The ridiculous provision that allows election losers under Khaiyum's D'Hondt system to take up seats in Parliament is a mockery of democracy? In his obsession to hold on to the majority of seats, he decided not to include the by-election provision in his 2013 Constitution. Khaiyum should gazette that all students who failed their courses should be awarded their degrees or those who missed out on Civil Service jobs should be ready to take up positions vacated by successful candidates. SODELPA and other parties should be ashamed of accepting such a provision (and sending their own losers to Parliament) as they prepare for the next general election. There can't be two systems - one for parliamentarians (losers) and another for others outside Parliament!

Good clear thinking on the part of ALL opposition parties on what needed to be done to get rid of the Bainimarama-Khaiyum dictatorship and its phoney plans to hold a "democratic election" to return Fiji to democracy was conspicuous by its absence. They failed to see the big picture. They were preoccupied with their parochial party interests.

I am not actually surprised at addition BUT the standard of USP - from where Dean claims to have graduated with BA.

It is done and the system adopted allows for Losers to also rule Fiji. These are the candidates rejected by the majority and have no valid right of voice in Parliament, but it is what it is and so it would be proper to just sit back and watch this sprawling monkey business and have a good laugh. The best that can happen is for the Opposition to thank the Nation and end its term in Parliament for it has fast become a non-entity and irrelevant by design. Leave the House to the monkeys and preserve your Dignities.

Mohammed Dean is a loser and it is a shame on Fiji first to allow him in Parliament. He is a petty theif and kicked out of Education ministry for making false claims. He used to do his own work during official hours also. Why take him in when Dr. Reddy kicked him out?? God help PM open his eyes and kick the theif out.

" Former journalist and media executive Matai Akauola highlighted the need to foster a free, professional and independent media to promote democracy and an open and transparent society in his maiden speech in Parliament yesterday... He said the media had and continued to have an important role to play in ensuring political accountability" ( ' Fostering a free media' Fiji Times 10/02 ).

Anyone who joins the Fiji Farce Party is bound to be against the best interests of the country and the very few people who look beyond the freebies and giveaways that many don't seem to realize has red taping, especially the "sapotas" caught up in the bribes.
