DIAL A 'KAIVITI' FOR A LEGAL JOB. It is obvious even to 'Blind Freddy' that most of the judicial appointments are being made on the basis of 'kila vata' connections. Basically, 'hei, where are you, come, take up a job in the judiciary'. We are witnessing the total i-taukeinization of the judiciary, just like shortly after the 1987 Rabuka coups.
