I wonder how they carry that bucket of shi@#$t in the morning to clean up the cell
Bai must be missing his wine and spirits before dinner time
Hope the dhal and rice they eating would give feeling of what is served to patients at CWM hospital
But I heard the bread is nice at Korovou prison ,because they have in-house bakery
Why is Salesi Temo presiding over the appeal case. It should be some other neutral judge. Temo needs to rescue himself from this case. Why is he even premtying the appeal court outcome by uttering there is little chance if success. Surely the judiciary is compromised. Wonder why the men in green waiting for so long to take matters into their own hands..
No surprise. The Acting CJ would, in my view, have never granted them bail. To do so would be seen by many as indicating that the sentence he imposed on each was not as valid as he advised in his judgement.
No one is above the law. Why should someone who has been convicted of a crime be given bail? Did you sit in the court room and hear all the facts of the case? Thank goodness that I have read other posting of yours and can conclude that “Stupidity” and “Ignorance” is in your DNA and your comment shows who you are.
Your posting is a perfect example of a liar. Read my other postings? Going back over the last 18 months I don’t think so! Your assumptions on comments equal DNA is absurd.
Why does this guy, Temo, have to decide on their sentence, their bail and make the assumption they are likely not going to be successful in their appeal. From day 1, he is anti-Bainimarama and Qiliho and with him as judge they don’t have any hope of a fair hearing. I wonder what the Military Council is doing as they have the mandate to uphold the constitution.
The moral decay in our society is escalating, exacerbated by the infiltration of drugs. We need to brace ourselves and seek divine intervention if we hope to be saved. The blessings from Ayodhya, as received by DPM-NFP in his recent visit, may offer some hope and epiphany.
The government has been granted extensive freedom, yet it appears to be exploiting this for the wrong reasons. When leadership falters, every branch of government and governance suffers. In Fiji, much of our leadership is focused on the political game and the pursuit of parliamentary seats, rather than on effective governance.
The health of a nation is defined by its political integrity, economic stability, education systems, social structures, technological environment & advancement, and the independence and proper functioning of its legal and judicial systems. Unfortunately, we seem to have created a Frankenstein’s monster that threatens to undermine our democracy in all these ways and more.
We must hold our leaders accountable and ask them: What tangible benefits have you brought to the nation after gaining power through the ‘power of one’?
We need an urgent reset for correction, the sooner the better!
People forget that this is a Third World country with Third World standards. From the top to the bottom. The judiciary, the speaker, the appointments to boards and diplomatics missions and everything else. The people’s mindset is also Third World.
A judge can say and do the stupidest things and get away with it.
I believe the mindset is “This is our country and we will do as we please. No vulagi laws or vulagi people or vulagi things will get in our way”. How far from the truth is that?
Except when there’s a tame white man to give you a pay rise. 🙁 That was the whole point for the generation at Independence. That Fiji could go against the trend in the third world and be a shining example of a successful multiracial, multi religious smart country. The Singapore of the South Pacific.
We were at the same stage of development in the late 1950’s and could have taken the same path. Alas. Those who betrayed that dream have a great deal to answer for. Greed and self interest triumphed over uniting as one nation and working together to grow the economic cake bigger so that everyone could get a better slice.
Imagine what we could have done if Rabuka had not triggered the exodus of our best and brightest. Twice. I would put him on trial and have him shot. But that’s just me. Perennially over the top.
We all want a better Fiji for everyone and reporting on everyone that comes in to power and leadership is a good way of keeping them on their toes. But to post such actions as having someone shot or blaming them for the exodus of our best is certainly not true. People move to better opportunities and life all around the world due to their own personal circumstances and the thoughts that the grass is greener to where they migrate too. The reality will only materialise when they arrive at their new destination.
I was being facetious about having him shot. But what has been his contribution to Fiji? A disaster from 1987 to 1999 and another period of disaster now.
Great, they deserve to spend some time behind bars as they hurt too many people and enjoyed the lap of luxury for 16 years.

The Drama in Parliament over the salary may be the reason to keep them isolated yet for some time. Perhaps not the right time. Regards

Totally agree, but you only would have shot him, I would use a bazooka. Bai was right all along, he is a snake – anaconda kind….
