Dorsami Naidu, a respected lawyer and community figure, has officially pledged his support to the Unity Fiji political party, moving away from his initial plan to form a new political movement. Naidu’s decision is rooted in his belief that the future of Fiji should focus on fostering unity rather than political fragmentation.
In discussing his choice, Naidu remarked, “Creating another political party would only serve to further splinter the voices and efforts of our people.” He emphasized his hope for community collaboration towards national progress, stating that through Unity Fiji, he can align with a party that shares this vital vision.
With an extensive background in law, Naidu is dedicated to maintaining legal integrity and protecting the Constitution. He highlighted the importance of reforms being enacted through democratic and transparent methods that reflect the interests of all citizens, rather than just those of a vocal few. Furthermore, he stressed the critical need for a clear separation between religious beliefs and political practices.
Naidu raised concerns over the increasing prevalence of drug-related issues, particularly methamphetamine usage, linking it to a rise in HIV cases. He called for a swift and comprehensive national strategy to address these growing challenges. On the economic front, he underscored the necessity of creating sustainable job opportunities and competitive wages to combat the ongoing brain drain in Fiji.
Additionally, Naidu pointed out the significant potential within Fiji’s agriculture, marine, and forestry sectors, underlining the importance of equipping the population with the skills needed to maximize these resources. He advocated for extensive reforms in the healthcare sector, stressing that no Fijian should need to rely on public fundraising for essential medical treatments abroad.
Naidu also highlighted Unity Fiji’s commitment to eradicating corruption and nepotism within government ranks. He acknowledged the pressing issues faced by the youth, who often feel uncertain about their futures in the country. By aligning with Unity Fiji, Naidu aims to leverage this platform to address essential national issues in a cohesive and purposeful manner, reinforcing a collective vision for a prosperous future in Fiji.
