BUBU CHALLENGES BAINIMARAMA

Bubu cannot let Fiji Times article on 11 June quoting Bainimarama go unchalleged

In its article headed " Bainimarama challenges Ratu Joni", the FT quotes Bainimarama as saying :

"FORMER vice-president Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi's efforts to sensationalise matters and bring race into play will not derail the efforts of the interim Government to set strategic priorities for good governance and prepare a roadmap for true sustainable parliamentary democracy in Fiji, says interim Prime Minister Commander Voreqe Bainimarama."

Bubu says :
Rt Joni's wise comments are not sensationalizing anything. He is merely telling the truth, and yes his comments and the people's comments WILL happily derail the Military Regime's MISGUIDED and ILLEGAL efforts to "save" Fiji. The only thing the army is concerned about is displaying it's armed prowess , alienating the iTaukei and placing back into positions of power failed politicians and others with very warped agendas. This is Bai's "roadmap" . Talkfests about "national-reform" are being used by the KoManDa to justify intimidation of people who strongly voice their opposition to the takeover , and increasingly more excuses used to delay elections. The best "roadmap" for Bai will be to go back to barracks, resign and go to the vanua to seek forgiveness NOW before it is too late.

FT quotes Bainimarama:
Commander Bainimarama said people of Fiji should not forget the fundamental reasons which led to the political transition of 5 December, 2006. He said :''Fiji was badly governed by Qarase-led Government."

Bubu says :
I challenge BaiNiGovernor to provide the PROOF - we have been waiting 6 months and all you can come up with badly handled "evidence" from a con-man called Foster. Oilei luvequ's! Qai desparado or what! This is an example of typical slanderous statements made only by Bai and a few cronies vs the Whole of The Nation of Fiji who democratically elected Qarase and his government in warts and all. Qarase was doing a fabulous job in the scheme of things - taking us forward and away from the coup culture. The only "bad" thing he did was not succeeding in down-sizing the army and relacing Bai as KoManDa.

FT quotes Bainimarama:
" Nepotism, fraud and corruption were well accepted norms of that Government."

Bubu says :
This is yet another example of a parrot like statement that provides no substance. Get this Bai - corruption has been , is still and will be part of any society starting from the beginning of the ape-era. Corruption will be found in any society, small or big - it takes years to uproot - and this is done by implementing well researched workplace systems of job appraisals, work performance check-lists, & good supervisory checks and balance systems. Corruption was here in Mara's period, Chaudrys period, Bavadra's period and it is especially even more so still here in Bai's period. Plus this "excuse" is NO excuse to take over the running of any democratically elected government. NEVER! Anyway Nepotism, fraud and corruption is being seen by the public of Fiji BIG TIME under this military dicktatorship - I mean how many of Bai's family are leading figures in the illegal administration ? How many military cronies have been placed on Boards and in other positions in Government ? Helllooooo ! And how's this for a great big huge fat LIE today : - more lies on the way .....
Oh and, more cronies to be placed in diplomatic posts and to the UN.
Wait there's more - what about all the interference in the Judiciary and Statutory Bodies in Fiji and all the cronies placed in these arena's!

FT quotes Bainimarama:
" It was nationalist in orientation and was leading the country to a disastrous path through introduction of controversial legislations and policies. "

Bubu says :
There is nothing wrong with Nationalism when it is tempered with due processes and when it exists in a healthy climate of debate. Nationalism remains a force to be reckoned with in the real politik arena of Fiji. It tempers those that would try and sabotage the aspirations of the itaukei - such as we are seeing now with Sahu-Kahn and his contentious plan to wrest the land away from itaukei. Nationalism has a place in this world. The Reconciliation, Tolerance and Unity Bill, went through and was going through it's layers of tempering - this Bill would have seen the TRUTH of the previous coups emerge. Bai did not want this truth coming out. This is one of the reasons he was so against this Bill. Add to this Commissioner Andrew Hughes had information that would have exposed Bai and his cronies. So Bai mouthed off about the Bill when in reality , these aforementioned reasons were the real deal. The there was the Qoliqoli Bill - an awesome Bill that was to go through the tempering processes and that would have helped the itaukei hugely. Unfortunately, certain people in the Hospitality arena took it the wrong way and bent/paid Bai to listen, so off he went down that path with his illogical reasoning. How much did you get paid Bai for wearing this argument ? The reason we have a democratic process is that these things can be talked about and worked through our representatives whom we voted into Parliament. There was NO excuse for Bai to come in and usurp these ordinary workings of a nation going about it's daily work.

