Recently, there’s been a lot of hue and cry about the Cabinet reshuffle.
The Fiji Law Society and other opponents have aired their views on disagreement of appointments.
Law applies and is meant to be upheld by all irrespective of status, position, or calibre.
When Fiji is moving forward as a nation with democracy then we can’t hang onto hierarchy and bureaucracy.
What I do not understand if the 2013 Constitution, Bills and Acts don’t match then why aren’t they amended to avoid this clash?
It can’t happen overnight, but one needs to give it a start.
Governments come and go and when this clash occurs opinions are stated and tagged along.
Time needs to be given to amend these laws if they are seen as the cause of abuse of power.
When we can rely on financial, technical assistance why not open up to rightful and knowledgeable personnel, local or international, applicable for the job?
Only then will we be able to enhance service delivery. What good is “Prerogative when it can’t be Active”?
When serving under a selected governance one can neither be dictatorial or lax.
Differential opinions are expected thus one has to be referral, approachable, attentive and amendments of certain legislations need to be done without deferral.
