Quote #56

Josaia Waqabaca: 'Commander Bainimarama is clean and fighting for the truth. The stand he is taking is going to save the Fijian race. Today, in the streets ordinary Fijians are talking about the truth and cleanliness, which is hard to find in this government.' (11 January 2006; quoted in Fiji Sun). (Waqabaca is a former enemy of Bainimarama's. One of the perpetrators of the 2000 coup, he was imprisoned in 2001 for plotting Bainimarama's abduction, but has since had a change of heart).
