The Interim Prime Minister has today stressed the military's role is to ensure the overall safety, security and well being of the people of Fiji.
Commodore Frank Bainimarama's comments follow Ousted Prime Minister, Laisenia Qarase's statement that the Army Commander does not understand the role of the RFMF.
Qarase had said that the Military Commander Commodore Bainimarama has not accepted what the military's role in Fiji is, which has resulted in all sorts of problems.
However Commodore Bainimarama said the RFMF will always ensure that all governments follow practices and policies that do not undermine the security of the nation.
Qarase has filed a case against the Military Commander's actions taken on December 5th 2006 and the case is set to start next month.
The Ousted Prime Minister said convicted criminals who have served their time should be allowed to contest the elections.
Laisenia Qarase stresses this is any Fiji citizens constitutional right and they should not be deprived of the opportunities available to them.
