Gavoka in Politics!

Former chief executive of the Fiji Islands Visitors Bureau, Viliame Gavoka has indicated an interest in politics stating he will contest the next elections under the Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua banner. "I am an SDL man," he said in an interview with Fiji TV. "I have always been an SDL man and I believe very strongly in the SDL manifesto." The SDL party led government was deposed in a military coup in December 2006 but the party is already stating that they are ready for a comeback with the announcement of possible elections by mid 2009. Gavoka had announced his resignation yesterday said saying he wanted to "pursue personal interests". "I resigned because since December, I found it really hard to reconcile my beliefs and some of the hurts that I saw in the country and not being able to do anything about it," he said. Gavoka has been the head of the FVB for the last five years and still maintains that investment in tourism is the way forward for Fiji.

This is welcome news. Mr. Gavoka, a true son of Fiji, who has done his five year stint in the Tourism industry, has now resigned and wishes to take up politics to help the nation .

It is time for men of integrity & compassion step in to fill the void. Fiji needs good men,righteous men, men with a pure heart and clean conscience, men willing to stand up and be counted to help bring healing to our broken nation.

Mr. Gavoka is to be commended for his decision.
