Bainimarama's New Constitution

In a major press conference held at the Prime Ministers office in Suva today, it was announced that the work on the new constitution would begin on the 27th of December, 2012.

The announcement which initially seemed like a victory for the constitution advocates was once again overshadowed by the sheer cleverness of the Prime Minister's initiatives towards keeping expenses down and running the economy on a frugal mode.

"The world is most likely going to end on December 22nd, 2012. And that's the reason I have delayed any work on the new constitution until 27th December 2012. If the world doesn't end on 22nd December, then atleast by 27th of December, we would get an all clear signal and henceforth begin the work on the constitution. As such I see no reason to waste taxpayers funds on constitution work before 27th of December, 2012," the Prime Minister announced.

Apart from the announcement on the constitution time frame, it was also announced that a new decree has come into effect making it mandatory for all new plaques for opening of new projects and places to be made out of stainless steel 316L marine grade.

"If the world does end on the 22nd of December, 2012, the last thing we would want is for this plaques to be corroded by seawater when Fiji Islands sinks into the ocean," 

In other news, the rift between Bainimarama and Syed Khaiyum deepened after the Prime Minister removed Khaiyum from his Facebook Friends List.
