FOOD MORE IMPORTANT THAN DEMOCRACY IN FIJI: OFFICIAL

Sun. September 13, 2009; Posted: 09:26 PM

SUVA, Sep 14, 2009 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX) -- SDLI | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The national director of the governing political party deposed in Fiji's 2006 coup, says the indigenous population cares more about food on the table than who runs the country, reports Radio New Zealand International.

Peceli Kinivuwai, from the Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (SDL) Party, said Fijians living in villages had no political awareness and many didn't understand what western style democracy is.

He said there was a growing uneducated indigenous population whose largely ill-informed and disinterested in democratic elections.

"Because the majority of the people of Fiji - in particular the indigenous community - don't know the meaning and the value of democracy. That is why people are left alone in the wilderness, particularly naive and totally oblivious to what is happening."

Mr Kinivuwai said the international community must keep the pressure on Fiji.

However, the executive director of Fiji's Council of Social Services Hassan Chan disagrees and said the key is dialogue not pressure.

"If you don't engage you will be the losers. And I think through engagement and dialogue and respecting peoples decisions, well be better off than trying to fight a losing battle of trying to push something that is simply not on."

Mr Khan said Fiji's leader Commodore Frank Bainimarama, had promised to bring democracy to Fiji and must be supported not criticised.
