Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad, has announced that in recognition of their hard work, civil servants in Fiji will receive their salaries today, a day earlier than usual. This initiative aims to enhance their enjoyment of the upcoming Easter weekend.
In a statement, Prof Prasad expressed his warm wishes for a peaceful and blessed Easter to all Fijians, highlighting the significance of this holiday, which represents values of sacrifice, forgiveness, and grace in the Christian faith. He encouraged everyone to reflect on these virtues during the long weekend and to spend time with family and loved ones.
“We wish all Fijians would reflect on these values during the long weekend and take time to connect with family and loved ones,” Prof Prasad said. He emphasized that this early salary payment signifies the government’s appreciation for the commitment of civil servants and aims to help them enjoy the Easter holiday.
This announcement aligns with previous actions taken by the government, where similar early salary payments were made during festive seasons as a way to support civil servants and boost morale. Such initiatives are believed to contribute positively to the public sector by fostering a sense of appreciation and goodwill among employees.
Reflecting the ongoing commitment of the government to its workforce, this gesture not only provides essential financial relief but also reinforces themes of community and togetherness during the Easter celebrations, promoting an atmosphere of hope and unity across Fiji.
