An article by Kosakosa in Raw Fiji News on 18 August alleging poor financial management by the Methodist Church is nothing more than propaganda by agents who, for one reason or another, are bent on bringing disrepute to the Church. It exemplifies the problem with the pervasive censorship of the press by the Bainimarama junta enabling people like Kosakosa to put their lies across with no sense of responsibility and accountability.
Kosakosa has no inkling of the true financial position of the Church. If he does, he would have known that the Church has adopted a transparent stance with its financial management - its audited accounts are freely distributed to delegates every year during the Church Conference. Members of the Church are aware from the audited accounts that the Methodist Church programs itself to pay rates in January each year, it does not owe any rates, FNPF or taxes; there is no danger of foreclosure on any of its properties. Although, like other organizations, it borrows now and again, it is committed to meeting its financial commitments.
