Fiji Military warns would-be trouble makers
Land Force Commander, Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga speaking to Journalist in Suva
Republic of the Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) Land Force Commander Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga said those caught would be prosecuted.
“I warn them that it is against the law and those caught will be taken to task.
“They will face the full brunt of the law so they need to think twice before doing that,” Colonel Tikoitoga told Fiji Sun
“If they have grievances, there is a proper channel to follow instead of doing that.”
Government cancelled the conference after top church executives, President Reverend Ame Tugaue and general secretary Reverend Tuikilakila Waqairatu refused to step down after they were requested not to chair the meeting.
Government said that they are politically motivated because their case is before the court facing charges of breaching the Public Emergency Regulations (PER).
Colonel Tikoitoga has also advised conference members who are in Suva to return to their various circuits as soon as possible.
“They should be careful of the fact they are together in groups and meeting up which could lead them to break the law as they would be seen as breaching the PER,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Methodist Church of Fiji plans to begin a reconciliation process with the government soon.
This confirmation has come from the church assistant general secretary, Reverend Tevita Nawadra.
Reverend Nawadra said the church is currently having some discussions with their leaders. He refused to release details of their plans.
Land Force Commander Colonel Mosese Tikoitoga said the government will not engage in any form of dialogues with the Methodist Church.
“Government will not initiate any more discussions, dialogue or negotiations with the Methodist Church. It will now have to come from the Methodist Church”.
