The comments by FMF commander of another coup has created more problems.
11 of 14 provinces in Fiji, who support the Bill can't say that they have their mandate without a scientific referendum in their respective provinces.
The time for having only a select group of unelected individuals to decide on matters that could affect everyone in Fiji; is an indication of ingrained colonial mind-set that is undemocratic and not transparent. Maybe Fiji's military should consider using their media cell to create talking points to be broadcast over the radio spectrum or T.V and maybe the internet in Fiji.
F.M.F Commander and officers seriously need to embrace technology, to enable their message in reaching rural Fijians, further and faster. Case in point, this stuck-in-fiji-mud blog!
It is a window of opportunity to break the Fiji Government's gate keeping role that has been abused for mis-information. Holding back the tide of change, for their own wicked agendas. Well, two can play that game!
The parting words of former U.S envoy on Fiji's political landscape should at least be an eye opener for the stakeholders, if they're wise to listen.
The efforts by Fiji Government officials to lash out at expatriates commenting on the R.T.U Bill highlights the immature mentality that may become an institutional norm, is the bigger concern.
Yet in light of all these factors, Finance officials in Fiji are adamant that they can still meet their target growth rate.
