Fiji Times Editorial has remarkably chosen to snipe at the Army Commander efforts, without providing solutions to the impasse.
Although some of Fiji's public have their own ideas of democracy as demonstrated by the Fiji Times coverage of a patriotic resident, who converted his house into a shrine; these individuals may be need to update their knowledge on ethics and morality; which is the foundation which the house of democracy is built on.
It is often said that, this same house of democracy in Fiji has been contaminated by native provincial entities. The same native provinces were recipients of tools purchased under the Agricultural Scam as documented by the Kunatuba High Court trial. This Agricultural scam was openly used by the Burebasaga paramount chief and Minister, to secure support for the 2006 elections.
Fiji Village reports that provincial network has thrown their lot blindly behind their own Chief and Minister.
If vote buying is among the pillars which constitute the idea of democracy by these native institutions; then unfortunately Good Governance in Fiji is nothing more than lip service.
Lip service is a convenient device used extensively by Fiji Public Service when dealing with incompetence and chronic mismanagement and corruption. Having their input on the impasse only worsens their unbiased standing.
To question the ideals of the Army and not their lethargic mis-control of over-spending, their inability to remove vestiges of colonial styled management underlines mis-direction that has plagued the civil service and the nation of Fiji more so, than the attempts to clean up by the Fiji Army.
These hidden losses amounting to astronomical amounts occur on an Annual basis and are usually published by the Auditor General. To say the Army clean-up campaign will cost the nation, the cost of inaction on ingrained corruption in Fiji government will inextricably be perpetually.
