Fijileaks: The way Kevin Deveaux decided on salary change is completely different from way the UN does it. They do a market survey, look at comparators and cost of living and set post adjustment allowance rather than full salary scale change.
*The so-called Independent Consultant Kevin Deveaux did not abide by the UN rules for salary advice, raising questions whether he was an Honest Broker or a Charlatan who has inflicted further financial pain and suffering on the people of Fiji?
"In addition, with support from the Parliament’s staff, interviews were arranged with other actors as part of the in-country interviews. However, some interlocutors were not available for an interview or did not reply to repeated requests for an interview. For example, there was no submission or interview with the Speaker or Deputy Speaker of Parliament, the Office of the Prime Minister or the State President or his office"

"The committee decided to engage an Independent consultancy firm or individual as it strongly felt it should not be reviewing its own salaries and allowances. The Committee published an advertisement calling for independent consulting firms or individuals to undertake the review and make recommendations to the committee. With no success locally, we reached out to UNDP to assist us to find an independent consulting firm, noting that UNDP would be funding the independent consulting firm, they identified Mr Kevin Deveaux. After conducting the review, the independent consultant reported back to the Emoluments Committee, which endorsed the recommendations. There were some increases, some reductions and some retained.

Fijileaks: NFP leader BIMAN PRASAD and his party, since he became leader in 2014, keep claiming that Prasad sacrificed $100,000 a year pay and perks at USP to serve the country.
*As we promised recently, we will soon put to rest his and the party's LIES, for he and his wife Rajni (USP lecturer) own plots of lands worth over $1million dollars, houses, cars, and cash in Fiji and NZ banks running into thousands of dollars.
*He could afford to vote against the pay rise, the 'Indian Paisawallah'.
Meanwhile, we let Kevin Deveaux speak to us in his 'Independent Report'
