In another "Fiji Live" report on 7 March, Rabukawaqa called on the Military to make a wise choice. ""Our concern will be the character and the credibility of the nominations of the people who will actually sit in the office of the President and the Vice President,"" Rabukawaqa said. No person who would bring the office into disrepute should be chosen, he insisted. He refused, however, to say what the Military might do if a coup-convict were to be appointed, saying that he would not comment on hypothetical scenarios. His comments followed a call the previous day from the Prime Minister to respect the rule of law and avoid interfering in the selection of the President and Vice-President. Laisenia Qarase said that he himself would not attempt to influence the decision, even though he was constitutionally entitled to be consulted.
