Opposition rejection
Tukai Lagonilakeba, Namaka, Nadi
In 2014 Ro Teimumu Kepa as Opposition leader of parliament and her SODELPA and NFP family rejected and condemned outright our 2013 Constitution, but they pretentiously were sworn on Oath in parliament under it for the duration from 2014-2018.
They would irresponsibly boycott parliament or walked off when it conveniently suited them up until of late where they finally came to their senses and realised that they will never win the war but by doing so they were misplacing the trust of their small supporters.
They uttered iTaukei slurs with racially inciting remarks inside and outside parliament and their members got suspended for it, they are disrespectful to our Prime Minister, they rejected the appointment in 2014 of His Excellency the President of our Republic Jioji Konrote to replace Ratu Epeli Nailatikau after he completed his term in office.
They also rejected the appointment of Dr Jiko Luveni as our first Women Speaker in compliance with our 2013 Constitution and long live gender equality and women’s right.
They rejected everything from anything put forward in parliament by the FijiFirst Government which will realistically move our country’s economy forward in the right direction, user friendly policies which will benefit indiscriminately ordinary Fijians were also unsuccessfully rejected by the lot.
For the good of the nation and governments service deliveries our Civil Service reforms or any government reforms for that matter were also rejected outright by the opposition.
In 2017 they childishly brought into parliament a motion of no confidence purposely done only to ridicule our courageous and brave Prime Minister Mr Bainimarama where they knew fairly well it will not succeed because of the numbers stacked against them.
It never saw the light of day like much of their other parliamentary nonsense, and he has withstood the test of time come what may.
On October 2018 in the lead up to election government renewed the term for His Excellency the President amid the many objections from the opposition.
There were so many false prophets with their visions and prophesies leading up to our election by the many rogue Christian talatala’s who favour the Sitiveni Rabuka lies.
After our 2018 National Election our Prime Minister was sworn in at government house including the wining FijiFirst party Cabinet Ministers.
Our parliament was called into session with the first order to appoint a Speaker of Parliament where government again voted overwhelmingly for Dr Jiko Luveni for another term against a political greenhorn and inexperienced nominee from SODELPA.
Similarly Mrs Bhatnagar was appointed Deputy Speaker in a similar fashion which is again a win for women’s rights and gender equality, Salute!
Despite the presence and endorsement of the Multi-National Observer Group that our election was carried out in a free, fair and transparent manner where the writ of elections was returned to His Excellency the President, both the NFP and SODELPA ganged up and unwisely disputed the election results in court.
Although they have already been sworn into parliament under oath which is acceptance or was it a convenience stunt?
The FijiFirst leadership did not waiver and complied, the court case is now history, but what more can SODELPA with their NFP family come up with or are there any other rejections left until 2022?
It will certainly be a case of the rejected oppositions in our next election for sure, but what of the SODELPA and NFP manifestos now?
It’s all false promises again for the next four years.
