Raw Fiji News

We can’t help but continue to praise Dorsama Naidu for offering himself as the lamb on behalf of Fiji’s disjointed, self-serving and cowardly, back-stabbing Fiji Law Society lawyer members.

From the information we’ve gathered so far, we are told that the expected 100+ lawyers Naidu was relying on to show Fiji and the world that Fiji’s lawyers uphold the living 1996 constitution as supreme law, only about 20 lawyers in Suva and Nadi/Lautoka turned up.

The Suva gathering attracted lawyers like Imrana Tuisolia, Bose and a few others while the Lautoka one had Dorsami Naidu, Tupou Draunidalo and again, a few others.

We are proud though that these few brave lawyers stuck their necks out to the oath they had given and were not disillusioned by the lack of support from their peers.

When two or three stand in agreement on the upholding of Fiji’s supreme law, who can break their spirit?

Together with the likes of Graham Leung, Richard Naidu, and others, these selected few brave men and women knew they were up for possible arrest and possible torture but their spirit directed them to continue fighting for the truth -showing and telling it like it is without fear in a peaceful respectable manner.

And these few lawyers have created history today with their names remembered as those very few who stood up to make a difference for the future generation of Fiji.

Not even the full of excuses, politically biased, don’t rock the boat cowards but wait when all is set then start chasing after clients money again kinda lawyers, are the ones we have no time for – and Fiji has lots of them who fall under this category, unfortunately.

So where exactly were they when their source of professional identity, the judiciary and the legal fraternity, was being raped?

Where was the solidarity they were supposed to demonstrate as role models to the Fijian communities?

Didn’t Fiji get to where it is today because some legal fart warts (you know who) decided to twist and turn the interpretation of the constitution into some elusive fairy tale precepts that completely put Frank on a permanent dull-witted state of mind?

Now, Fiji and the world have witnessed first hand how much faith and trust they can put in their Fiji lawyers – not much really considering the lack of faith and trust these lawyers have for their own professional bible, the constitution, which they base their arguments and counter-arguments on all these friggin years, but something which they have found not worthy of protecting today.

Something is definetely wrong somewhere with these lawyers.

Perhaps it is indeed a good time for  all Fiji lawyers to take time out for self-reflection to determine what exactly it is you guys are there for?

If your answer doesn’t have the constitution in it, then you are definitely in the wrong profession.
