Probably the best given in a few words, from blogger Peace Pipe
Chodos methods are archaic and not up with the times. He uses the same old ways of confrontational approach in dealing with situations. Its like have it my way and no other or else stuff evrything up. Very bad for business and the economy. He should have been gotten rid of long ago and Fiji would have been a much place to live now.

Thanks for the accredition SV. If we look back in recent history we can only single out one person who has refused to leave the political scene and through this person untold damages and losses have afflicted the nation with his very negative attitude. Since the days of the alliance govt no one has remained in politics to this day except him. He is power hungry devious vindictive and confrontational. He should have just remained in the trade unions but the taste of power has overwhelmed his senses that he continues his quest for power using people such as the farmers and loyal and blind or equally devious supporters.

He is greedy and selfish to the core. He is in politics for the love of making tons of money ie…wielding his power and influence to extract very large sums of money from whoever he is able to do it. Watch this Fiji Water saga. If there is a breakthrough, it is more than likely that he has succeeded in extorting US$$$$m from the owners if thy wish t0 continue. Ideal situation for him.Hhe is confrontational, and bullying,and he uses it well to get himself $$$. The bottom line is basically large sums of monbey…His son and him are in the $$$ extortion industry big time.

Well stated Peace Pipe. Given his bottom feeding modus operandi and ability to slip his tentacles into all sorts of places, it’s no surprise he has been dubbed CHODOPU$$.

Just watched Daryl Tarte on the Close Up programme.Very interesting.
The I loathe all those who accepted positions in the pigs NCBBF council,what Tarte said was quite a suprise.
He revealed that he was there to see the that the workings of the council was free from the influence of the illegal regime.He also mentioned that the enactment of the charter should be independent from the pigs commitment to hold elections in March 2009.
Though the charter may take 1-2 years to complete,he said that the elections must go ahead as scheduled.If he thought that the independence and impartiality of the council was compromised and influenced by the junta,he would step down.
It would be nice to think that people like Tarte and Mick Beddoes have joined the council in an attempt to steer it away from its confrontational attitude towards the Fijian people and their institutions.
And it would be nice to hope that there are other like minded people who have accepted positions in the council just so that they can frustrate the regimes agenda and maybe even sabotage their evil plans.
Something like the Trojan Horse concept.
But maybe thats just wishful thinking on my part as I’m sure fellow bloggers will beg to differ.

I agree and this is well known all around. This fuck en asshole of Chodo does not realise how we badly want a piece of him, comes change in leadership.
Bainivoceke and Chodo were the only suckers who refused counselling after the 2000 coup, this is why their life revolves around the year 2000. But what Bainivoceke does not realize that Chodo as his personal revenge, wants to take the nation to it’s knees economically and make deals to earn $$$$ for long term luxury.

Good work SV, it is no joke anymore what is happening in the Fiji Water case. They are really pissed off since they had sponsored the FLP in the last election by giving a cheque of $50,000 to Felix Anthony. See what happened next, the very same party officials are coming back at Fiji Water.
Infor from reliable sources reveals that the land on which Fiji Water sits belongs to a company called Yaqara Pastoral Co. Ltd. Fiji Water pays royalty to Yaqara which is currently owned by govt. Yaqara pastoral was on the verge ofg being sold to the owners of Fiji Water but the Chodoman has blocked it and close sources say that an Indian consortium is interested in buying the Yaqara company which also owns the land for the proposed studio city. So you see folks, there is more to the simple frustrating tactics being thrown at Fiji Water with a belief that they might give up, pack and leave Fiji.
On the issue of transfer pricing practised by Fiji Water, there might be some truth to it but to actually stop exports is unacceptable to Fiji’s ailing economy where foreign exchange dollars is badly needed. Secondly, the spinoffs that comes from Fiji Water benefits alot of supporting industries like transport, electricity, shipping etc…and since the stoppage of exports two weeks ago, trucking companies in the West have felt the pinch and have laid off some poor workers.
At the end of the day, one needs to look at the real motives by FIRCA to stop exports. Any normal thinking person will not do such a drastic decision to cut off the lifeline for an ailing economy. Well, what else can we say, its the way the chodoman wants to rule Fiji and it wont be long when he will face the wrath of Mr Gilmour and his Mafia group from the US. It will be history as at least he will be circumcised by the mafia for free….
Only time will tell….

FijiTimes:
Reconsider bans, says Chaudhry
1458 FJT
Sunday, January 20, 2008
“Update: 2.58pm INTERIM Finance Minister, Mahendra Chaudhry wants New Zealand and Australia to discard sanctions on Fiji and embrace a policy of constructive re-engagement”.
No word on if or when Chodo will “discard sanctions” on Fijians “and embrace a policy of constructive re-engagement” with them by getting the hell out of sustaining an illegal coup and holding an election.

Why is chodo telling NZ and Oz to lift the travel bans. He is not the legal spokesperson of the country. Anyway he is just a illegal finance/sugar minister. The one who should be talking is the illegal Foreign minister as that is his portfolio not chodos. Maybe because Kings Cross beckons and he cannot resist any more. Just let these countries deal with it in their own time. They are democracies who see this IG as illegal and therefore do not support it.
January 20, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Maybe the real reason Chodo’s is trying to put his finger in every pie in Fiji before Fiji is really ruined by a civil war is that he is trying to buffer up his bank account overseas and set up Junior.
While this is going on he will set up Fijian against Fijian and keep them busy in useless things like the Charter while he steals the taxpayers money from under their noses.

To all of Chaudhry’s supporters I want to ask just one question. Why did he refuse to join the genuine power sharing cabinet offered by Qarase? If he tried it and didn’t work, he could walk away and say why, but he wouldn’t even try, just as he didn’t follow the spirit or the
letter of the constitution in 1999. Instead, he has been more attracted by illegal power. Doesn’t that tell you something about the man?

This chodo should have been shot in the 2000coup, Fiji would have been better without him (the snake)!!!
