Govt to re-look at cases of workers who were laid off due to “No Jab No Job” policy – AG

An inter-government agency has been set up between the Attorney General’s Office, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labour to discuss the way forward in terms of those workers that were laid off due to the “No Jab No Job” policy implemented by the previous government.

This was highlighted by Attorney General Siromi Turaga when questioned by the media if the coalition Government will be re-looking at the cases of the workers who lost their job as a result of this policy.

Turaga says the ultimate goal of this agency is to prepare a paper and present it to Cabinet for an endorsement of that policy to be reviewed.

The AG says he has met with the Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and Senior Officers of the Ministry of Health and Labour to discuss this issue.

He adds that once they present the paper to Cabinet and a decision is made the Prime Minister will announce the government’s position in that matter.