FT quotes Bainimarama:
"All those malpractices were denying the common and grassroots people of this country the opportunity to secure decent jobs and income.What kind of democracy was that where people were being exploited by a handful of power hungry politicians for their own benefits?'' "

Bubu says:
Yea ? Prove this statement Mr Bai ! We know the country was gowing well and prospering under Qarase and his government ! Go and see the Reserve bank - they can give you the figures ! There is more unemployment and more crime produced by the Military stupidness in 6 months that ever before in the history of this nation ! Also it is becoming clearer by the day that Bai's grab for power in nothing but a personal vendetta and witch hunt against people he perceived as "tall poppies" , anyone who is/has associated with Qarase and the SDL party, or known opponents of the junta. It was evident that this was done through pure spite and vindictiveness especially as accusations without any proof or substance were spouted daily in Fijian on Radio Fiji One. VERY funny eh, that none of these amazing accusations and reports of grave "evils" were never repeated on the English Stations !

FT quotes Bainimarama:
Commander Bainimarama said "Fiji has been suffering from deep-rooted structural problems, a governance environment severely warped by the dominance of parochial ethnic politics and with an increasing incidence of corruption and lawlessness."

Bubu says :
It is now well known that Bai has wanted to take revenge on certain chiefs and others in the community for actions in the past. It is extremely unfortunate that he decided to sabotage a whole nation and endanger it's people because of his megalomania - this is really what Bai means about "deep-rooted structural problems". When Bai talks about "ethnic politics", there he goes again trying to save the nation with his own brand of whatever that means. I guess we now see what this means - it means placing all the Indians of the Fiji Labour Party in Government - to "redistribute ethnicity" - like chess pieces - you go there and you go there - and all these people now "owe" Franky. How much are these people paying you Franks? Oh and who wrote this rebuttal for you?

FT quotes Bainimarama:
''Certainly at this time when we are trying to rise from the ashes and are making inroads to moving the country forward, Fiji does not deserve highly sensational and damaging speeches like those of Ratu Madraiwiwi. If he has contributions to make, it would be more prudent to do that in dialogue with us rather than presenting a paper at a seminar in Australia,'' Commander Bainimarama said.

Bubu says :
Let Bubu point it out to you again Mr Frankdaligatuli - the reason no one wants to dialogue with you is because you :

(a) dont'/won't listen to anyone
(b) have your own agenda anyway so it's a waste of breath
(c) it has been proven that if we peasants state an opinion, or indeed send an email or look up a blog (look at this articleand listen here to what happened to a student at USP) , we get beaten and bashed, or even killed (remember Tevita, Nimilote and Sakiusa?)
(d) it is proven that you really don't want to HEAR what people have to say as you have made up your own mind anyway
(e) it doesn't matter what opinions other people have , especially if they go against you, because you have other mis-guided, ill-informed and ill-advised coup-apologists whispering in your tapioka-filled ears!
(f) if Rt Joni's speech was sensational and damaging and racist, what about Chaudry's utterances, Sahu-Khan's paper, Shamsham's coup justification paper, and Aiyaz's thesis ? Gotta be consistent in your calls Frankiebaby - one rule for all - not as you determine when you determine because you can ! Anyone would think you were a Dicktator !


PS - the only ashes in Fiji are the ashes you have created are your own.

Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi was absolutely correct when he questioned the aims of Fiji's current so called leaders, describing the progress of the country as being like an 'Alice in Wonderland' journey.
