Opposition Leader, Voreqe Bainimarama yesterday said the President, Ratu Wiliame Katonivere has failed to protect the Constitution and has failed to provide proper guidance to the Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF).
Mr Bainimarama while responding to the President’s speech said “The President has failed to protect the Constitution, the rule of law and failed to halt the resultant chaos that is insidiously and rapidly creeping in and the impending disaster that is going to befall upon our beloved country – that will fall upon our people, upon our economy and upon our future generations.”
“The President of the Republic of Fiji as Head of State in whom rests the executive authority of the State and who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces failed to acknowledge the fact that the very Constitution which he is supposed to uphold is being stripped away almost on a daily basis,” Mr Bainimarama said.
“As the commander-in-chief he has failed to provide proper guidance to the RFMF,” he said.
“In short, he who previously espoused to subscribe to the values of the Constitution has now tragically ignored the mockery that the Rabuka led government has made of Constitutional democracy.”
