FIJI Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry says the increase in fuel and gas prices as of today is “insensitive”.
In a statement issued yesterday, he said “at a time when our troubled economy is facing even further contraction, it is the height of insensitivity for the Government to allow hefty increases in fuel and cooking gas prices”.
“It seems that the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) is completely oblivious to the suffering of our people and the downturn in business and economic activity as a result of the current Covid crisis,” said Mr Chaudhry.
