On September 25, 1969, The Fiji Times published a report on the drought conditions in some islands in the Yasawa chain.
This, after a government survey team expressed shock at their findings, saying the situation was far worse than reported.
An agricultural officer with the government team had declared that famine existed in some villages they visited.
The team was led by the District Officer, Lautoka, Mike Yasa, and they went in the vessel Rogovoka to assess the drought situation and to deliver emergency food supplies to villages needing them.
May 26, 2021 02:53:08 PM Out of 93, 000 people that live in Suva only 11,401 are paying for city rates. This was revealed by the Minister for Local Government Premila Kumar in Parliament today. Kumar also said that of the 92,000 people that live in Nasinu, only 11,252 were ratepayers. She said the Suva City Council invoiced $18.4m while Nasinu could only invoice $3.1m. “That’s actually the cost of garbage collection so how do you expect the municipal councils to operate as per your visions. “So we need to consider the realities on the ground. We do understand that there are a large number of informal settlements in the Nasinu area.
