OUTRAGEOUS. Shocking. Failed PAP Speaker Naiqama openly flouts supreme law by ending a new opening prayer with the words, 'In Jesus Name'. Graham Davis: Prasad and the NFP should hang head in SHAME

12/2/2023

 

Fijileaks: It is bloody time PAP MPs and Rabuka, with the tacit silent support of NFP leader Biman Prasad, STOP invoking the former late JAI RAM REDDY's comments on the role of the Great Council of Chiefs and the elevation of indigenous rights for a peaceful Fiji. Reddy had NO MANDATE to prostrate before the CHIEFS and sell out Indo-Fijian RIGHTS. How many generations does it require for one to become NATIVE? Which descendants, that of Ma'afu or Lutunasobasoba, are real NATIVES? How can Rotumans born in Rotuma be NATIVES on the Fiji mainland, and Indo-Fijians and Other non-iTaukei born on Fiji mainland can't be natives? As we argued in 2000, Rotumans are NOT indigenous to Fiji (if we argue that Indo-Fijians and Other non-iTaukei are not indigenous), so cut the crap out that i-Taukei and Rotumans are indigenous to Fiji, and must be accorded First Nation status

The Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, also retreats on his previous commitments that all citizens be known as "Fijians" - which is also a cornerstone of the constitution. He now leaves open the prospect of a referendum " or some other measure" to revisit the issue. Another disgrace.

In a sign of a less than diligent commitment to the work ethic, the Speaker adjourns the session for "morning tea" less than 45 minutes after it began and before the Opposition leader, Frank Bainimarama, gets to his feet. O vinaka. Enjoy the purini.

And then after the break, the Pot gets up to call the Kettle black. Bainimarama accuses the Coalition of engendering a climate of fear, to the biggest kaila in parliamentary history.

And incredibly, the Opposition Leader accuses the Head of State of failing in his duty to the Constitution and failing in his role as RFMF Commander in Chief - confirming a monumental falling out between Bainimarama and Khaiyum and Ratu Wiliame Katonivere.

It is an attack on the Head of State unprecedented in Fijian political history. And Bainimarama compounds the seriousness of his breach of parliamentary etiquette to make none-too-subtle references to the rank and file of the RFMF having been betrayed by the new government.

​Is it incitement for yet another armed intervention in Fiji?

​It sure sounds like it. Shameless. Grubsheet

Fijileaks: The Coalition government is treading on political egg-shell and today's outrageous flouting of the secular provision in the 2013 Constitution by the failed PAP candidate Naiqama (652votes) will be one of many reasons if the RFMF is called upon by the already aggrieved and frightened non-iTaukei population for protection from this new government under Section 131 of the Constitution of Fiji.
*During the election campaign, we had branded NFP leader BIMAN PRASAD, Rabuka's Jinnah who, in his greed for power, will sell the non-iTaukei population to PAP and SODELPA. 
For the first time in NFP's history, the party is actually part of a government, hence Prasad, instead of flexing his political muscle to tame PAP-SODELPA excesses, will remain SILENT AS A LAMB.
But his silence will take the Coalition to the RFMF 'Slaughter House' under Section 131 (2) of the 2013 Constitution of Fiji.
As for Naiqama, we are not surprised. He was jailed for seizing the military barracks at Labasa during the 2000 Speight failed coup, and was trounced at the 2022 general election but Rabuka brought him as SPEAKER precisely to promote and push the 1987 i-Taukei agenda

DESPITE being PAP candidate, Rabuka's paramount chief, and the Tui Cakau, Naiqama only managed to obtain 652 votes. His own Northern division traditional subjects gave him only 317 votes. He has NO MANDATE to recite the parliamentary prayer, 'In Jesus Name'.
