A volunteer working for independent candidate Roshika Deo has had his scholarship terminated by the Tertiary Scholarship Loan Board for “associating” himself “in political agendas”. Deo said her volunteer is a high achieving student who needs the scholarship to complete his undergraduate degree. This is an outrage and shows that the Bainimarama regime has no understanding of democracy. Bainimarama seems to think the money he spends on his scholarships, like all government money, is his personal property. Does he think that this will help him win support? All it shows people is that they have to get rid of Bainimarama. They may not be able to say anything publicly. They may be afraid to even give their honest opinion to the newspaper polls. But they will remember this when in the polling booth when they can have their say outside the sight of the regime.

To all the Fiji Youths. This is typical of how this illegal regime supresses our rights unaccountably and dictatorially, making rules as it sees fit on a daily basis for Bhai’s and his Fiji First Party, in our own country. It withdraws scholarship to punish so unfairly and cruelly a hard working student when he was exercising his God given rights to getting involved in a legitimate way in the election process to which he was entitled.
Please all students discuss this case of arbitrary punishment on a Fiji youth. Discuss with friends, other students, families and acquaintances and all the sundries to let them know just how suppressive this Govt is. AND TO RAM HOME THE MESSAGE THAT WE SHOULD ALL NOT VOTE BAINIMARAMA AND Fiji First Party
Do this for Fiji….regain responsible democracy in our country please.

May 30, 2014 at 6:42 am |
Dear Basic I think its the one being ignored at the moment with respect to the poor suspended scholarship student
May 30, 2014 at 6:44 am |
Dear Kaput is there are Public Emergency which has suspended section 23(1) of the 2013 Constitution ?
May 30, 2014 at 6:45 am |
Dear Basic i don’t know maybe there is a Decree somewhere relating to this poor scholarship students suspension which will be produced in due course
May 30, 2014 at 6:47 am |
Dear Kaput which comes first, the Decree or the Constitution ?
May 30, 2014 at 6:49 am |
Dear Basic I really don’t know because it seems the 2013 Constitution doesn’t really apply anyway for this poor suspended scholarship student.
May 30, 2014 at 6:51 am |
Dear kaput, yes its really a very hard chicken and egg one.
