I'm doing exactly what you're saying. I visited people in their homes and talk and listened to them, and showed them the concerned Reports. I wrote many letters to newspapers on concerning issues, and Iobby with some MPs (if you don't know, I'm the one behind the Unpaid Leave Grants that is gong to be paid out soon), and so on and so on. Besides you should know that I'm related to the President and Vice, and Minister of Finance. And I'm so embarrassed by their failures!!!
thank you!

Mauri Uere.

I respect your point that you have a great desire to condemn Anote Tong Government and it administration. Though I believed that I'm responding and trying to shed some lights directly to the topic i.e. "Best governance, policy, measure, and administration for our Kiribati economic development".

Yes Anote Tong (and whoever that may take this position in the future) is indeed a major player in shaping and fixing our policies, code of conduct, economy, etc as referred to in the topic. But why Anote Tong Government is there in the first place? By our own rules and democratic principles, the majority of our people, and including you (irrespect of your opposition views) had elected Anote Tong Government. You may not vote him, but the reality now is that he's the President of Kiribati and so is yours too.

I believe that the key to change the very things that you mention "Official Incapacity" is through the people and that is the very rationale of my post. We need to empower them to realise what structures and faults that had gone wrong in their own government system and channels and make a change through their collective actions and votes. How much more influence that you think you can impose to condemn the Government other than through the power of our own citizens? We may continue exchanging views, writing articles, etc...but to me this is far-feteched from enough at all. The key is to ensure that you get to the majority of the people and convince them of these counteractive views on Anote Tong's administration failures. Please note that only a small portion of Kiribati population have access to internet and newspapers. If you really want to stress these points, reach them, the people, beyond the machineries that you have used and caucus them. .

You are right! But looks like the President is NOT looking at the Statistics!

well said Aaron...

i like d idea that we need to consider our imports...esp. rice...it so weird(maybe funny) that when my foreign fren ask me what my main food back home...and I said rice(as to be honest)... then he ask again..."so u guys have a big rice agriculture there?" n I said, no..we import it..."What....?"!!!..lol
so yea need to find something else locally produced as main food...

I think the best governance, policy, measure and adminitstration is one that aims to develop Kiribati as a whole. This means that its project or developments reaches all the people of KIRIBATI not just those who are employed or living in one area but all of the PEOPLE OF KIRIBATI. Its development projects must also be for the long term not just to solve problems now and then two or three years later, the problem appeared again. That project development must also be sustainable like farming our uninhabitated islands so that it can help cut the import of food from overseas or maybe even stop the import of food like rice from overseas at all.. We must also have the best use of our ocean. We must use it to get our own fish so as to cut or decrease the import of tins or canned fish and other protein sources from overseas. Also, we can stop big companies from fishing in our ocean and begin to fish in our own creating more jobs and sell those we caught to overseas countries.

Kai ao anne moa au iango mai ikai ao e rabwa te forum aei. May GOD help and bless us all!!

I'm certain then that You are on the right track! Good to know few information that eventuate from your movement. The people have the rights to know the rights and the wrongs. I'm sure Listeners and readers will be wide awake to this charge! Keep up your stamina.

I think Uere should visit the broadcasting office and demand for a radio programme for him to air his veiws..or better still he sponsors a public talk and invite people to talk about the Government (both the good and ills of Government as he has been referring too in this website).

My suggesstion is for Uere to contest the next election and to form a party that addrress all the issues he raised about the current Anote Tong's Government. Uere has to walk the talk and not just wasting time blabberring away in this site.
