# THE TRAITOR JOINS FORCES WITH THE SNAKE TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION
Viliame Naupoto has twice sworn on oath on the Bible ( "So Help me God") to "obey, observe, uphold and maintain" the Constitution - first when he was appointed RFMF Commander and then when he left the military to enter parliament as a FijiFirst MP.
