ALIEN CONCEPT: Khaiyum's race equality mantra in Civil Service cuts no ice with Kubuabola's Foreign Ministry; while Indo-Fijians are forced to retire at 55, their Fijian counterparts are still employed by Kubuabola!

(1) Mere Tora: 66 years still on posting to NZ as First Secretary;
(2) Losana Ravuso: 60 plus still in Sydney as Counsellor;
(3) Vani Samuwai: 60 plus still First Secretary in Malaysia [was recalled after retirement]  
They all have finished the 3 year term but continue to get extension. We are wondering why Indo-Fijian officers who are highly qualified not considered for posting. These officers on reaching 55 years are immediately sent home so why FFP is practicing double standards?

New flag to take us into the future - Bainimarama

Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama says he would like the country to have a flag that takes us into the future, to where we are going rather than from where we have been.

While speaking at the commissioning of the Naitutu Electrification Project in Namena Tailevu, Bainimarama says the new Fiji flag, always with our beloved Fiji blue, can stand for the kind of people we are, the kind of nation we aspire to be and the kind of country we will leave with our children.

The deadline for the new Fiji flag design submissions is February 29th
.
Bainimarama says the government will select five designs to before the people in March.

He confirms that there will be a national consultation on the designs.

The Prime Minister says the new flag will tell the world that Fiji is a modern country, a leader in the Pacific, and a country on the move.
Meanwhile the electrification project has been completed at a cost of $44,319 and will provide a reliable supply of electricity to nine families in Naitutu settlement.

Bainimarama says he will not tolerate a Fijian society comprised of the haves and have-nots or a society that rewards privilege over merit.


He says the government is committed to giving every Fijian an equal shot at life, no matter where in Fiji they call home.

The Prime Minister says this starts by taking infrastructure and essential services to the rural and maritime communities.

Double Standards
18/2/2016 08:52:29 pm

I guess when it comes to double standards we need to look at the bigger picture and not only focus on Kubuabola - I am not a racist, but why is that all high post are given to Indo-Fijians & Muslims? Can some one name an iTaukei that has his own buisness something as big as Tapoos, Jacks of Fiji or Prouds? Because I can not think of any ...

Were the owners of these big businesses you mention given them?

No, they worked hard for them. They took a gamble and risk and it was their own skills, sheer determination and dedication to working hard that made them a success.

They provide products that enough people want, it's really that simple there's no magic in it.

These businesses were built because of sacrifice - working after hours, family helping out, some missing meals because there were none. No kerekere, No malua fever. You can either run a business or charity. Go vuli mada na Bisinisi 101 naita!

Khaiyum selects Muslims on " merit". Kubuabola selects Fijians on
" merit". And Bainimarama selects his military mates on " merit ".
That is the "merit" based " new" Fiji the coupist Bainimarama and his cronies have created since taking power unlawfully and one which chamcha Ashneel Sudhakar boasts about.

When the world’s most pitiable IP Thief (CHOR) Bainimarama starts to talk Philosophy -it makes me puke.

Why doesn’t Bainimarama just go (or sent Khaiyum) to STEAL Bulgaria’s flag (or Tonga’s) as their own.

Cut the crap man and leave our Flag alone – You deplorable Puppet of a Thief!

Mere Tora got posted in 2009 to Wellington at the age of 60 and is 66 now but is still around when during that time people in government were sent home at 55,7 years at the same posting and getting paid two salary one in Fiji and NZ.Her Second Secretary an indo Fijian officer resigned on posting in Wellington because his term was strictly for 3 years, fairness in FFP government under Kubuabola.. Losana Ravuso had retired on posting in 2013 but was never recalled instead was given another term for 3 years.Vani Samawai retired in the posting at Malaysia in 2010 but returned to Fiji in 2011.Then in 2012 she got posted again to Malaysia and was appointed back in to the civil service whilst at home on retirement.What is so special about them ?? Just look at the representation at the Fiji mission aboard?.. Gujees who funded the bankrupt kubu are on mission like lodhia and punja..hardworking civil servants just suffer in silence nothing else..FFP one Fiji for all Bull shit..

Being a Diplomat posted overseas is not a job like filling petrol as service station. Special skills required. Not ment for majority kaindia due to their immature and selfish attitude. Just have a conversation with kaindia headteacher/ school principal or senior public servent for few minutes and you will know what I mean.

They speak too fast, voice tone irritating, hindi on edges of syllables, gossip about their superiors, secretive and play office politics. This is what you do not want when posted overseas as a Diplomat.

Minister IK knows this that is why he hanging with the best he got. I see no racism.

Naibino- the special skills you talking about is called Masi Polo to Kubuabola n the Foreign Ministry.Qualified civil servants are identified and are given diplomatic training by another racist Mataitoga but how many of them are given posting.. None .. The best are identified and trained but no chance with suckers like Tora, Ravuso and Samawai are holding the post and not letting it go .. By just masipolo nothing else ..

