity tariff per unit.
Party leader Professor Biman Prasad during a press conference today said the FCCC needed to immediately advertise in both newspapers.
He said increasing the electricity tariff per unit was a further blow to the ordinary people because it would further escalate the rising cost of living.
“The cost of living is already unsustainable,” he said.
