Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum made it clear to a concerned citizen today during budget consultations at the Sugar City Mall in Lautoka that he was not there to buy votes but to do budget consultations.
This is after the man said that he has marked Sayed-Khaiyum as a bad person after not getting the $360 unemployment assistance by the Government.
He claimed that he had texted Sayed-Khaiyum and also spoke to the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama who told him he had no authority to apply as he had not been vaccinated.
The man further claimed that he then got two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine but still did not get the $360.
He says from that time he has hated this Government.
The man went on to say that because he didn’t get the $360 unemployment assistance he also hated the Minister for Economy.
He then asked if Sayed-Khaiyum could arrange for him to get the unemployment assistance there but the Minister for Economy made it clear that the $360 unemployment assistance has closed.
The man added that if Sayed-Khaiyum could arrange for the $360, he would change his view and see the Attorney General as a good person.
Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum will deliver the revised National Budget on the 24th of this month.
