Although the dust has settled on Fiji's electoral battlefront, SiFM anticipates more skirmishes in the undergrowth of a fledging democracy. The process of reforming Fiji's electoral system is a intellectual exercise, long overdue. Along with the national census.
S.I.F.M welcomes the Government of Fiji and will be looking forward to raking in more muck during their next term of 5 years.
F.L.P's precense in the cabinet will lobby for the deferrment of contenscious Bills, like the Reconcilliation Tolerance & Unity Bill. The newly appointed Ministers have an uphill task in rectifying the ingrained inefficiencies.
The gender ratio of the Ministers overwhelmingly slanted to the male segment, a fact that V.3 highlights. Vakaivosavosa: Gender and the new Parliament.
The recent announcement of a re- shuffle of C.E.O posting is a dynamic action needed to overcome the inertia of stagnation, abuse and corruption.
For a man recently charged with inciting mutiny during the post 2000 coup events, Messr Sitiveni Rabuka should now exit the stage and avoid making comments on Fiji's Governance.
SiFM agree with his rights to Free Speech however, his credibity in such matters is debatable and the Fiji media should now look to more respected sources.
First item on the agenda, the apalling water distribution system in greater Suva area.
Note the British Petroleum logo spray painted on the side of the 44 gallon drums, used to store water. Due to the utter mismnagement of the Public works department, Fiji citizens are resorting to this abysmal practice.
SiFM suggests that, the B.P oil company donate 10% of their profits; to revitalize the demand side of the water distribution network in Fiji to attone for their sins, depicted in this photo.

If Mick Beddoes is given Leader of the Opposition, what will Mahend do? Can he be Shadow Minister of Everything? He already threatens that the joint Cabinet might not work if his Labour Party is not consulted on appointments of Speaker, etc. Well, so far so good.
ReplyDeleteIt is an opportunity for members to vote according to their conscience and keeping in mind their constituency, rather than the party.
And who appoints some of those Senators - if Mick Beddoes has the say, what will Mahend do about that?

Yeah - I believe in a better way too.
As the fairy dust of the election and the multi-party cabinet settles, I hope the guys with fat cheques now really get down to work on a decent water supply, etc. I'm tired of hearing of my family in Suva having dry taps. And hearing stories of friends' relatives dying in a hospital from what started as a simple illness. Stop the feasts and long prayers and be practical, that's my view.

I think the deaths of 4 infants is the by product of poor water supply. Could the use of oil drums be a factor?
ReplyDeleteNow we hear of monthly tests not been conducted by various city/town councils and Ministry of Health team reporting the source of illnes was the tap water. Was this tap water delivered or the piped source?
Heard from a source that said P.W.D deliberately cuts water off to get under the table cash by the contractor for carting water.
Now the new Minister Rob Irwin has uphill task of floating a sinking ship.
Downstream pipe networks bursting at the seams.
