The Namosi provincial company which owns Namosi House has not received a single cent from the government over the last 8 months after the Ministry of Health occupied the building situated at Amy Street.

Provincial Company Manager Viliame Taukeinikoro said he is trying to engage in talks with Finance Permanent Secretary Peceli Vocea to discuss the matter.

He said the earlier tenancy agreement reached is $25 per square foot and they have agreed with the Finance Ministry to reduce the amount to $24 per square foot and to be reviewed after 2 years.

Taukenikoro said the company is finding difficulties in paying the loan to commercial banks and they are only paying the interest.

Vocea could not be reached for a comment.

Meanwhile, former magistrate Eroni Sauvakacolo from the Lutu Cooperative Company said they are not like other provinces and tikinas who build buildings in major cities and towns for rent, but the money from rental payments do not go down to the ordinary people.
