As long as the truth is on my side I will continue to speak my mind.

This is the sentiment of ousted Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase following the call by the RFMF to stop questioning the overseas trips made by the interim ministers.

The RFMF Media Cell in a press statement said Qarase should not judge the Interim Ministers and added that the comments by Qarase state quite blatantly that he does not want to shut the door on the coup culture and would rather leave it open. The military stressed that if these are his intentions than he must be prepared to face the consequences. Qarase said he is speaking out as a concerned tax payer.
