Fiji Institute of Surveyors President Paserio Samisoni

Concerns have been raised about the increase in the number of unregistered surveyors going around and defrauding people.

Fiji Institute of Surveyors President Paserio Samisoni says so far they have suspended three surveyors for unethical practices.

Speaking at the 2nd Global Surveyors Day in Suva, Samisoni says they have received numerous complaints about unregistered surveyors which is affecting their day to day operations.

“There are 70 graduates that are out there. They are the ones who are floating around and know how to do a little bit of survey, maybe these are the ones going around and practicing and doing unethical work out there”.

Samisoni is calling on all surveyors to work to eradicate the problem of unethical practices.

He is also urging the general public to report any incidences of suspect surveyors to the institute.
