To put it in simple English, you break the law, you commit a crime, you do the time. - Koila Nailatikau

If we succumb to pardoning these men, then we are sabotaging and undermining our own ability to act without fear or favour. We reap what we sow. We will sow a culture of coups for our children. We must therefore, uphold the Rule of Law and Justice.

If the chiefs as leaders are going to earn and maintain the respect of the people of Fiji and preserve the uniqueness of the traditional and cultural structures they need to also recognise that the differences that exist between us all cannot and should not be ignored.

"I have one question for the Government, why can't it function without the coup perpetrators?" (July 21, 2005)
