RESIGN, you incompetent Minister of Finance: Ratu Isoa Tikoca explains why he called for the resignation of Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum in Parliament

"TODAY in a point of order, I called for the immediate resignation of the Minister of Finance, Hon. Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum. While I delivered my Point of Order, my mic was turned off. I took my seat after finishing delivering my appeal for the Minister of Finance to vacate his office

This was following a order by the Speaker of the House on the 27/08/15 for the House to sit privately, strangers be ejected and Hansard not publish the secret discussions about the state of Fiji’s Economy.

In my point of order, made to parliamentarians today, I demanded an explanation into public utterances made in the media by the Minister and his Permanent Secretary on Global Bonds and Loans.

The fact is in the 2015 Budget estimate a deficit of $363.5 million was projected, but this relies on the sale of state assets of $507.3 million and there is no sign of that happening for the 2nd year in a row. So our deficit will increase to $870.8 million. That’s just $129 million short of a billion dollars. So add to that the $US250 million that the PS Finance spoke of in June that is due next year, then we are looking at a $1.4 billion debt for all of the Governments excesses over the past few years that our young people today will have to pay.

There is also the $150 million in un-presented cheques and the unaccounted for the $100 million expenditure.

Going into the 2016 Budget discussions, we cannot have the office of the Minister of Finance filled by a man who cannot give real solutions to our economic woes. A man who can’t face the Nation and openly talk about the reality of the Economy – and has instead ordered the representatives of the People to NOT INFORM the People of the facts."

Authorized By                                   
Hon. Ratu Isoa Tikoca

 REMEMBER this LIAR during the invasion of Iraq. He was dubbed 'Comical Ali' for telling the world there was no invasion of Iraq taking place as American tanks were rolling into Baghdad; Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf - dubbed 'Comical Ali' - was the Iraqi Information Minister under dictator Saddam Hussein during the 2003 invasion:

Hat off for Ratu Isoa Tikoca! Well said and well done and about time, Ratu.

Parliament is all about openness and transparency. That is the type of democracy and freedom soldiers (even Fijian soldiers) have fought and died defending.

Not this "Sinister" Minister Khaiyum type of democracy.

And Ratu, whilst you are at the top of your game, you might as well urgently move motions to amend / delete / destroy / abrogate this very undemocratic provision of this FRAUD Khaiyum's 2013 Constitution which allows such ridiculous 'black-outs' in our Parliament.

Say NEVER AGAIN will this happen in our Parliament.

Hear! Hear! now we are screwed. They cannot hide it forever because debts have to be paid apart from the cost of running the bloody government and the military.

"Anti-government elements, mainly operating from overseas.."

And now thirty of these elements are charged with "Sedition" in the Tavua court??

Ratu Isoa Delana Tikoca for Minister for Finance. He has a diploma in construction studies from FIT and attended the Basic Officers Engineering Course at the Indian Army School of Military Engineering in Pune, India.

Even then, Tikoca is still better qualified than the dishonest Bhaiyum and Khainimarama.

Hon. Ratu Isoa Tikoca is correct, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum should resign the Finance Ministry in the interest of our Nation, but he will not.
It is farcical that a person so infatuated with himself, so concerned about his image, should be the one doing the most damage to it as he continues along his path of self destruction. One can only hope his actions will be a lesson to aspiring leaders.

Tikoca can talk now asking about the funds but they choose to remain silent during budget times... or did they show up at all. Can't be sure. Opposition talks after all done. People are entitled to the Hansard in any event. If Tikoca has said what he claims then surely Kaiyum would have replied.

Once again ASK has out smart the opposition and the useless opposition of NFP and SODELA is silent on this issue
If they feel they are gagged under media decree then in the world of technology and social media there are alternatives but maybe the useless opposition doesn't know how to have counter strategies in place

Opposition members before and after the election as well as during budget discussions totally spelled out the bleak future for Fiji. Did the public even care to listen to them! No, what is the point of blaming them now, every person who voted for FF should be blamed. Don't blame opposition, it has been doing all it can its powers as a minority. Remember the rigged election in order to gave a majority so that every thing, everything that Kai and Bai want they will do. Even asking to sell the very soul of all citizens and the dumb FF parliamentarians will vote for it. After all none of them have any sense, are just there due to personal gains. Otherwise who would ever give any shit of a thought for people like Veena, Mahen, Bala, Koya, Rosy and all. These and all other FF parliamentarians should all be charged for siding with Kai and Bai for lying to the people of Fiji. All of them for voting for Kai and Bai should be equally blamed.

1987 and 2000 coups saw an "Indian led" government thrown out. The military, chiefs, church ministers, defeated politicians and the general populace of one community got behind the guns and threw out the legally and democratically govt. Now one single "Indian" who calls himself "Fijian" and whom almost every one loves to hate and is taking the country down to the cleaners can not be taken out. Even the Opposition members are bowing down to his commands. Closed and locked Parliament sitting. Welcome to democracy and hypocricy. And those who never dreamed that one day they will be sitting in the Opposition benches are doing just that. Incredible! How the tables get turned.
