Two political parties have criticised the Interim Prime Minister for calling on the developed countries to stop comparing them with Fiji, as our country has just been independent for 37 years.
SDL Director Peceli Kinivuwai said Commodore Bainimarama should focus more on conducting dialogue between political party leaders to take the country forward.
National Federation Party General Secretary Pramod Rae also calls on the Interim Prime Minister to focus on national issues.
Bainimarama sayid our current constitution has just been in place for ten years, and countries like the US, should understand that having a true democracy takes time.
The Interim Prime Minister has also stressed that it will take a long journey to have a truly democratic, united and free nation.
Meanwhile, a three member US congressional team is currently in the country on a fact finding mission, on how the US can assist Fiji in returning to democratic rule.
