"Fiji’s police, doctors and nurses are the big winners as civil servants and disciplined forces are to get pay rises of between three to nine per cent from 2012.
The Police Force, with a nine per cent pay rise, and doctors and nurses - six per cent – get the largest increases.
Announcing the 2012 Budget in Suva today, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama said the pay rise was not a cost of living adjustment, but an adjustment to make the sector more competitive with the private sector.
“Government employees should not take a back seat to workers in the private sector.
“Pay is an important incentive for keeping highly skilled and talented Fijians from leaving the government for jobs in the private sector,” he said."
