Bainimarama: No Military Officer Will Benefit From the Coup
SOURCES in the Corrections Department are claiming that the convicted SUNCOURT Hardware director Dhansukh Lal Bhikha  is running shops in Naboro, Lautoka and Suva prisons. Bhikha, they claim, is treated as special prisoner who works full time in the Naboro shop with no supervision and he sleeps in separate quarters where he enjoys unsupervised visits from his wife. The business he is operating used to be the Co-operative store for officers but he has turned it into a mini super market. The funds do not go to revenue but supposedly to staff welfare fund controlled by the Commissioner Lieutenant-Colonel Ifereimi Vasu. Furthermore, the financial statements of the business is not being checked or audited. Vasu has recently opened a shop in his village in Kadavu set up by Bhikha and goods are being transported to the boat by Prison trucks. Last Christmas, prisoner Bhikha hosted Prison staff to a party in Naboro where he entertained officers and their spouses to drunken stupor. In 2011 Bhikha was jailed for four and half years and is eligible for parole after serving three and half years. The former Agriculture Ministry principal accounts officer Suliasi Sorovakatini was sentenced to five years imprisonment with a non-parole period of four years. The two were found guilty of three counts of official corruption.

They are taking advantage of the entrepreneurship of Bika for their own personal gain on the pretext of inmates rehabilitation. Under the military regime high profile prisoners are normally given task in areas of their expertise to assist in the so called rehabilitation of inmates and other administration works and can be considered a very dangerous practice as it can lead to corruption if it is not managed according to law. Kunatuba, Kean and others were given similar privileges while in custody which created a lot of conflicts with correctional officers in terms of their treatment, as they were communicating directly with the Commissioner who normally ruled in their favour and disregarding the views of officers and the rule of law. Vasu should be investigated and if the allegation is true then he should be taken to task.

    "...Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy... censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives." --Robert A.
