G.C.C and Privilege.

The nation of Fiji patiently awaits a resolution by the Great Council of Chief’s (GCC) meeting currently in session. Although, many realize that, this rapid turnover in Government Executive Employees is really a coup, according to their selective understanding of democracy. This group believed that, the management change in Fiji was counter-productive to Governance.
Whilst others quip that, the employee turnover is in fact, the process of a system re-engineering itself after years of ingrained corruption, cronyism and systemic abuse.

Some political observers have noted that this could ultimately be the most challenging decision, for Fiji’s institution of aristocrats. This crisis of power brokering, could either sink or lift the prestige for this motley crew of individuals, who were born with Silver “bilo” in their mouths.

Insofar, these GCC meetings are cabal filled with as much ceremony, self-indulgence and stiff upper lip that could render the British version, as half-cocked. Many have heard the saying ”For those that much has been given, much is expected” and those concerns in Fiji are conveniently placed on cold storage, whilst a culture of decadence and exuberance sets in and poisons any ounce of goodwill and honesty that, the individual was raised on as a child.

Prestige in Fiji seems to be an unfulfilled standard that, is built into the new GCC complex, from funds loaned from Government coffers. Entitlement was the excuse used by proponents of the Chiefly system, to convert the 20 million dollar loans into a grant. When presitge and entitlement are frequently used to misappropriate then, the only loss to the nation of Fiji are the qualities of humbleness and modesty.

GCC meetings are the equivalent of a “Treadmill” simply because, there have been numerous of meetings conducted and neither of these meetings are moving the nation of Fiji or GCC any closer or further to a viable solution.

Are there any GCC solutions for unemployment, poverty and justice? How about racial politics, religious intolerance and class warfare? The many points raised by these G.C.C meetings are analogous to the horns of a Steer. That is, a point raised here and point rose there, with a lot of bull in between. This infalliable condition may be reflected in a joke taking on the subject of privilege in Fiji:

Privilege in careers was a subject discussed between a Surgeon, an Engineer and a Chief.
“Gentleman,” said the Surgeon, “Eve was made from Adam’s rib and that surely was a surgical operation.”
The Engineer remarked, “Maybe, but prior to that, order was created out of chaos and that must have been an Engineering job.”
The Chief interrupts both professionals and blurts out “Wait a minute, somebody had to create the chaos!”
