A letter from Sue to FNPF Board

Sirs 
You will see that this letter is sent to you in my name. Other than that you know absolutely nothing about me or my circumstances. In fact, I am quite sure that you know next to nothing about any FNPF pensioners – each is merely an FNPF ‘number’. The Nazis gave numbers to the inmates of concentration camps – they didn’t care about who those people were, either. 

You are aware of the huge turnout at the latest hearings. You cannot have missed the fact that there was even a walk-out in Labasa. Your senior pensioner scapegoat is now invalid; because the ‘little pensioners’ are mad as hell, not at the big pensioners, but at you, the board. They see, all too clearly, that if you go for the big fish, the little fish have no hope. They know all too well that a thing done once can easily be done again.

This whole ‘reform’ saga has been a comedy of errors right from the start – a start which the members knew nothing of until they were called upon to offer submissions to the board concerning a necessary FNPF reform. Only, of course, that is not strictly correct, since for the past decade and more letters to the Editors of our daily rags plugged away consistently at the need for reform and those warnings, many of them penned by Mrs Talei Burness, were blatantly ignored – how ironic is that? 

The initial call for submissions was a sham and that fact was blatantly obvious. Right from the start the FNPF knew where it was going and how to get there. Two sets of circumstances were manipulated to ensure that the fund would ultimately be wrested from its owners, that is, the members.

Dear Mr Kodagoda and Associates
Further to my earlier emails that you have acknowledged ( but not answered the points that I have raised )   there are further matters that I wish to bring to your attention.

The first of these is to your advertisement in the Fiji Times of 16 July 2011 entitled  “FNPF CLARIFIES PENSION REFORM”. I previously drew your attention to this in my email of 27 July 2011.

Jackson Mar’s Letter to the FNPF

Our dear Directors and Trustees, I fully support issues raised in Ross McDonald’s email below. In addition, I would like to add the following:

Ultra Vires the Law Cap 219 Section 12B (1) 

(a)   (i) This section states that any duty by the Board as trustees to be in the best interests of all beneficiaries of the Trust (including the 1209 pensioners whose pension rates the FNPF is about to reduce). The Board is neglecting in its duty as trustees to this class of pensioners and is breaking the law.

Ross McDonald’s email to Kodagoda 28/7/11

Kodagoda, letter

This is a copy of Ross McDonald’s excellent email to Kogagoda of FNPF, it is well worth taking the time to read it all.

Dear Mr Kodagoda & Associates
Further to my earlier emails concerning FNPF pension reforms I refer you to the newspaper advertisement placed in the Fiji Times on 16 July 2011.   This has inaccuracies and simply causes further confusion that leads to further questions being asked on just what FNPF is deciding with these reforms and is the very cause of undermining, misinterpreting and spreading of false information that you are so vigorously objecting to.   These are just some points that need mentioning. There are many others that I will raise in later emails.

The good, the bad, the ugly and the sad
It is gratifying to read that 9,627 pensioners are not going to have their pension reduced.  This is the good news.   The bad news is there are 1,209 pensioners who are going to have their pensions reduced.   And the ugly news is you won’t tell us 1209 pensioners what you intend to do, and the sad news is, you seemingly just don’t care.
