A CRITICAL document which aims to spread Fiji’s head of State Jioje Konrote’s time, energy and resource equally among all sectors of the society was launched yesterday.

The Office of the President’s Annual Corporate Plan (ACP) 2016 will enable Mr Konrote to drive messages that will contribute to national unity, among other things, and also create greater awareness on non-communicable diseases.

This, according to official secretary to the President Pene Baleinabuli, is Mr Konrote’s additional role as a lead advocate for the reduction of NCDs in the country.

With this, the President aims to visit as many schools, youth and community groups as possible in his first term in office.

Mr Baleinabuli says the office intends to lead by example by developing and implementing a wellness policy that is consistent with Fiji’s NCD Strategic Plan 2015-2019.

“The 2016 ACP recognises the exceptionally high workrate of the Prime Minister, Cabinet ministers and senior government officials and therefore aims to ensure that the Office of the President contributes its fair share towards nation building as Fiji evolves to become the leading and highly successful nation in the Pacific and in the international society as a State,” he highlights.

The plan is aligned first to Fiji’s 2013 Constitution in that it continues to position the office to support Mr Konrote to fulfil all his constitutional obligations as the head of State and commander-in-chief of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces.

It is also linked directly to Fiji’s National Development Plans, including the five-year and 20-year plans, which are expected to be launched this year.

Mr Konrote says he intends to be a pillar of unity as the President of Fiji. In office for just three months, he states that a lot has happened.

“I’m here to serve the nation and I expect all of us (civil servants) to be servants of the nation.

“The document that was launched will help us to achieve that and I would like to ask each and every one of us to work together,” he said.
