The Prime Minister has today labelled the claimed petition of 600 thousand signatures to have elections in Fiji this year, as toilet paper.
Following reports in NZ that a group has sent a letter to the Fiji government with the claimed petition asking that elections be held in 2010, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama believes the whole issue is farfetched.
According to Radio NZ, a petition calling for elections to be held in Fiji this year has been submitted to the government in Suva.
The petition, which organisers claim has the support of more than 600,000 people, demands a return to democracy before the 2014 date planned by Commodore Bainimarama.
One of the organisers, Suliasi Daunitutu said the leaders of the Fiji Labour, SDL and National Federation parties submitted a list of their members to be included in the petition. However it is not known whether these are just names or they include the people=s signatures.
Another person supporting this is a Vilisi Nadaku who claims that he has also written to the government to call elections this year.
However Commodore Bainimarama stresses that the government is focused on its objective and all these things will not change the lives of the people of Fiji.
