Vale ni Bose

Simon Hazelman, Savusavu

Before even investigations have started concerning the burning of the Vale ni Bose

building, opposition MP Ro Filipe Tuisawau has stated on social media that way too many insults and legal, economic and political marginalisation of iTaukei ni Vanua kei Viti

is occurring under the Bainimarama rule (Ro Filipe Tuisawau Facebook).

While everyone understands that an investigation needs to be conducted, and will be done to ascertain the cause of the blaze, Ro Filipe Tuisawau has gone as far as to stress the point as if our Prime Minister is to blame?

This is not the first time the Honourable Opposition MP has jumped the gun in coming up with his own conclusions without facts and proof.

The marginalisation he is talking about is not, and was not, on the iTaukei ni Vanua kei Viti, but on everybody else who were not iTaukei through every other government but one.

FijiFirst is the first that treats every single person the same and that’s exactly how our God and creator looks at and demands of us. Anger and hatred are evident in Ro Filipe Tuisawau’s tone of expression and it just reveals how this opposition will operate if they get into power. Obviously, they plan to draw us back to the very marginalisation the Honourouble Opposition MP is talking about, of others!

We are one people and we ought to all be treated with the same dignity and respect. Attitudes ought to change big time in order for this country of ours to flourish in the best of ways, and it’s those at the very top who need to change the most.

We also need to get our facts right first before commenting on such serious matters!
