Writ of Elections
From the outset, it is not now or never because the writing is already written on the wall as of January 5th, 2017.
The Fiji Sun stated, “the President is required to issue the writ of elections within seven days, the writ of election is expected in April next year”. Subsequently, Mr Lagonilakeba emphatically narrated on Fiji Sun 13/8 Title Grand Coalition; “it is crucial that these political parties do not run out of steam and funding before the FijiFirst party begins its catch up, non-stop and full steam ahead marathon campaign for the 2018 General Elections”. Subsequently in essence, in my view, the next government will have to find the means and the will to carry on what had been showcased by the Fijifirst government.
The five foundations of wealth are; 1. Food 2. Gold and other precious metals 3. Water for life support. 4. Resin or Oil for fuel (yet to surface). 5. Onyx and other precious stones.
I am of the firm belief that if the next government utilises these five commodities that are all readily available then Fijians will have then deal effectively and will be able to become wealthy.
Suffice to note when a time of crisis comes, as we had already experienced during the past four years or so, we still revert to the already foundational commodities such as food and water.
In a nutshell, most of the people keep coming back to greed as the sole reason for our economic crisis. However, the main question to be asked now by all who want to run in the next four years after the 2018 General Election is do we really need or have a valley field with vegetables or a silicon valley in time of economic crisis?
Last and most importantly, food for thought that when we reverse the priorities, we mismanage resources and when we mismanage resources we lose them. A good part of the time, we are creating our own economic crises don’t we?
