      Just to mention that Vijay Narayan is only his Job. He's there to Ask Questions. But to CRITISIZE him by some Comments saying too many questions and call him Names in Fijian. That is Very Rude. Vijay Narayan is being Paid to Interview people who are in charge of certain organizations or Departments. So he will ask millions of questions. Because that's his JOB!! Be nice and don't be Rude, please.

    Great interview from point of defining exactly how Khaiyum's 2013 Constitution was designed to keep the Commander on a tight rope under their beck and call that even the Commander was still unclear of their role. The Fiji public demand that this Khaiyum drafted and passed 2013 Constitution be repealed and a new one is drafted from the wishes of the people and passed by their govt in parliament.

    The RFMF shouldn't let leaders and chiefs motivate their activities. In other terms, master-mind them. We don't want to be like the African countries. They have resources and wealth, but there are too many coups and wars within just because of some leaders and tribal people who are in mind control of the system. Look at Australia and NZ, they are wealthy and their GDP are up high. The country and citizen benefits. Which country pay their citizen who are jobless. That's the achievement when leaders work together, although in their differences come together for the prosperity of the country. All people in Fiji despite the differences in ideas n religion must have a common goal, prosperity of our beloved Fiji(the way the world should be)
