The Coalition’s new Minister for Environment and Climate Change, Mosese Bultitavu, is suddenly being touted by his uncle – the Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka – as a potential candidate for national leadership.
It is something that has clearly gone to Bultitavu’s head. Because he is now trying to trash what remains of the former FijiFirst Party to which he once belonged by calling for the expulsion from the Group of 16 of MPs Faiyaz Koya and Ketan Lal.
Quite why the Fiji Times thinks Bulitavu has the authority to do so is one of life’s great mysteries. Having had more political bedfellows over the years than Lynda Tabuya, Mad Mo left the Group of 16 behind to join the Group of 9 former FijiFirst MPs who’ve thrown their lot in with Rabuka’s People’s Alliance. And in the case of seven of them – including Mad Mo – they have been rewarded with cabinet positions in the Coalition government.
Incredibly, this is how Mosese Bulitavu describes his political journey from former SODELPA MP to FijiFirst MP, from former FijiFirst MP to the Group of 9 and now a “loyal Cabinet Minister to Coalition” – in the words of Cheerieann Wilson, the Prime Minister’s former propagandist who now writes Coalition propaganda masquerading as news for the Motibhai Patels at the Fiji Times.
“It was God’s calling to join FijiFirst to sink it?” “FijiFirst was cursed”? Jesus wept. As Ketan Lal puts it tartly, this is the thanks Mosese Bulitavu gives the former FijiFirst leader, Frank Bainimarama, for riding on his coattails into parliament at the last election and without whom Bultitavu wouldn’t be where he is today to be in his uncle’s cabinet.
Yet Bulitavu has a dirty little secret hidden in his political closet just as he has become one of Sitiveni Rabuka’s most devoted loyalists and the Prime Minister trumpets his nephew as a “smart politician” and “a master of moves”. Because he once advocated a dictatorship for Fiji in which the Military Council of the RFMF would “oversee the mechanisms of government”with input from the iTaukei establishment, the chiefs and the Christian churches.
It’s all there in Mad Mo’s blueprint for government that he personally thought so brilliant that he claimed copyright on it. It is a disturbing insight into the mind of a man who is now riding high in the Coalition government and who “Uncle Siti” thinks is “smart” yet who wants to destroy genuine equality in Fiji and marginalise the ethnic and religious minorities.
Before we go into some of the details, take a good look at the following table to see how Mad Mo envisages Fiji’s ideal government. You’ll need to follow the lines and arrows carefully because this is a maze of brain farts from a man who judging from this document, ought to be in a straight jacket rather than the cabinet.
You’ll notice that the President of the Republic is chosen by the Military Council, the Great Council of Chiefs and something called the Christian Assembly Council of church leaders. Bang goes the secular state.
There’s a “Common House” of parliament of 20 seats made up of 60 per cent iTaukei and another 10 per cent of Rotumans, “Gilberties” and Banabans, 20 per cent Indo-Fijians and 10 per cent “others”. But the GCC appears to have equal status with parliament, as does the Christian Assembly Council.
And here’s another Mad Mo brain fart – a “National Complaint Centre” seemingly run by the RFMF to which members of the public can take their gripes. What happens after that? A buturaki? A bullet? That’s left to our imaginations.
Follow the lines and arrows and Mosese Bulitavu’s national blueprint amounts to this: Power shared by the military, a small parliament, the chiefs and the Christian churches. So where have we heard at least some of this before? How about Uncle Siti circa 1987. It’s back to the future we go.
God help us, Fiji. This man isn’t smart. He is a dangerous radical intent on imposing indigenous and Christian supremacy and ending the common and equal citizenry, the common identity and the secular state. How Frank Bainimarama and Aiyaz Sayed–Khaiyum could have possibly welcomed him into the ranks of FijiFirst is a mystery known only to them. But as he says: “It was God’s calling to join FijiFirst to sink it”. And so it has proved to be.
