The Lautoka City Council is working with recruitment firm KPMG to appoint a new chief executive officer, its board chairperson, Taitusi Rasoki, has revealed.

Speaking at the official opening of the upgraded $2.8million Lautoka bus terminal on Monday, Mr Rasoki said a capable CEO would be key to lifting the council’s standard of service delivery.

“I anticipate that if a capable CEO is appointed and working closely with the current special administrators and the management, Lautoka City Council can lift the standard of service delivery to the people of Lautoka to another level and dimension,” he said.

Reflecting on the successful bus terminal upgrade, he thanked project consultants, West End Consulting PTE Ltd and contractors, Hot Spring High Services PTE Ltd for completing the project on time and within budget.

“This appointment goes with this expectation for us to deliver and evidence of delivery is what we see here this (yesterday) morning,” Mr Rasoki said.
