EVR sets
pace
for
elections
REGISTRATION FOR THE 2014 GENERAL
ELECTIONS IS COMPULSORY BUT VOTING IS NOT
THE introduction of Electronic
Voter Registration (EVR) which will
also register information of 14-yearolds will set the platform for general
elections as the country heads to the
poll in 2014.
The Acting Supervisor of
Election Mr Soro Toutou said among
other benefits the EVR or Bimetric
Voter Registration would reduce the
cost of running the election in so
many ways.
Other
benefits
including
prevention of vote rigging, reduces
the cost of running an election and
makes the polling stations voter
friendly.
A one-day election is also
possible because of the EVR and all
its streamlining processes.
“This not electronic voting like
that used in the USA but electronic
voter registration,” Mr Toutou said.
The EVR will require a
fingerprint, a photograph and
other details of the voter during
registration.
“It is important to know that
registration for the 2014 general
elections is compulsory but voting is
not compulsory, ” Mr Toutou said.
“We will issue an ID card to
every registered voter. The data
collected during registration will
help government’s National ID data
collection.
“In the past poll results are
known after four or five days, that
will change.
“For instance if the election
ends at 5pm, the vote counting will
begin immediately after that and the
result determined the same day,” Mr
Toutou said.

The launch of the new EVR will
be between June to August next year.
In the last elections people who
did not vote were fined $20.
Unfortunately, the total cost of
prosecuting a single person cost
more than $100 so the Government
loses out.
“The total cost of fines for not
voting in 2006 was more than $1
million dollars but to prosecute them
it would cost more than $20 million,”
Mr Toutou said.
“A special feature of the election
reform is the registration of 150,000
young voters who are now between
the age of 14 to 17. These young
voters will be part of the 660,000
voters to be registered in Fiji next
year.
“Those who are 14 this year
will turn 18 in 2014 which mean
they must register,” Mr Toutou said.
“There are two options, it’s either we
go to schools or wait until they are
16 or 17 years old to register them.”
Mr Toutou said the EVR
Working Group would decide which
options to take.
“It will be much easier to
use the EVR in Fiji because of
the streamlining process and the
Proportional Representation List
System. The Election Office is also
aiming at reducing the number of
election boundaries from five to four.
Another improvement is the
reduction in the number of ballot
boxes used during election, now that
only one ballot paper will be used.
“We will be using transparent
boxes to enable us to see the ballot
paper and not the content as the
paper will be folded.”
Fiji could soon export $20million
worth or more of processed
fish to the European Market if
things go out well following an
inspection visit by the EU’s Food
and Veterinary Office (FVO).
Fiji’s Ambassador to the
European Union Mr Peceli Vocea
told the hearing of the European
Parliament’s, Committee on
International Trade, on the
Pacific Interim to open its doors
so that small countries like Fiji

could benefit.
Subsequent FVO inspections
have been made with the latest
one being undertaken early last
month.
“From my own discussions
with Fiji’s Competent Authority,
and a visit to a fish processing
plant in Fiji and the positive
feedback from the EU funded
consultants for Strengthening
Fisheries Program (SFP), gives
me optimism that Fiji is highly
likely to be reinstated as an
authorised exporter of fish
products to the EU,” Mr Vocea
said.
The SFP consultants were in
Fiji in May this year and have
given a positive assessment of
at least one company, which
has fully met the conditions to
be listed for approval, to export
fishery products to the EU.

The European Union must
help Fiji so that it is able to
supply sugar to our major
sugar buyer in Europe says
our ambassador to the EU, Mr
Peceli Vocea.
Although we have been
given the security of market
access, Fiji has not reaped

arrangement.
This is because our sugar
production and consequently
exports have been indirectly
affected by the EU policy to
withhold sugar funds under
the Accompanying Measures
Support Program (AMS),
which Fiji is entitled to as a
signatory state of the ACPEU sugar protocol.
These measures were
meant to offset the impact of
the EU sugar policy reform,
which entailed a cumulative
36 per cent price cut that was
progressively implemented
from July 2006.
Mr Vocea says the
decision to continue to
withhold sugar funds under
the AMS Program in Fiji’s
view “is due to a perceived
lack of Fiji’s political
progress and understanding
of our situation”.
He said EU did not
know that this decision
had
far-reaching
and
detrimental impact on the
Fijian economy, the lives of
the poor farmers and many
more who were directly and
indirectly associated with the
industry, their families, and
the productivity of our sugar
industry, as a whole.
These in turn, affect

with whom Fiji has had a
well-established long-term
relationship.
“Without adequate supply
from Fiji our buyer in Europe
would be worse-off, as a
result of a lack of access to
raw materials,” he said.
“I wish to re-emphasise
that our decision to signing
the Interim EPA, was based
on a clear understanding that
the continued market access
would ensure maintenance of
stability and viability of our
sugar industry, which is so
crucial to the socio-economic
development of Fiji.”

