Thursday, May 29, 2008

Former Vice President Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi says young professionals in Fiji can help restore democracy by engaging into debates.

“I mean that is the most direct way that you can contribute, taking part just in the debate whether it is letters to the editors, or writing Fiji articles or whatever, but I think it is very important for us to have a debate in all these issues that people contribute so that you can have a variety of opinions so that you can have a variety of opinions so that it can generate discussion and after that discussion something useful can be developed.”
