Hey, when will we get around to realising that there is No Rule Of Law in Fiji; only the whim of the dictator and his crony ministers who decide on things not on the basis of the public good but what serves the interest of their cronies iin big business.

Yep

Too true, if the public good was their primary concern which it should be for any good government then they would not be giving away mangrove lands to the Chinese or any developers.

Oiii

I thought the land belonged to different i-taukei owners under the 2013 Constitution of Fiji?

Under the 2013 Constitution half of all land, the forests and the sea belongs to Ratu Bainimarama - to do what he pleases with it - and the other half to Ratu Kai.

The rest can drink their home brew under the mango tree.

Incompetent idiots

This happens when incompetent people are in roles that have
given to them by the government, regardless of their experience, qualifications and knowledge. In other words, employing or promoting without testing the candidates' merits.

It happens in the public service and other government agencies including the NLTB. What a shame that people have to engage lawyers to point out NLTB's blunders.

And as Fijileaks puts it - HOW MANY MORE OF THESE BLUNDERS HAS nltb made in the past??

agree

Now they (NLTB) want to duplicate the records of the VKB by wasting money on a new round of registration for native landowners in the villages - the result of which would be to omit those people outside the village esp those activists out there most of whom live outside the village but whose names are in the VKB. The Opposition parties should be asking the tough questions - who pays for this inefficient exercise when names and dates of birth are already on the VKB for all mataqali members? Or is the TLTB part of the Ministry of Public Enterprises while the Native Lands and Fisheries Commission is being abolished together with its records?
