1. Im Ashamed- vola o Peceli Vuniwa e Suva,- It is a pity that the Prime Minisiter is ashamed to be a fijian (ft 30/6) he once uttered the same senitiment to his fellow kai Cakaudrove- the Monasavu case is a classic example of the imperceptible advancement of the no other way theory in fijians with the instilled belief that they are merely claiming what is rightfully due to them- whatever i t takes, law and order are meaningless.
What is the Prime Minisiter ashamed of? Isnt it an insuppressible utterrance of guilt? of course, Iam very ashamed , not of who Iam but of people who mislead others in believing what they are and what will be done to them.
2. Unfair deal- vola o Arthur Jennings, Korotogo,- I write in sympathy with the Monasavu land owners- I was one of the first contractors on the Monasavu project and I can vouch for the fact that in my opinion the landowners have given the most and received the least from day one.
If government paid $402 an acre for the land under the dam, then all I can say the Fijian government who stole this land from the Monasavu landowners are worse than the white people who paid whatever it was for land now free hold -$402 per acre per year I could accept, especially when you compare it with the ridiculous $7 million plus that was spent on the land at Navua which has done absolutely nothing for national interest.
The fairest way is to pay the landowners a certain amount per unit on a monthly basis and I dont believe any F.E.A consumer would object – I pray to God everyday that our Fiji wont be turned into another Nigeria, Somalia or any other gone wrong African country.
Ena qai tomani tale yani.
