State intends to remove Fiji racist elements
Government will do all it can to remove racism at all levels in the country says Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.
Speaking to the people of Nadogo in Macuata, Bainimarama says Fiji would have remained a peaceful country if politicians did not spread racist ideas.
Apisalome Coka reports from Labasa:
“Racism in the country resulted in the concerns raised by people in the north a few years back that they did not have a source of income says Bainimarama.
He made the statement while speaking to the people of Nadogo in Macuata.
He says while he was the chief of staff with the Fiji Military Forces, he was a frequent visitor to the Macuata Province as engineers were conducting a lot of development projects.
Bainimarama says it was a sudden move by dirty politicians to blame racism – and the poison spread.
He says without racism concerns would never have been raised.
Bainimarama says racism increased and contributed in the rural to urban drift and the first step his government has taken was to remove racism and start building a better Fiji.
He assured the people of Nadogo that his government will do what has never been done before in order to build a better Fiji and ensure a better future for the leaders tomorrow.”
Bainimarama ends his north tour this afternoon.