Now at the heart of government in the environment and climate change portfolio, Mosese Bulitavu’s “Uncle Siti” (and the Fiji Times) are now promoting him to go even further. But he must never be allowed anywhere near the leadership in Fiji. Because the man is not only a political chameleon and a destructive menace but a genuine threat to democracy and stark, raving mad.

Bulitavu’s latest handiwork to sow division in the opposition to which he once belonged…
And what “Uncle Siti” said about Mad Mo last week that also made the Fiji Times front page.
“Hon Mo is very well rooted”? No. It is the Fijian people who will be very well rooted if he ever gets to the top.
BULITAVU is a dead wood. Has been sitting on his brain for too long. He needs an operation now by DR. SALESI TEMO.
The only Flow Chart in the world that doesn’t…………………FLOW!
He certainly wasted his money on the copyright for that gem.
Add this guy to the group of self serving, dimwitted buffoons that are only in positions of power due to their familial connections. Another ‘Waster’ to add to the growing collection.
The only things cursed are Rabuka, his relatives such as Bulitavu, his government, all the corrupt and unworthy individuals given roles by Rabuka and every single halfwit who voted these turds into power.
The Fiji Times became cursed the day Mac Patel took over.
On another note did we all read the comments by Baiman Prasad blaming Bainimarama’s coup for the decline in sugar industry? Completely ignoring the fact that it was Rabuka who caused all the destruction
This backstabbing POS!
Judas would have been a more appropriate name for this sumabish.
A traitor to SODELPA, a traitor to Family First and he will be a traitor to these idiots as well.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So while the Prime Minister may think his nephew is brilliant and a strategist, we the Fijian people will decide that at the polls next year.
Mr Bulitavu to many of us has demonstrated that he is a traitor and spy, who will go the extra mile and fake allegiance for a minute of fame in the political spotlight. His behavior demonstrates him as a calculated and conniving individual. Is this the type of leadership we want modeled and rewarded in our country ? NO THANK YOU !
But it appears that this is the acceptable standard of behaviour in the Coalition that gives the golden ticket to a Ministerial seat.
We saw the fall of FijiFirst when one individual appeared to be the brains and engine room and every other member of the party just fell into line and enjoyed the ride and perks while it lasted. Then when the political power shifted, the free-riders backstabbed the brainchild.
We Fijians do not know what the future holds right now but I think I speak for many of us when I say , we DEFINITELY do not want the sort of national leadership currently being modelled to us under the Coalition Government.
We Fijians deserve so much better than this.
Bring on the 2026 elections !
Moji, a turncoat and a morally bankrupt politician, like many in PAP has no place in national leadership. The Good Book says; “Pride comes before fall.” Watch this space Moji!
As for the FT, the daily is simply a propaganda mouthpiece for the government. Shame on you CAW. Give us some real news – Sheez!
Who takes this political whore’s word seriously? He’s a nobody, how come he’s newsworthy. I don’t give a rats ass on what he says and thinks.
To coin your phrase GD, “and we laughed, and we laughed, and we laughed!”
Kaila, what a nutter. It seems uncle’s pet thinks he stands to inherit the reigns of the runaway horse.
Unbelievably funny.
Mosese Bulitavo’s neo-nationalism model will not work in the modern day Fiji, you cannot combined the Christian Churches with the Government, because the people will suffer…give them the liberty & freedom to serve whatever God they wish to serve, the Living God Yahweh has given us that freedom from the beginning when Adam and Eve were trapped by Lucifer….He sent His Only Son, Jesus Christ to save us…we must love God by serving Him in Spirit and Truth, and secondly Love our neighbours as we love ourselves, do unto others what you want others to do unto us…these are two most important Commandments, that basically summarizes the 10 Commandments …
The Hon. Minister should do the honorable thing and study the bible, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give him the wisdom to lead his Ministry in the current Porn Alliance Party Coalition Government…Christianity is LOVE, CARE. FORGIVENESS, ANTI-TREASONOUS, TOLERANCE, HARDWORKER, ANTI-LAZINESS, and RESPECT, NOT loving your oneself and your kind…
SA RAUTA NA SESERAURAU TIKO MOSESE BULITAVO…MASU VAKALEVU KA WILIKA VINAKA NOMU VOLTABU MO RAICA NA DINA….

