Murderer Frank Bainimarama’s speech is rubbish
What a load of rubbish!
We’ve had a good read of the dictator’s “strategic framework:” speech and if that’s the best he can do then God help Fiji!
But before we get to the speech itself, what about the titles that our dictator now gives himself? They cover 10 different portfolios in addition to the role of prime minister.
Is this not proof positive that Frank Bainimarama trusts no one and sees himself as the only decision-maker in his rag-tag “government” of losers and has-beens?
Turning to the speech itself, we see significance in the fact that so much of it is devoted to the economy, albeit in general terms and characterised by sweeping statements.
You don’t have to read between the lines to know that Frank knows that the people hold him responsible for destroying our economy.
For example, his fleeting reference to the sugar industry makes no mention of the central factor in its imminent collapse, which is the withdrawal of the $350-million EU sugar package due to his refusal to keep to his promise of elections.
But it his announcement that Fiji will be without a Constitution for at least another three years is what exposes the true objective of the “strategic framework” .
Delaying the process of drafting a new Constitution is a desperate gambit to give the Bainimarama regime some breathing space. It’s a transparent stalling tactic.
Leaving the country without a Constitution for three years will only act as a disincentive to potential investors
The dictator talks of engaging and re-engaging international partners, but if his stated intention is to keep our beloved nation in illegal limbo for another five years, how do other civilized countries engage with this dictatorship?
No, folks, the speech could never be called a “strategic framework”. It’s just a generalised exposition of propositions that is big on sweeping statement and very short on meaningful detail.
Oh, we forgot one thing! The dictator stated categorically that once finalised, the Constitution would be translated and would be available in a “pocket size” version.
Wow! And we’re going to wait three years for that?
How bloody ridiculous can this man get?
