History always has a way of repeating itself.
The plight of the people of Ovalau and Kadavu, with the dilapidated state of their mortuaries, is noted with much grief and sadness.
Their predicament is one of immense sadness and should not be happening in this modern day and age. We are no longer in the colonial era.
The dead deserve far better.
In the interim period while waiting for finances to be sorted out by the Ministry of Health, most respectfully, I offer a short-term relief.
Two donors need to step forward with 2 x 20 feet properly-working refrigerated ship containers.

If EFL cannot guarantee full time 24/7 x 365 electricity, I appeal to two generous donors for two reliable generators.
Someone must provide fuel supply needed. Once done, can our very own specialists from the RFMF be approached to fully refurbish and fabricate both containers to required standards and used as morgues?
I offer a short-term solution from Jetset Nadi as a caring retiree, as my little contribution. (It will be uncaring “to look the other way” when Ovalau and Kadavu need immediate morgue solutions).
Additionally, I fully propose for the mortuaries to be 100 per cent solar powered for obvious reasons best known to all concerned.
The 100 per cent no-fail reliability of power supply must be guaranteed in the best interests of all the dearly departed.
This is the time for generous NGOs to step forward too.
There are some very generous donor countries who will willingly help our maritime destinations.