What an absolute fool he is.
As if this crooked coalition didnāt have enough clowns already. Good now they have him and his uncle as chief clowns.
The Gilberties got me so bad. Kaila.
Go back to whatever school you crawled out of wondering Mo!
Useless ass on a high dial mode for now. Buzzing like a fool with no substance.
Attacking Ketan is not helping Mo.
He looks more dumb everyday.
Who gives a toss about this person who got 621 votes in the last election and his uncle who barely managed to scrape through to form government because of a coalition with 3 other parties. Even itaukeis on social media are now against Rabuka who is limping through his world travels looking a sorry sight.
Before I end let me say that God created a paradise in fiji bit it wasn’t good enough for Satan. He created Rabuka who since 1987 has wreaked havoc in this beautiful country. Now Satan is still not satisfied and is using an empty barrel in Bulitavu to finish off this paradise. I may sound demented but it is the truth.
My God, have mercy on Fiji and its people.
This guy is a clueless sheep.
Wandering from one party to another.
He will be the joke, just watch.
He is the sheep who will spend his entire life fearing the wolf, only to be eaten by the shepherds around him.
Why? He is just a momoās boy. Thatās why.
Did he ever realise why FFP had him there in the first place?
He was their gossip boy messenger to SODELPA and PAP. They would tell him something and he would go running to momo and tell him. You my friend, were the clueless wireless mojoless wireless fool who was used and is still used.
The joke is on you, Mo.
Mad Moo Bulitevoro wrote the bible.
I nearly choked on my cup of tea when I saw the ācopyrightā document.
Who gives these people any credibility to even be in parliament!
Oh, well. Nice to have nepotism though. No need for brains when one has an uncle as a PM. Makes me wonder if the whole kinship is a bit unique.
MAD MO BULITAVU, terminally basic and chronically empty vessel.
It was disturbing to peruse his views. Boy, what about that flow chart?!? š¤ šššš
Anyway, Mad Mo is a glaring example of why politicians of his ilk don’t have a place in a modern Fijian democracy.
If Bulitavu’s previous record of opportunism, lack of any principles or even brains as he tried his luck jumping ships was not sufficient for the electorate to decide the true colour of the man, his recent brief record as Minister should leave no surprises.
He, like his PS Michael who is feeding him scripts to read pontificating about climate change and environment, is using the platform to try and sound convincing. The guy doesn’t have an ounce of knowledge about the subjects. Like we had to put up the climate change crap from Biman Prasad who also has zero knowledge of the subject, I am afraid we have to put up with the uninformed, unintelligent and the verbose from this lunatic who had been propelled into position by Rabuka to shamelessly peddle the ethno-nationalistic agenda. The areas under his portfolio gives him so much space given the climate change bandwagon everyone is riding on.
A government is judged by the kind of people in positions and I am afraid the Coalition has sunk to an all-time low with the likes of Bulitavu, Biman Prasad, Charan Jeeth Singh, Naupoto, Naivalarua and the list goes on.
Fijians (itaukei) are more confused than ever before
They are confused as to who they are
Only around half a million in this world, they should have been so proud of what they are. But it’s the opposite.
They pray everywhere and every day.
From churches to sports fields, from bus stations to schools, from homes to farms yet they are are doing the opposite.
There is a real problem with this race.
They look so good as if they are people of God.
Jisu,kalou on their lips.
First sentence from their mouth is I wanna thank God.
But reality on the ground is a different story.
Crimes committed and prisoners are almost all iTaukei.
Once an overseas media outlet reported that Fijians are eating grass.
That was when the previous government was in power.
Now with the new government of old farts, children as young as 8 are not eating grass but smoking grass.
Fights on the streets, domestic violence, robberies, rape, murder, you name it.
Where is the “Lotu”???
Who can lead them?
There are many false prophets around them.
The iTaukei need to take stock of their lives and especially this new generation, reset their bearings or doomsday is not far away.
