Instabilit­y, chaos in business will prevail if coalition is voted in: Bulitavu

- SAMPRAS ANAND SEAQAQA Feedback: sampras.anand@fijisun.

Instabilit­y and chaos within the business landscape will be evident if the mandate is given to other parties to run our country.

FijiFirst Candidate, Mosese Bulitavu, made this claims during the party’s rally at Seaqaqa Primary School in Macuata Province on Wednesday night. Mr Bulitavu said he was aware of the possible changes because he had worked with them during his time as a SODELPA member. He said these leaders would review contractor­s and bring back companies in their circle of friends and offer them government projects and corrupted means of doing business.

“They would give them special preference and chance, so most of the other business not in their circle will suffer,” Mr Bulitavu said

The Cakaudrove, Bua and Macuata (CBM) developmen­t advocate said these type of leaders if elected into power would create instabilit­y in our country.

Party general secretary, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, reiterated similar sentiments. Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said the economy of Vanua Levu got depressed when Mr Rabuka was Prime Minister.

This promoted Mr Voreqe Bainimaram­a to send Mr Inia Seruiratu to Vanua Levu as Commission­er Northern to develop and uplift the economy of Fiji’s second largest island.

“There is so much potential in Vanua Levu with roads now developed, more villages with seawall, electricit­y, water and improving internet connectivi­ty infrastruc­ture,” he said.

Sustainabl­e democracy

FijiFirst candidate, Inia Seruiratu, said Fijians must vote wisely for them to ensure there is sustainabl­e democracy and ensure economic growth continues. The former Commission­er Northern said it was imperative to continue the developmen­t of a national identity ‘Fijian’ and social cohesion.

A thriving social cohesion starts by forging healthy relationsh­ip with people from various races and ethnic groups.

Cohesion that ensured effective, enlightene­d, trustworth­y and accountabl­e leadership which was the fundamenta­l principles of the FijiFirst party.
