What an irony indeed for Ateca Mara, wife of unelected Minister of Defence in an unelected Interim Government belonging to the “unelected Bainimarama” in her own words!
But what do you expect from an unintelligent person? What do you expect from someone who may not have written her own speech, let alone, check the contents of the speech of so? That is obviously beyond the Mara siblings – Ateca and her other Mara siblings! What an irony that one of her siblings – Tevita Ului Mara – is working faithfully under the “unelected Interim Prime Minister Bainimarama”!
What an irony that her other sibling – Koila Mara – is wife to yet another unelected Vice President – Epeli Nailatikau!
What a real shame and complete show of utter intelligence and irony that Ateca should be game enough to display her own deteriorated moral, ethic, professionalism, or intelligency, if any all in this event!
And we Fijians continue to condone the status of our Fiji today by not challenging status quo – the rape of our political leadership and our Fijian chiefly system!
As previously commented, the irony of Fiji Independence Day – Fiji has never departed from the British colonial rule! We have never departed from the Westminister Abbey administration design. We have never questioned the legality of the work done by the late Ratu Sukuna. He together with the British colonisers are clearly ruling and reigning today. The legality of the VKB (vola-ni-kawa-bula) has never been questioned. Is there evidence of each tribal leader then when the vei-tarogi-vanua was held given the opportunity to sign the information collected legally and witnesses? Was there an opportunity for the information to be challenged? Then if this was the case, the VKB and the Native Land Trust Board is the rape of the chiefly system and the indigenous land rights from the indigenous Fijians! Ratu Mara continued this legacy and never challenged the status quo! Rabuka came in and went and never challenged the status quo! Bainimarama came in and went and never challenged the status quo! Our own very so called chiefs have sold our indigenous rights of the land and our system! What are graduate lawyers today doing about this? NOTHING! But what do you expect of the very British legal system that our lawyers are trained in? They have been blinded to this fact and do not want to upset the status quo – the very status quo that is to the disadvantage of the taukei indigenous very own rights!