Mad Mo is as brilliant as the Buka when he ‘stratetically’ recruited the G9, two of whom are ex-military commanders. Now there are no less than three clueless ex-military commanders in government.
If Buka was so brilliant then why are 75% or more of iTaukei still living in poverty after 38 years of iTaukei rights and positive discrimination. Things have gone backwards even more.
And that model by Mad Mo, a 10 year old could come up with a better model.
To me the model says “Hey all, just look at me, I am a first rate dickhead in a third rate country”. And proudly so.

Fiji First must continue for Stability in Fiji
At least late Sakiasi Butadroka was predictable, and the whole of Fiji knew his views about the Indo-Fijians.
Mosese Bulitavu is unpredictable and dangerous. He will talk to you nicely but will stab you as soon as you turn your back.
A party hopper, like Lynda, Bulitavu, can never be trusted. He is partly responsible for Fiji First Party’s (FFP) demise, and as GD alludes to what made Aiyaz and Bainimarama allow him into FFP remains a mystery. He has been very critical of FFP when he was part of SODELPA.
Now, Bulitavu says that he joined FFP to sink the party. Surely, he achieved his goals and his craving to become a minister so that he could openly show his power. Being Rabuka’s nephew also put him in a privileged position.
Bulitavu, together with Naivalarua (one of Rabuka’s main men in his 1987 coup), created the G9 group. His aim was to get all Itaukei former FFP MPs in a splinter group and support Rabuka. More so to get the required numbers to enable Rabuka to change the constitution. Luckily, this didn’t happen, and the current G16 iTaukei MPs are steadfast in their resolve, not to join Rabuka.
Bulitavu has also been talking to few Indo- Fijians MPs of the G16 group to entice them promising ministerial positions, but these MPs will not go against the Indo- Fijians. They have conscience unlike Biman Prasad, Sashi Kiran, Agni Singh, and Charan jeath Singh, who are already supporting Rabuka’s call for constitutional changes. If Fiji loses equal citizenry, common identity, and secularism, these four Indo-Fijians will be responsible and will be the real traitors.
Bulitavu can prove to be more dangerous than Rabuka, particularly on his idea of Fiji. He needs to be fully exposed.
This is a very high achieving Fijian family and merit and nepotism are obsolete words in their lingo. They have and will continue to take Fiji to the highest levels of success in the world…why can’t people recognise that this gene pool is full of geniuses.
All you doubters….give them a chance to create more copyrighted blueprints for good governance and economic success!
Graham Davis for Prime Minister 2026!
Vinaka. But funnily enough I have other plans. š
The stated copyright confirms he alone is the owner and responsible for the rubbish he has come up with!
Left to themselves, this is how many kaivitis, especially those with poor leadership, will behave: highly impressionable, easily persuaded and with a tendency to show off. Everyone is smiling for a while, but with poor management, as it becomes clear things are not going wellā¦ first there is confusion, then anger, and ultimately treachery.
Bulitavu and āuncle Sitiā are good examples of this opportunistic and untrustworthy behaviour.
As Fijians contemplate a truth and reconciliation process, itās timely they reflect on whether this is the kind of leadership their families and the country needs.
If truth be told, āuncle Sitiā owes his survival to turaga Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau (in 1987), and to Frank Bainimarama when, after the mutiny in 2000, he turned up at the barracks with his uniform.
The danger now is that as it becomes clear things are not going well (the house is bereft of ideas and the chest is bare) there will be more of this liumuri behaviour. Disingenuous in the alliance with the NFP, on Temo/ODPP/FICAC; as this hoodwinking is revealed, failure, confusion, anger and treachery will follow – especially as the NFP has its crisis of conscience and walks to the other side.
At that point we will see a more honest picture of Fijiās political make-up. A point at which Fijians will face the question: do we want an egalitarian, multicultural future where the key questions centre on economic and social progress and elected representatives are fully accountable to the electorate and the media does its job: keep the bastards honest? Or do we step back into the past where, in truth, the system only worked with high quality leadership, unfortunately now absent?
