Let democracy suit local content
Fiji has a new indian prime minister. As a result tension is said to be building up.
Whose fault really was it? Perhaps the SVT and NFP merger was a well designed ploy to topple indigenous supremacy. Politics was at play. The SVT and NFP alliance was misled.
The grassroots of Fiji have spoken. The result though unacceptable to the outspo ken minority is indispensable.
Solomon Islands must leam from Fiji experience. In the local context, unfortu nate is the fact that minority groups have progressed through the political system. In retrospect foreign elements continuously intrude Solomons territorial sovereignity through the presence of naturalised citizens in the highest political level.
Another caution is the danger coerced by a rapid increase of recently introduced ethnic groups. The descendants of Kiribati have populated the entire island of Wagina.
Spots of other settlements also exist in the wider province of Western Solomons.
Worse still is the fact that attempts were made by sons of the recent settlers to con test for national seats.
The indigenous people of Solomon Islands must wake up. I hate to repeat the Fiji experience. Let democracy be refined to suit the local context.