“In order to unlock
these potentials a robust

cooperation,
adjustment facilities and
technical cooperation are
vital, and these will ensure
that some of the smallest
economies in the world are
able to enter into meaningful
trading relations with the
world’s largest economic

She once lived in a shed with only
dismantled roof and muddy soil to
cushion her sorrows.
Life for the 55-year-old Phool Mati
(pictured), of Navo, Nadi turned upside
down when her husband died in 2005
and she had no one to turn to except
the Government’s Poverty Alleviation
Program (PAP) which gave her a new
life.
The recent visit by a delegation from
the International Poverty Reduction
Centre in China (IPRCC) headed by the
Minister for Social Welfare, Women and
Poverty Alleviation Dr Jiko Luveni to the
PAP project sites in Nadi, gave light on
this woman’s story. Mati initially lived in
October 30, 2010
Votualevu and after facing eviction from
their land and the death of her husband
she had no where to go. Her two sons
were married and lived their own lives,

survival.
Recalling the painful days when
she didn’t have any choice but to live in
a shed with little to eat and left on the
mercy of her relatives, Mati applied for
government assistance.
“There were days when I cried and
living in that shed at night has left me
with bitter experience. While living in
that shed I dreamt of having my own
house one day,” Mati said.
Her prayers were answered when in

Under the PAP housing project Mati
was then assisted with a two-bedroom
house with kitchen and proper toilet
facilities. The total costs of the project
came to $5000 and Mati said she longer

previously experienced under the shed.
Apart from being blessed with a
house Mati said she receives monthly

reduced between the period 2002-03
to 2008-09. However, in a recent
interview he states that the future for
the Fiji Economy looks extremely
bleak and poverty looks set to rise
further.”
The permanent secretary said
at the national level, poverty levels
had fallen from 35 per cent to 31 per
cent. Breaking this down into rural
and urban, the urban poverty has
declined from 28 per cent to 19 per
cent a major reduction of 9 per cent,

however in the rural areas
poverty has raised from

right track compared to the highly precarious state it was in
when the Government took over in 2007, says Dr Mahendra
Reddy.
He was highlighting the government’s achievement in
growing the economy and responding to negative assessments
made by professor Wadan Narsey
“Proffessor Narsey’s article focuses on government’s role
in determining the course of growth of Fiji’s economy. This is
rather unfortunate. Apart from government policies, there are
other important factors that shape Fiji’s economy which is
beyond control.”

thus diverting state funds to infrastructure building,” Dr Reddy
said. “However, despite all these adversities, the economy is
robust and poverty is brought under control. This was the
stabilisation era. 2011 and onwards will be the growth era for
Fiji. You can’t achieve growth without stabilising the economy.

megawatts of electricity hourly with
an annual output totaling 101 GWT
of electrical energy.
With that kind of output, Mr
Gibson said FEA’s dependence
on fossil fuels would be greatly

“FEA estimates a decrease of 20
per cent reduction in fuel costs for
Viti Levu,” he said.
The project that is scheduled to
be opened in August 2011 involves
the construction of a dam upstream
of the Sigatoka River near the
convergence point of the Nukunuku
and Qaliwana Rivers.
The dam is 43.5 meters high,
87.83 meters long and is 8.5 meters
wide at the top.
It can store a minimum capacity
of one million cubic meters of water
and a maximum of two million
cubic meters.
The water is passed through a

steel penstock 1.4 kilometers long
which delivers it to the power house

State builds solid base
TO capture the power of the
rural economy, the Government
has embarked on infrastructural
developments in a major way
according to the Prime Minister
Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.
Commodore Bainimarama
said government’s insistence
on the need for villagers and
rural dwellers to utilise the land
better and engage farming at a
commercial level was thoroughly
watered down by the lack of
infrastructural developments like
roads, bridges and electricity.
He said farming efforts would
be wasted unless Government

A total of $49.417million was
budgeted for infrastructural works
in rural areas that includes the
replacement of bridges, upgrading
of rural roads, road upgrading on
Rotuma, Nausori Highlands and
the Fiji Road Upgrading Projects,
which mostly cover the rural areas.
About $29.31m has been
expended to date.
Electricity supply is also critical
in the development of businesses in
these areas.
