2010 Election Is For The Sake Of Democracy

And to kill coup culture

The Interim Government dismissed recommendations in the EPG Report for the election to be held within 18 – 24 months by declaring that it will be held in the year 2010 to allow everyone to exercise their democratic right to speak freely for the next three years.

In a statement released by the Interim Government, the last three months after the takeover has made people from all works of life speak out about democracy.

“The response from the NGOs' and public at large is very positive in the sense that the people of this country are really speaking out against illegal activities and illegitimate government. People also spoke out during the previous coups but their right to express themselves freely was cut short because of the international pressure to hold elections at the earliest. However this interim government assures the people of Fiji that you have three years to do that this time and there is absolutely no way this government would bow to international pressure and prevent you from speaking your mind and hearts out,” the statement read.

In addition the statement also read that if the people of Fiji would find the three years insufficient then a review of the time frame would be carried out and there maybe possible extension.

Following the announcement, Major Neumi Leweni of the RFMF in a brief press conference said that this method adopted by the interim government would be the best way for everyone to feel disgusted with the coup.

”Hearing all the negative vibes about coup and experiencing international isolation for atleast three years would teach everyone a lesson on how bad a coup can be. This is the only way we can kill the coup culture,” Major Leweni excitedly reveled.

However according to a political analyst, the move by the interim government to hold elections after three years is a very well structured plan to finish off Laisenia Qarase's political career.

”The RFMF is really smart by coming up with their 2010 election plan. They are letting Laisenia Qarase speak as much as he wants to for atleast next three years. Now think, who would want to listen to Qarase during the election campaign? Definitely not after three years of blabbing on every topic under the Fijian sun. And to prove our theory, let me just ask a simple question, why is the biggest mouth in Fiji's politics so quiet? Because Vayeshnoi is himself aware of this strategy,” the political analyst proudly explained.

In other news, it was reported in the ‘Duh' magazine that the f our former Fiji soldiers, hired by conman and self-proclaimed king Noah Musingku to train his private army on Bougainville, have said that Musingku does not have the money pay them one million dollar each as promised.
