Fiji Army Commander Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama today threatened to round-up caretaker Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and Soqosoqo Duavata Lewenivanua party director Jale Baba if they continued to incite fear amongst the voters ahead of polling.
Bainimarama, who had just returned from overseas, said Qarase and Baba were telling voters in their pocket meetings that there would be instability if a non-indigenous individual were to become Prime Minister. "Such an act has been sighted by the military as threatening voters to choose the SDL party during voting next week, which is not democratic," he said. "People have the right to vote for whichever party or individual they want to and no one should intimidate them into doing otherwise. "We'll take care of any such threats and the people should not fear."
Bainimarama said what people should rather fear is failed promises, lying and radical/ racial policies if the SDL were to return to power. "If politicians do not have any meaningful issues to talk then they should not stand for the election," he said.
A comment from Qarase is expected soon.
