18 year old company director? Only in Aiyaz's Fiji

The Fiji ILLEGAL government has reduced the age limit for the appointment of a company director from 21 to 18 years as part of amendments to the 2010 Companies Decree and the 2010 Company Rules.

ILLEGAL Cabinet based its decision on submissions made by ILLEGAL Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

Khaiyum said the minimum age of 21 years has posed problems for people who are proposing to set up companies and who wish to appoint persons as directors who are over 18 years of age, but who have not yet reached the age of 21 years. WHICH COMPANIES? PLEASE, DO TELL.

“Although the (respective) Act allows the appointment of directors below the age of 21 years, this can only be done if approval is granted at the general meeting of the company and special notice is required for any such appointment.”

He also added that in line with international definition and the ILLEGAL People’s Charter for Change, Fiji had reduced the age of adulthood from 21 years to 18 years with respect to a number of laws, such as the Marriage Act and to be effected, the electoral voting age.

As such, he said that it is necessary to make amendments to the Act, in order to allow persons who have reached the age of 18 years to be appointed as directors or as secretary of any company in Fiji. HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE IN DIRECTORSHIP DO THESE 18 YEAR OLDS HAVE? THIS LAW IS JUST TO CATER FOR THE INDO-FIJIAN COMPANIES MANY OF WHOM HAVE MADE THEIR MILLIONS IN FIJI AND ONLY CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR WELFARE AND WEALTH.

The Companies (Amendment) Decree 2010 and Companies (Winding Up) (Amendment) Rules 2010, will come into effect once they have been published in the Gazette.

National language - I am confused

Discussions are already underway in the I-taukei affairs ministry on what we will use as a national language.

WE ALREADY HAVE A NATIONAL LANGUAGE, WHICH IS FIJIAN. THE OTHER RECOGNISED LANGUAGES, HINDI AND ENGLISH ARE JUST THAT RECOGNISED. BUT IN THE WIDER CONTEXT OF THE WORLD - ENGLISH IS ALSO THE LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION IN OUR SCHOOLS BECAUSE THE WIDER WORLD WILL ACCEPT GOOD ENGLISH SPEAKERS/WRITERS IN THEIR WORK PLACE RATHER THAN SOMEONE WHO ONLY SPEAKS FIJIAN.

The revelation was made by the Minister of Education, Filipe Bole this morning when launching the first I taukei school books to be used by secondary school student from forms 5 to 7.

Bole said that talks have started within the I taukei affairs on what will be used as the national language. Please, explain what this means? Each nation has its own national language. Which planet are you guys on? Obviously there isn't much thinking or vision on the plate at the moment that the discussion of a national language is paramount at the moment as opposed to the real need of providing funds to enhance the education system in Fiji.

He added that the 1997 constitution which was abrogated by the President in April last year have three recongnised language fijian [SIC], hindi [SIC] and english [SIC] but the plan now is to have a national language.

Bole added that if the national language is adopted it will not be compulsory to teach in schools.

Dobui is DISMAC's IDIOT!!!!

‘State of drought’ far away says DISMAC

September 22, 2010 02:43:00 PM

Dobui says DISMAC is monitoring the situation very closely but sees no need to make a call for a state of drought.  IS THIS MAN FOR REAL? HOW DID HE GET TO BE ON DISMAC?

“So far on the reports that we are receiving, we are quite far from that and until we eventually reach that situation than it will be necessary. But so far we are quite far from declaring anything just yet,” said Dobui.

BUT WHAT IS THIS PICTURE SAYING DOBUI?

In the face of a drought

Dr Sushil K Sharma
Wednesday, September 15, 2010

He said that reports from the Nadi weather office indicated there will be long spells of dry weather until early December which meant people should use water wisely. LONG SPELLS OF DRY WEATHER. HMMM...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? ONLY ONE THING...
A drought (or drouth [archaic]) is an extended period of months or years when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply. Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average precipitation. It can have a substantial impact on the ecosystem and agriculture of the affected region. Although droughts can persist for several years, even a short, intense drought can cause significant damage^[1] and harm the local economy.[2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drought)

IS IT THE HARM TO THE ALREADY DISASTROUS ECONOMY SINCE VOREQE'S COUP OF DEC. 5 2006 THAT THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT?

“Especially for the critical areas in the western division we are requesting that people not water their gardens or wash their cars because of the critical situation the west is facing at this moment.” CRITICAL? DOESN'T THAT MEAN THE WEST IS EXPERIENCING A DROUGHT?

Water is being carted to affected areas in northern and western divisions as well as outer islands during this dry spell to help the people survive this drought. HUH! FIRST THEY SAY IT'S A DROUGHT BUT THEN IT ISN'T A DROUGHT? WHO ARE THEY KIDDING? JUST THEMSELVES BECAUSE IN THEIR OWN CONTRADICTIONS THEY ARE SHOWING THAT ALL THEY ARE DOING IS TRYING TO COVER UP FOR THE ILLEGALS WHO EMPLOY THEM WHILE DENYING THE REAL NATURAL SITUATION. WHAT A SHAME AND WASTE OF SPACE!

The right calibre of people

If this story in the Fiji Sun on 9/4/10 was a joke it would be really funny. But unfortunately this is the reality we face at home.

Moves are underway to identify a suitable candidate for the ILLEGAL Permanent Secretary for Finance job, says ILLEGAL Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.
Speaking to the Fiji Sun, Commodore Bainimarama said the recent changes coincide with UNELECTED Government's preparation for the formulation of the 2011 National Budget.
He said former ILLEGAL Permanent Secretary John Prasad has been reverted to his previous position as Consultant Special Projects while David Kolitagane is now acting.
"John Prasad has got a lot on his plate," Commodore Bainimarama said.
“For now David Kolitagane will act in that capacity until a substantive post holder is identified."
Public Service Commission ILLEGAL chairman Josefa Serulagilagi said it was important that Government identifies the right person for the job.
“It has to be a person with the right calibre,” Mr Serulagilagi said.
This goes with the Commission’s recent move in ensuring that appointments and promotions are done based on merit.

This is due to a lot of changes in the educational qualifications landscape and also the wealth of experience people possess.  
This one takes the cake. Educational qualifications? Wealth of experience? You gotta be kidding.

So, the question that needs to be asked, which we already know the answer to, is: How can anyone in this regime identify RIGHT CALIBRE people when they themselves LACK THE REQUIREMENTS OF RIGHT CALIBRE because they all hold their positions of power by RAPING US OF OUR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY by the barrels of their GUNS? The money they have freely pocketed and flaunted for their families benefits have not been based on merit at all. Such HYPOCRITES!!! As they would say in the village: Levu ga na cai vosa!
