Quote #59

Saula Telawa, President of the New Nationalist Party: 'He (Bainimarama) needs to place more faith in God, only God has the answer, we cannot keep bringing up the past. In making decisions about the people, we need to have faith. What has been done should be forgotten as always dwelling on it will not bring about anything good. He is only making things and the future difficult.' (Quoted in the Fiji Sun, 9 March 2006.)
