You made the commitment on the assumption of state support, in particular free tuition, free textbooks and free Weet-Bix and dairy. You have also noted that the government of FijiFirst keeps its commitments. During the 2014 parliamentary elections, Mr Bainimarama got only three ballots from the Onolevu District school ballot room, one of the three voting cabins on the country.

SODELPA interviewed 84 people and Dr. Jiko Luveni (then FijiFirst) from the village of Nukuni on the village of Nukuni achieved 19 points. Only Ro Teimumu and Dr. Luveni were represented in the other two voting places. Of the three voting places, the overall number of the vote was: Teimumu Ro 133, Dr. Luveni 94 and Mr. Bainimarama 3.

Their bosses asked Lau to choose Ro Teimumu, but the atmosphere on Ono-i-Lau has improved. The Motokana villagers boss, Josefa Nadovo, said former government made wrong commitments. "We want the Bainimarama government to stay because it made our life easy. Mataika Pasi, Doi head of the town, repeated similar feelings.

"We cannot await polling time in order to approve the Bainimarama government," Pasi said. "The government of the time makes no distinction between them. "They have improved the quality of life in the community with the free educational programs and many others. "Just think if he (Mr Bainimarama) ran another four years, Fiji could do more," he said.

"He said, "All the kids in the town can go to college. "There used to be a large number of early drop-outs in the town. With the free educational programme, there are now fewer cases of early school leavers. "And most of the kids didn't know what Weet-Bix was either. The government's helped.

The kids on these isles are able to have what the kids on the major isles have.
