The proposal to increase the staff establishment of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) Engineers Regiment has been agreed by Cabinet.

The increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters in Fiji exacerbate the problem of manpower shortage in the Regiment, thus the proposal to increase the establishment.

The increase will be subject to the normal budgetary process.
