We have three stories on the front page of The Fiji Times for Wednesday, February 22.
# Insensitive, unethical and bad politics. Renowned Fijian academic Professor Steve Ratuva used these words to describe the Opposition’s consistent reference to the 1987 military coup and the events that happened in the aftermath in Parliament. He talks about the coups of ’87, 2000 and the coup of 2006. That’s the main one!
# The second story is about the Director of Public Prosecutions reviewing a police docket involving former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, former Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, suspended Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho and former Director of the Criminal Investigation Department Mesake Waqa.
# The third story is about Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka’s reaction to FijiFirst leader Voreqe Bainimarama’s public apology on FijiFirst’s Facebook page.
Read about all these stories in The Fiji Times.
