The divide and rule tactic of this Government has prevented the private sector from reaching its full potential which has cost the country jobs and incomes, claims Unity Fiji party leader Savenaca Narube.
The former governor of Reserve Bank of Fiji highlighted this in an alternative budget by the political party.
In the alternative budget, to support the private sector, he proposed that $100 million to be invested to assist small businesses, over $100 million in outstanding VAT returns be released to help cashflow, introduce more transparency in the tender process where the minister is required to publish all exemptions from the rules of the tender process and remove the long wait for government approval of all matters in starting and operating a business.
