The Land Transport Authority has announced that they will be holding a barrel re-draw for the previously unsuccessful applicants during the barrel draw for taxi permits on the 28th of last month.
In a statement, LTA says that the re‑draw will give honest Fijians who missed out in the first barrel draw the opportunity to be awarded taxi permits that were obtained dishonestly by some recipients.
It says the re‑drawn permits will be made available based on the quota within each transport zone.
LTA says successful applicants who were granted provisional taxi permits during the barrel draw last month after filing honest and accurate applications will still be granted their substantive taxi permits after the re‑draw has been held.
The Authority says the re‑draw will take place following the 21‑day grace period announced by LTA for the return of provisional taxi permits from ineligible recipients who provided false declarations on their applications.
The 21-day-grace period ends on the 21st of this month.
