The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has supported the 2014 National Budget which was delivered by Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.
Party spokesperson Nirmal Singh said they commend the government for an excellent budget especially its increased allocation for education, health and social services.
Singh said they thank the government for the significant increases in civil servants and discipline forces pay especially the Fiji Police Force who has worked long hours in trying to maintain law and order.
According to Singh, while it no doubt increases the financial burden on government finances, it will increase productivity and motivate workers.
He said the People’s Democratic Party is also happy with the government for the construction of cross country roads which will open up more land for development and benefit people living in remote and isolated areas.
He added the $15 million allocated for elections clearly demonstrates that commitment of the government to hold elections next year.
