Ans: No, no and again NO!
Since 1987, the leadership at Fiji's military has proven that they are NO LONGER CAPABLE of being the true OFFICERS and GENTLEMEN that this powerful institution with its established mission, vision and purpose to KEEP THE PEACE and PROTECT THE PEOPLE. The proud image that Fiji's pre-1987 militarymen gained overseas was to do with this exact purpose - KEEP THE PEACE and PROTECT THE PEOPLE, but this has not been the case lately. This means that Fiji's military has LOST THE PLOT! Their allegiance to their oath is now just like wind...blowing whichever way it wants to go and that means overstepping their boundary to
KEEP THE PEACE and PROTECT THE PEOPLE to
WAGING WAR and KILLING THE PEOPLE!
And what they have conveniently forgot is the missions they go to overseas under the UN banner is exactly to serve the purpose that our military forefathers participated in, prior to them...for PEACE to come to the people in these countries where war rages.
So, bottom-line is...ABOLISH the military, absorb them into other services where they can be of use to build our nation, rather than destroy it like they're doing now...if we need to keep a small number for peacekeeping services, then use the police (minus of course Teleni at the helm).
Costa Rica has proven it can happen and it will WORK!
My question is ? will the people of Fiji, allowed a life style of being always watched by an Army who has record of murdering its own people??? The abused of human rights, the assaults, and the wrongfull detained of its citizen , etc, etc...........all these has change the wonderful image of our beloved country and also its people.
As we try to rebuilt our nation and its image, towards the world family's, by way of tourism which is the main income besides gold, & other products, oil explorations promises a good return, however one wonders do we real need an Army in our beloved Fiji?..............acting as a police, & policing our people & nation like criminals?
What is the Military role in our island paradise?
Is anyone going to invade Fiji? is it Samoa?? China? India?
They have shown us, their true colours? & who they really are?
They have openly threaten our people, our High Chiefs, our Church Leaders.........all that we value has been dismantle & change by these Military, who were suppose to be protecting us.
Remember the Coup was executed because of Corruption? 4 years have passed since than and no one is ever been charge of that reasons ? and why they did it?
Tell us what you think? and why you think what you think? what you said? why you said what you said?
VAKAMACALA GA MAI VAKA VITI..........SE CAVA BEKA NA NOMUNI NANUMA......MERA TIKOGA, VEISAU, SE CAVA GA?????

- Ok people we support to remain as is........the army to police the nation & Baini to remain untouchable??? Vinaka vakasama totoka dina. Cava nomuni nanuma? vakamacala ga mai vaka Viti. Meratou sa veiliutaki tikoga na Mataivalu ena mua oqo..........ni oti na veidigidigi ena 2014 { ke dina o Voreqe? } Tukuna mai nomuni vakasama? JT.

Cava nomu nanuma? Na kedrai sau e lako tiko mai vei ira na lewe ni vanua? JT.
- JT... au taro mada vakababa......e ratou kaya tiko na Mataivalu, in normal democratic government the mechanism of watching over the running government rests with the National Security Council which advises them. The point is, who watches over an elected government? We must remember that not all governments or official politicians are clean. Wouldn't the nation's military and police and others be the best neutral body to be the watchdog? Au vakabauta na issue e tiko e na kena maroroi tiko e dua na matanitu savasava mai muri...e na rawa li?
- NiteDrox, Bula vinaka kemuni. A very good question indeed, yes I do agree with your point, now lets just be open here? The level of a Military status,and its huge numbers their operations world wide needs a real looking into, maybe we need a bit of change. You have said the Army and the Police........why don't we scrap the army? and continued to have our Police Force to maintain security, and as you have well said as a watch dog over the politician? Or have what we call a Security Force beside the Police, but this time decrease the number of the security force & their weapons, cause as it is.........no matter what anyone says, they will always be an evil instrument for some evil greedy individuals. Vosota aya ga na noqu nanuma. JT.
- NiteDrox, who watches over the government is the Parliamant and Judiciary. These are 3 powers in any deomocractic government, hence the seperation of power doctrine. The Police and Military are never part of this power apparatus because they come under the Executive, which is the Government of the Day. All 3 powers must work together and do their duty for the seperation of power doctrine to work. The Parliament can voice their concerns and bring action in the courts and last but not the least, the people vote during Election time.
- Set qori Tui.....au nanuma ni dua na leqa e laurai e na so na democratic systems sa i koya na kena sa rui dau balavu na sala e muri ka vakaberaberataka na toso ki liu ni dua na ka e gadrevi at national level. Au kaya tiko , kevaka e na rawa ni vakayagataki se vakatotolotaki na kau mai ni coruption kei na qito duka mai na parliamentary level to judiciary level (so dau taura tu e vica vata na vula ki na yabaki). Dua la na taro ya Tui mai na nodatou Lami open constituency.......ni vakamacala mada kina pls. Na Separation of Power Doctrine Tui, de so e nanuma ni rawa ni da tailor-made taka me rauti keda ka na rawa kina me dua na direct access of the military and police to this watchdog structure?
- The military is there to serve the people, it is answerable to the people and the people should decide whether it should stay or go. There is an even higher risk of the next elections being rigged to favor the current military dictatorship. Where will they all hide otherwise? Dro tiko e loma ni yaloka.
- That's very very true indeed seki? The rigging of the election ballot papers to favour the military dictatorship is imminent that is very true. I believe there has to be a change........otherwise we are doom...&...only God will know, when and how, we can come out of its evil hold . Vinaka. JT.
