Public concerns over indecent assault and alleged rape rising

The Fiji Head Teachers Association has called for stepping up of security in school's in reaction to the case of the 8 year old girl who was indecently assaulted and allegedly raped last week.

The illegal and treasonous Bainimarama rides on the wave of public concern and attempts to point-score by wading into the debate, fancying himself as a lawmaker, and calling for tougher penalties for such crimes.

The illegal and treasonous Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum, corrects Bainimarama and states that their illegal Crimes Decree amply penalises sexual perpetrators.

In another unrelated incident in Namosi yet again showcasing the degradation of our societal values because of lawlessness, two brothers fought over ice-block resulting in one brother being hacked with a cane knife by his brother. The victim is 33 years old.

Sugar returns not so sweet

As we surmised yesterday, the Fiji Sun (surprise, surprise) today presents 2 news items of both a farmer; Gyan Singh and a former Fiji Sugar Corporation board member and large scale grower; Arvind Singh, lamenting the woeful inadequacy of the recent payouts.

Regime to stimulate capital markets in Fiji by privatising FEA

Curiouser and curiouser.

No sooner had the illegal and treasonous Central Bank governor, Sada Reddy, lauded increased visitor arrivals and increased electricity production as an impetus not to alter his monetary policy, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum announces the military regime's intention to restructure, privatise and publicly list the Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA) -- the one certainty adding value to our economy.

In sacrificing the FEA to stimulate capital markets the military regime is in lala land and believes that while they "partially" (hyuk, hyuk, hyuk) privatise the entity, they can still maintain control over the monopoly. 

Obviously the regime grapples with grasping what "privatisation" means.

The Government Printery will also be divested to the private sector and Khaiyum is cited as saying that "it will contribute towards the private sector development in Fiji and led to the good economics in the government operations".