As a Kaindia I have no problem in agreeing with what you say about Kaindia's being unfit for certain higher official positions. That is certainly true for some Kaindia. Especially the variety who get appointed through arselicking rather than because they possess the requisite skills and qualifications. The same is no doubt true for other ethnic groups.
Take for example the ethnic Fijian diplomat fellow who pinched a poodle in Korea.
Inoke Kubuabola has no problem with Kaindia's who are prepared to grease his palm.

Naibono, you are looking into a mirror and talking about yourself.
You are saying kaindias are not good for diplomàtic posting? Think again. The way itaukei kindy dropouts are being posted on diplomat postings, one can assume what they are doing there.

Just one example:
Look at the level of education and experience of Nazhat Shameem n compare with Those military bosoz sent on diplomat postings.

What A pitty that such low grade itaukei ppl are selected by I K.

Racism at its best

But Khaiyum speaks well - He even does 'Hoof Hoof" in our Parliament towards your Ratus calling them Monkeys. Now that's the kind of KaiIndia kulinas like you deserve. And your spelling is as pathetic as your reasoning.

So what about my fellow i'taukei Neumi Leweni, the ex bugler in the Army who raised to the rank of Warrant Officer, then to Captain and now Lieutenant Colonel as Consellor in the Fiji Embassy in Beijing!!

He cant even right a sentence in correct English! He did not even attend officer training or even staff college. So what special skills does he bring to the position?

We ex-service types are appalled at the 'masipolo' types who have gravitated to important positions under this regime.

So, the bottom line is this : we should stop worrying about ethnic balance because at the end of the day it does not matter one iota!

What matters are your 'masi polo' skills.

Editir let me add another name to the list of over 55 itaukei still in service. The name is Ben Salacakau who was first sent to South Africa as A Diplomat and now he the Principal of Marist Brotherz.
This Ben was headboy of Marist when Bai was a student there. So that relationship will never let Ben retire till Bai is in control.

The only kind of equality Khaiyum believes in and subscribes to is the Animal Farm kind. Preaching equality is one thing. Anyone can mouth it. Especially a scheming politician like Khaiyum. The real test is in the practice. Khaiyum has handpicked his relatives and cronies for position . His is a false commitment to equality.

Yeah, blame it all on Khaiyum. This is you kulina itaukei's biggest problem. Everything is made out against ASK while you sit on your big arses just complaining whole day. While your hardworking wives are out fending for the family! One day you'll blame the hot weather on ASK. Whining boci!

Naibono - just for your information the current Second Secretary @ Fiji High Commissioning London UK, is form 4 fail.He was domestic assistant but then promoted and posted by kubuabola ..racist pig.. The pre-requisite to be Second Secretary is degree .. Many qualified itaukei officers have that also speak better than Indo Fijian as said by friend Naibono but they lack masi polo skills .. All posting are done our by IK are those who lick his ass .. Even drivers from his Ministry are now on posting ..

When regime lackey Robin Nair was training people for diplomatic service did he teach them about the importance of masipolo over and above everything else to qualify for service?
Nair himself was a good role model of the masipolo type.

Kubobola was the General Secretary of Bible Society of Fiji pre coup 1987. Then he took up the banner and a thick Bible in his hands and marched through the City of with other protesters telling the kai idias to go back to India. It was noqu kalou, nogu vanua. An elder from a Baptist Church who had his very own Pastor/Minister, J Eggerr booted out of Fiji! In cohoots with other like minded people, like some Methodists ministers such as Lasaro and Raikivi and other fellow "Christians" like Gonelevu, they hatched a plan to take over the elected Govt. He has aptly earned the titles of a viper, a hypocrite, a wolf in sheep's clothing ......and such "believers and so called Christians blaspheme the name of the Lord amongst the non believers". He truly is a demonised rascist wanting to be an angel of light.

The culture of nepotism and racism in civil service is here to stay for a very long time. Until all the racists ministers, PS and hr personnel are booted out, there is no chance of merit based recruitment. As some said, the only merit that most ministers and ps are looking for is how good a masipolo is one if it is male and how good one is in bed if female. For indo-Fijians, their merit for a position is measured by how good they are in greasing the palm for males and how good in greasing the polo in bed for females. That's the only kind of merit that works. No amount of qualufication is going to be any good. I have applied countless times and not even called for an interview once. Some high school failures with me previously are now occupying diplomat posts. Speaks volume of the recruitment culture of IK and the lot.

Talking about 'merit' - what about Francis Kean being posted as Fiji High Commissioner to Malaysia?

Where is the merit in a convicted murderer being given a diplomatic post?

Selective facts as usual. You guys forgotten about Nidhen Singh who has been Counsellor at the Embassy in Brussels for over 20 years, is well over retirement age? Useless but we paying his mortgage so IK supports him to stay on.
