Root of corruption must be removed in Fiji.

Cases like this never seizes to amaze me. Here we have this well educated son of Fiji who is supposed to be the beacon of hope. However it is a sad day when the people who suppose to set standards are the very same individuals doing the scams. Mis-applications of their knowledge. It is a wake up call to authorities to have more funding in place with Fiji Police and Ombudsman's office to combat white-collar criminals and abuse of public funds and resources.

If Fiji is ever going to grow up it must eradicate this practice by enacting stiffer penalties. This is an example of the decaying trend of moral fibre in Fijian society.

Are they just doing what the Enron C.E.O did. Trying what those accountants at Arthur Anderson did, now guilty of cooking the books. Or the student, who uses an online service to get his term paper written, or the Hall of Famer Pro atheletes who take steroids.
Elections get stolen in many countries and in the U.S, People get killed all the time for the wrong reasons. It's all good, huh?

Is the motives for war in Iraq similar? Of course it is. When individuals are allowed to get away for their indiscretions. This behavior sets in and down the line everyone thinks it is official policy to do that.
Star Wars Episode 3 has a wonderful one liner which sums up this moral erosion.
..."So this is how Liberty dies?"...
