Critical issues at hand for Fiji leadership.




National Alliance Political Party leader and also a Chief in his own right raises important points that all Chiefs in Fiji, should take heed:

Allowing educated commoners, to rise to the challenge of modernizing aspects essential for the bottom-up development and empowerment of the Fijian community.
Suva City Council incoming Mayor announces new programs to empower school leavers.
These political rhetoric may need an independent close inspection to ascertain it's merits.

Students are routinely used as a political football, like this un-paralleled action by Fiji Education Ministry to scale down
marks
of students who sat for external exams; only adds to the public's distrust of Government.




Even international treaties signed by Fiji Government have been routinely overlooked due to the lack of enforcement of non-criminal laws like the Turtle hunting ban, conveniently set aside to celebrate a cultural event in Fiji.

This only antagonizes potential investors to Fiji. These double standards, is an indication of Fiji Government's indecision to remove the Dichotomy in entrenched mindsets. It also raise serious questions on Fiji Government's ability and integrity, to fulfill international obligations which they are signatory to.
A fact much touted by Fiji Foreign Affairs Ministry only when it only advances their Public Relation's profile.
