I believe the dealers are connected to those who are protecting them - Seruvakula

Great Council of Chiefs Chairman Ratu Viliame Seruvakula is raising the question why are the drug kingpins not being tracked and arrested for a number of months and years.

While speaking on fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan, the GCC Chairman who is a former senior military officer in the Republic of Fiji Military Forces and also worked for the New Zealand Army, and the United Nations in places like Libya, Cambodia and Afghanistan, says all the Fijian authorities needed to do is follow the money and catch the main suppliers.

Ratu Viliame says urgent action is needed as he believes some people are helping these drug kingpins.

The Great Council of Chiefs Chair says we need to move quickly and set up at a strategic level, like a National Intelligence Service, and sanitize and investigate organisations like the Fiji Police Force.

He says the drug dealers will target and infiltrate organisations like the Police, and a strategic approach is needed.
