It’s clear from the time delay between the event and the official announcement that Ganilau’s sudden resignation caught the regime completely by surprise. Apparently he tendered his resignation on Tuesday evening 16 November, but the news was not announced on the regime’s website by the Ministry of Information until 1.10 pm the following day. The terse announcement, all 66 words of it, hints that there will be no clarification, if any, until the dictator returns from his visit to China. And of course, there would be very few people expecting any explanation by the dictator to be actually true, or even close to the truth. In the meantime, all eyes will be on our Fiji freedom blogs to see what they can dig up.

The departure of Ratu Epeli Ganilau from the government over Fiji Water issue as reported by Radio Fiji (“Differences within government over an issue regarding Fiji Water Director of Development and External Affairs, David Roth, led to the resignation of Ratu Epeli Ganilau as Minister for Defence, National Security and Immigration”) suggests that senior executives in government have been bought by Fiji Water. People of Fiji has tendency to forget very quickly and point fingers. With this comments, I would like to remind people of Fiji that Mr. Mahendra Pal Chaudhary stood firm when he introduced taxation on these bloody Fiji Water. What happened to him is history; I do not have to elaborate further. The reach of Fiji Water is very high and people like Ratu Epeli, being too loyal to the country like Mr. M.P Chaudhary, was over powered by traitors. Fiji Water has to pay appropriate tax and cannot just reap off Fiji’s valuable gift (that is clean natural mineral water). The land owners must wake up and start negotiations with other international companies, form joint venture, and open plant next to Fiji Water.
