They have been responding to the talanoa about cooked books, inflated pay and allowances, dodgy characters getting cosy with each other, and bad investments. Ultimately, members just want answers from the people holding "our money".
Enter the CEO and three executives of FNPF Taito, Alipate Waqairawai, Jaoji Koroi and Tevita Nagataleka.
"This is not a public relations exercise," said Taito after the Rakiraki meeting.
"We have identified a problem and we want to fix it. My managers can be out here but I decided on the three executives out of respect for the retired pensioners. I also cannot decide on changes sitting in my office. I am out here to hear it from the pensioners themselves, a key stakeholder in this whole exercise."
Aiyaz Khaiyum regime PUBLIC Relations exercise!!!!!

The CEO has so far been largely unscathed in the west meetings. He instead has received praise and admiration from participants who think he has demonstrated excellent leadership.
Even when fronting aggressive and angry members, Taito has remained calm and level-headed throughout. He politely listens while they vent their anger/frustrations before he answers any queries.
Yeah! try telling them that without the RFMF behind your ass ..... they'll kill you........... hahaha!!!!!!!!!!
