Bula smiles, that makes us unique and reaffirms the sentiment of solidarity everyday – Malimali

Our history has not all been smooth sailing and clear blue skies, we have had our fair share of turmoil, whether it be political, natural and even social but it is our ability to rise up again from such adversities with our world-renowned “Bula smiles”, that makes us unique and reaffirming the sentiment of solidarity every day.

This has been highlighted by the Fiji Independent Commission against Corruption Commissioner, Barbara Malimali on the eve of Fiji’s 54th Year of Independence under the theme ‘To Heal and Hope’.

Malimali says the excitement, the trepidation, the fear and hope in the hearts of the leaders and people of Fiji on 9th October 1970 as they waited for 10th October, when His then Royal Highness, Prince Charles, now King Charles would hand over the instruments of Independence to the people of Fiji.

She says today and tomorrow throughout our islands and among our diaspora overseas, pride swells in the hearts of all Fijians as we look upon our noble banner blue and reflect on the hard work, ingenuity and faith it has taken to forge the Fiji we know today.

She adds today, the civil servants from all over Fiji will be doing their part to clean up the streets of our major centres, whilst FICAC may not be physically cleaning the streets, but they are cleaning the nation of corruption.

Malimali acknowledged her staff for carrying out their roles diligently in promoting transparency and accountability in the strive to fulfil the Commission's vision of ensuring a life free of corruption in Fiji.
