Seruiratu also acknowledged the integrity and professionalism of civil servants, stressing that their efforts should not only be recognized but actively supported to ensure their continued success in serving the nation.

In line with this, the 2025-2026 National Budget announcement includes a three percent pay increment for civil servants.

The civil service, which is one of the largest workforces in the country, is vital to maintaining the daily functions of government.

Today is the commemoration of Civil Service Day and it will be held at the Albert Park in Suva.
