Passive Resistance.

Radio Fiji's position as an independent media platform has been stained with incidents of interference by the recent dismissal of a popular Fijian broadcasting icon.

Maybe the dismissal of the announcer was Fiji Prime Minister's reaction, to Fiji Army Commander's new campaign of Truth to stop mis-information of rural voters.

Fiji's state owned companies must be taken to task for political inteference prior to the elections and their track record of dubious business practices.
Fiji Elections Office officials demonstrate, how much out of touch with reality; they really are. These Election officials often are misconstrued, as the default mouth-piece for the corrupt few in power.
It seems that, the arrogance of the Fiji Elections Office, has risen to alarming new heights by minimizing discrepancies within Fiji's election processes.

In addition, the arrogance of minority civil servants; will be the beginning of the end, for the majority in Fiji. Sometimes these civil servants tend to be overly bureaucratic without any ounce of proactive intiatives, along with their inflated egos which might be perceived as a political wedge.

However, in light of the malice and corruption associated with national elections, whether held in Fiji or the overseas. The Elections office will have to shoulder the burden of proof and be seen as independent, by the public and international observers. Fiji Election Supervisor has not actively conducted his work without relative bias. Irrespective of whether the bias; was direct or implied.

The propsed Audit Bill is dressed down as inadequate, by the Senator and Kadavu representative Messr Jim Ah-Koy.

Fiji needs Politicians who are not embarrassed to vote outside party lines; if the Bill concerned does not meet their preferred level of integrity, as well as not undermining the rules for transparency with the public purse. Unfortunately, individuals with that caliber are in demand, universally.


Obviously these legal loop holes in the Bill is designed to protect the powerful in Fiji society. The same layers of elite who have been short-changing the rest of the population.
