There can be do doubt that lack of transparency facilitates corruption and incompetence, which leads to a waste of taxpayers monies, increased national debt and an ever increasing burden on future generations.

It is also true that Franks administration and period of government could have been much more successful had he fully endorsed and supported transparency in all aspects of government business.

The following is one mans view, which is supported by statistics provided by him and as yet is unchallenged by the administration.

We welcome the administrations response in the comments column of this article.

MORE RIPPLES IN FIJI’S RULE OF LAW

Townsend claims Pryde’s statement misleading.

Former Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, Ruth Townsend is claiming that she did not resign for further opportunities,Townsend said that the statement by Director of DPP, Christopher Pryde that she resigned for other opportunities is misleading. (what a surprise)

Townsend said that she was only unhappy with certain things at the DPP’s office.

Got to learn to kiss a lot of legal posteriors if one wants to succeed in that office, so could it be that Ruth Townsend is a woman with principles?

Promotion to Rear Admiral ensures you receive the maximum military pension for your retirement Frank, a very smart move. But considering the treatment you served out to the FNPF pensioners, it seems that there is one rule for you and bugger the rest.

To make matters worse your administration has permitted a split off of monies belonging to FNPF members and the FNPF is now a major shareholder in a new local bank that is doomed to follow in the footsteps of the National Bank of Fiji.

Don’t worry Frank you will still get your taxpayers funded Rear Admirals pension, even if you lose the election, even if the FNPF goes broke, you will be OK.

FNPF Pensioners, their children and their grandchildren should
REMEMBER THIS WHEN THEY VOTE.

The Social Democratic and Liberal Party has made it’s stand clear that it will re-instate the itaukei and multi ethnic based scholarship programmes if it forms the next government after the elections.

When SODELPA was questioned on why it wants to bring back the race based scholarships, senior party official, Doctor Tupeni Baba said SODELPA will not change this stand.

Doctor Baba said although SODELPA has decided to contest the elections under the 2013 constitution, the party does not accept the new scholarship and student loan schemes brought in as they have not been approved by an elected parliament. 

Doctor Baba said it does not matter that the previous scholarship programme which SODELPA wants to bring back was race based.

It appears that SODELPA also prefers and wants to encourage race based voting, if so they should be registered under the name : “Social Destructive and Liability Party”

REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE

As the past politicians and aspiring politicians prepare to take on Frank, who “cannot see the wood for the trees” and is so perpetually blinded by the local Suns shining predictions, that he cannot see that the cronyism and corruption being generated in the highest offices of his administration could eventually not only be his downfall, but will certainly tarnish all the good he has done. These achievements when put on the scales of history will be more than counterbalanced by corruption, lack of transparency and blatant manipulation of the rule of law.

None of the aspiring leaders appear to appreciate that the combined total of young graduates and pensioners represent the majority of voters at this time, yet they are not accommodating them in pre election promises or more importantly proposed post election programs.

REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE.

The following attached article by Professor Wadan Narsey provides more factual logic than will ever shine out of the local SUN:>
