Fiji needs new balanced leadership blood

true man of character is not one that steals. Funny how people make reference to God after they get caught doing something that they knew it was wrong in the first place. Irrespective of his humbleness he still committed a crime and was found guilty.
When you do the crime you pay for it. He just happened to be caught- how many others have not been? The leadership of our country is shameful to put it plain and simple.
Its time for a change- completely eradicate people whether they have been through the yellow or blue or whatever campaign- its time for new blood.
There’s a generation of people who have the qualities to lead our country that we haven’t even tapped into. Our older generation has failed us and we continue to forgive and forget- like we haven’t got a choice.
We do have that choice. The people of Fiji need to start thinking long and hard between now and when Fiji returns to democracy about who exactly should be there to lead us.
Let us not go back to the people who have led us astray. Let us think about people who are competent enough to call a spade a spade and who is willing to step aside when their time is up for the next generation to lead.
We need people who are able to articulate the importance of keeping our culture and traditions which is our identity. At the end of the day it is about keeping this alive but at the same token acknowledging the diverse cultures that have come to make Fiji their home.
The clean up campaign is yet to come. But its time of the old guard to step aside and its time for Fiji to usher in the next generation of good, strong, educated leaders who are able to balance culture, religion and politics. And that is a skill that is rare to be found.
