Archbishop and politics

His Holiness the Archbishop of Fiji should give up hiding behind his cloth and join a political party.

His comment, whether deliberately or inadvertently, about the level of poverty on the eve of the election was very reckless.

I am sure this cost FijiFirst a lot of votes.

Now his tirade about discriminatory policies in appointing principals to Catholic schools. We all are moving forward your Holiness.

The government has made it abundantly clear that its policies are based on equality for all, non-discriminatory and merit based.

I suggest that he should be concerned about principals of all schools.

Has that thought crossed his mind? That is what the FijiFirst government is doing, for all the people of Fiji not just one section of the community.

If he is concerned about one section of the community, he should join SODELPA because that is what its policies are or better still, form your own political party.

Like Tukai Lagonilakeba says, put your money where your mouth is. We had great hopes for Ms Akbar as a new minister that she would be capable of dealing with a new spirit in the Education Department that is foreign to our Fijian way of consultation and inclusiveness.

This new confrontational stance is not what people voted for and will lose her and the FijiFirst party the wide respect in which they have so far been held. We should never mess with Gods works and plans, because when men do, such is the consequences!
