This is a copy of a letter Jone Dakuvula wrote to the pro-government Fiji Sun on January 6th but was not published. It raises the important question of why, so many years after Bainimarama's 2006 takeover, local urban governments are still managed by those appointed by government, and not by those elected by ratepayers as was formerly the case. It would be sign of government's good intent if they were returned to the people, and no longer managed by appointed administrators. See also pn639. -- ACW
