How Could I Stand By

I Have Never Been Bribed As A Prime Minister.

I Suspect The Psychological Pressure Associated With That Crisis Caused The First Mental Blackout I Had Ever Suffered. It Contributed To A Deterioration In My Health That Later Required The Insertion Of A Heart Pacemaker.

Fiji Had Experienced The Ordeal Of Two Military Coups.

Even Institutions Of State, Such As The Judiciary, Were Seriously Weakened, To The Extent That The Citizenry Justifiably Feared A Breakdown In Law And Order. The Business Community Was Hit By A Slump In Sales And Confidence, Leading To Reduced Earnings And Loss Of Jobs.

It Is With Obedience To Your Call That I Take Up The Burden Of Government Leadership For The Final Time.
