Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Co-operatives, SMEs, and Communication, Manoa Kamikamica, commended Abraham’s dedication, noting, consumers are better off today because of Abraham’s leadership.

Kamikamica says Abraham’s commitment to FCCC and his passion for safeguarding the rights of Fijian consumers have left an enduring mark.

He says Abraham’s efforts have not only elevated Fiji’s regulatory standards but have also inspired a spirit of collaboration across the Pacific.

The DPM says the impact of outgoing CEO’s work, such as the creation of PINCCER, has set the stage for a stronger regulatory landscape that aligns with our efforts to protect consumers and ensure sustainability in our economy.

FCCC Chair, Isikeli Tikoduadua, also expressed his gratitude, stating, Abraham’s unwavering dedication to fair competition and consumer protection has been transformative for FCCC.

Abraham will be taking on a regional role and says he hopes to emulate the excellence at FCCC across the Asia-Pacific region.
