No faith?
Simon Hazelman, Savusavu
Former Police officer Henry Brown’s recent comments through the media that he has no faith in our current Police chief is uncalled for and rather childish!
He is barking such comments from Western Suburbs in Sydney.
The question that needs to be asked is why did Brown leave the moment he was put on leave?
In the short time that Commissioner Brigadier-General Sitiveni Qiliho has taken office he has already done enough to give us faith in his capability and the Police force at large, something we’ve never had in decades, something at which Brown and others failed so miserably!
It’s obvious that our current chief is a disciplinarian and a man of his words who doesn’t mess around and never wastes time.
It is exactly what is needed in a Police force that has, over time, become complacent, unreliable and disjointed.
For once we are starting to have faith in the Police force thanks mainly to Mr Qiliho.
As for Mr Brown I believe this outburst is simply to gain him leverage for his application to reside in Australia permanently, never to return!
I see no other reason!
All I can conclude with a little bit of alteration from a well known nursery rhyme, “Mr Brown ran out of town with his trousers upside down!”
Watching the 7s in style
Tomasi Boginiso, Nasinu
During the Hong Kong sevens, I decided to watch it in a different environment and see what the reaction would like.
I wouldn’t stop laughing, especially the game against Kenya.
It was after lunch on Sunday, while a few mothers were watching they were at the same time trying to put their babies to sleep .
They were full asleep when the final try by Savenaca Rawaca came.
The mothers themselves jumped for joy and banged on the wooden floor as loud as they could, forgetting who they just put to sleep.
While the mothers were yelling for joy the babies were crying to a shock not knowing what has just happened.
I even notice a gentleman leaping for joy leaving his sulu behind , and there were also a few silverware in the cupboards that took to the floor as if an earthquake struck.
It was so entertaining that I burst into laughter throughout the finals and there were those who stood up through the game especially during crunch moments .
Well done Fiji supporters, and maybe there would be a time we will bring a house down just through the enjoyment.
JP services
Indar Jit, Navua
There were several letters written in newspapers regarding some Justice of Peace charging fees to provide services like certifying or signing documents from needy people.
Some people from Labasa raised their concern that they paid as much as $ 2 to $ 5 fees for JP’s to certify their documents.
There is a Code of Conduct for all JP’s and the services they provide should be free of charge.
Previously there has been complaints made to Consumer Council of Fiji on several JP’s. After investigation, they were found wrong and their services has been de- registered.
The Consumer Council of Fiji is urging people to come forward and give the names of those JP’s who are involved into this unfair conducts.
Unless the Consumer Council is provided with the names of these JP’s, they will be in no position to investigate and submit their recommendation and report to the minister for Justice for his appropriate action.
I urge people, if they face difficulty and come across some JP’s who deny or charge fees for services to make complaints to the Consumer Council of Fiji.
People should provide the full names of the JP’s when making complaints.
Finally, if any JP who is charging fees and conducting this unethical practice, his services should be de- registered.
There are so many other honest and respectable persons in our community, those who qualify to be appointed as Justice of Peace.
