The military is not the reason for the coup culture in Fiji but us, the people who have accepted such actions in the past!
Those were the words of National Council for Building a Better Fiji (NCBBF) member Peni Moore as she addressed some 40 members of the public during public consultations in Lami last night.
Meanwhile, while defending his decision to join the NCBBF, CCF Executive Director Reverend Akuila Yabaki revealed that he had tried to persuade interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama not to execute a coup and resolve matters in a legal manner prior to December 5th, 2006.
Also, NCBBF member Ratu Meli Vesikula clarified to more than 30 people of Lami Village last night, that none of the NCBBF members supported the interim government and the illegal overthrow of the government by the military.
Ratu Meli said they were only there on the invitation of the President Ratu Josefa Iloilo. Ratu Meli also defended the electoral reform, saying racial differences had divided us and it's time to work together.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Western Joeli Rokovada said a lot of interest was shown by everyone and the consultations carried out at Tavua College showed that a lot of people have understood the contents of the Charter.
Rokovada added there was a cross section of people who were satisfied with the forum.
We’ve Accepted The Actions: Moore
