This is very smart politicking and will pay off big time for him. He can use all the resources of government to attack the racist and corrupt policies of his opponents without going through the hoops of the political party decree. He does not have to declare his families assets and he does not have to collect signatures and establish offices. I congratulate him for his smartness which clearly contradicts the often peddled notion that he is nothing more that a bumbling military moron whose only interest is filling his pockets.

They gain and profit from it. Indigenous Fijians own land in name only. It makes them feel good even if they do not get any returns. For landowners units, landownership becomes a hallow concept. This shows how elements of the chiefly system can be parasitic. But if Fijians prefer it to be such, who are we to say.Miragenoreply@blogger.com
