| By Fijileaks Investigative Team  FIJILEAKS sources inside Pricewaterhouse Coopers Fiji tell us that the current FEA CEO and regime stooge Hasmukh Patel got his back-pay for 2013 paid into his bank account. It was two weeks ago. This was whilst the rest of his senior management had no increment or bonus payment at all. The amount was over $100,000. Meanwhile, Patel also recently got his contract confirmed and extended for another three years. According to PwC sources, he got his salary approved and recommended at $360,000 per annum. In fact, according to the sources, Patel gave the six-sum figure to PwC and got them to work around it and provide justifications why he should be at that salary and this was given to the Board by PwC. The Board rubber-stamped it on endorsement from his crony and Public Enterprise Minister Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum. The same is being done currently with FEA's GM Operations. PwC has been given a figure by Patel and they are preparing justifications to be submitted back to the Board for rubber-stamping The PwC sources say Patel-Khaiyum-FEA Board behaviour is in sharp contrast to FEA's treatment of an engineer who has been with FEA for over 20 years. The engineer has resigned after his request for FEA to match his offer from Water Authority was refused. The engineer will start work with WAF after Patel refused to raise his salary by a mere $6,000 or match the offer by WAF. And yet the same Patel is too eager to give into expatriates whenever they threaten to leave FEA: he pays them $30-$40,000 extra to keep them in Fiji. The PwC sources say the FEA staff are so demoralised with such gross and naked double standards; only recently another FEA auditor got an increase of $20,000 on her salary and the key and crucial staff, the engineers, are ill-treated and ignored by Patel and the FEA Board, not to mention Aiyaz Khaiyum, their illegal ministerial line manager |  Hasmukh Patel full of electrifying energy - has to be for he is using his connection with Khaiyum as long as the illegal current is in the regime's favour  UNDER VALUED and exploited while their CEO Patel and his cronies swelling their bank accounts with the blessing of Aiyaz Khaiyum and the FEA Board  |
