One can hope a salutatory lesson has indeed been learned, and the former dictator, becomes just what Fiji has long needed, to actually set a very high bar for a very healthy democracy, free of the former corruption, this was supposed to be all about!
And on that score, the jury is still out!
One can also hope that B.A., becomes the very uniting influence Fiji has now needed for virtual decades!
A clearly confected sham democracy won't cut it!
