The Fiji government is currently looking at a possible public-private partnership in regards to Post Fiji.
The Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama confirmed this at the 2010 budget announcement on Friday.
“Government is currently assessing proposals on public-private collaboration regarding the management of Post Fiji,” he said.
Bainimarama added the Government Printing is expected to be made available on the market within this year.
The PM also established that initial works on the re-organisation of the Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA) has already begun.
“The restructure of the electricity tariff rates have commenced which will buffer the poor but concomitantly reflect market prices and incentivize independent power producers (IPPs),” he said.
He said IPP’s generally use renewable energy to supply the national grid.
“This has an added advantage as it reduces our dependency on fossil fuel and is better for the environment,” Bainimarama said.
He also said the Fiji Meteorological Services Department has also been identified for reorganization with an assessment in train to determine the best option forward.
