Following devastation caused by Tropical Cyclone Winston in February 2016, Jack's of Fiji contributed $100,000 to the Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund and personally distributed $120,000 worth of brand new clothing and grocercy packages to affected communities in the Western Division. Four years later, we are still waiting to see an audited account of the Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund running into millions. |

In May 2014, Bainimarama had notified the Fijian Elections Office that he was to be Leader of the FFP, the Minister for Women, Social Welfare and Poverty Alleviation, the late Dr Jiko Luveni, was listed as the President. The two listed Vice-Presidents were Bijai Prasad, a former senator and the former Nadi branch President of the Fiji Labour Party, and Tui Macuata, Ratu Wiliame Maivalili Katonivere. Vimlesh Kumar, an accountant and an affiliate member of CPA Australia, was listed as the Treasurer and , Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum was listed as the party's General Secretary.
IF we read the FijiFIRST PARTY CONSTITUTION, Shailesh Kumar was NEVER, and still is NOT, a FOUNDING MEMBER. Either FFP embellished his position in the party or it was deliberately inserted to deceive the Fijian Elections Office. Whatever Ponga title is after his Donor name, he broke the law, and so did Khaiyum and Saneem by hiding his illegal $70,000 donation from us for the last SIX YEARS. One cannot become a Foundation Member after the Party is formed. You become a Foundation Member when it is formed.
In 2016, Shailesh Kumar collected $515,000 in donations for FijiFirst Party. But just look at the erratic way he has issued receipts, raising serious questions. On 14 September 2016, he issued receipt number 933 to Vinod Tappoo for $10,000. On the same day he issued receipt number 954 to Kamlesh Tappoo. Three mothers later, on 13 December 2016, his receipt numbers are suddenly issued in descending order: 944-949. As we asked previously, where did he get hold of the Tappoos - in their boardrooms, in their houses, or in a hired bus, and whether the womenfolk really gave him the donations in person, in cash or in cheque? There is widespread acceptance among the Indo-Fijian community that most women do not have personal bank accounts running into thousands of dollars. How can Saneem claim FFP donation list is in order? We call on FICAC to take over the investigation. And, for these women donors and their children to prove that they actually gave Shailesh Kumar their own thousands of dollars as donation to FijiFIRST PARTY between 2014 and 2019
The money was collected on 28/8/2014
HOW was $F23,237.92 in HARD CASH repatriated into Fiji? In DIPLOMATIC SUITCASE? From the receipt issued to FijiFIRST Sydney, the money was received in CASH. Who brought the money in Australian currency and converted it into Fiji Dollars? Was it Frank Bainimarama? If so, did he declare the cash to Immigration authorities in Syndey and on arrival in Fiji? FRANK Bainimarama was fund-raising in Sydney in August 2014. According to FFP Donor List to the Fijian Elections Office, the money was received on 28 August 2014. Why was the receipt issued to the FijiFirst Sydney Chapter on 16 September 2014? The only way we can establish the truth is by filing an official complaint with FICAC and the Australian Federal Police against FFP and its Australian FijiFIRST Chapter
Who issued the receipt? Whose signature is it? Who received the receipt? Was it posted to the Sydney Chapter or someone from Sydney collected it in person from FFP Headquarters at 96 Brown Street, Suva? How do we know the amount listed in the receipt is factually correct? How was the money raised, Aiyaz Khaiyum? Through Gosh Fulia, Kava Fulia, Beer Fulia, Taralala Fulia or simply cash dumped into Brown Jiffy Bag? Who were the donors? Names, please? And, why did Supervisor of Elections accept the Australian donation as Gospel Truth?
The former FFP Sydney Chapter general secretary JASON NARAYAN has refused to co-operate with us. He had donated $600 to FFP and in October 2014 he (Jason) and FFP Australia Chapter president Alan Gork had flown into Fiji to be part of FijiFIRST West interfaith thanksgiving service at Churchill Park, Lautoka. It seems he has switched his political allegiance from FFP to SODELPA
Jason Narayan donated the money on 10/8/2014
Fijians protest against Bainimarama's 2014 trip to Sydney
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, MR SPEAKER SIR, 'Our donations are squeaky clean...Who donated $70,000 to NFP through Gosh Fulia, Sir..."

From Grubsheet Feejee, 18 October 2020
Reports are emerging of a serious diplomatic incident in Suva 10 days ago in which two Chinese diplomats from the Suva embassy assaulted a member of the Taiwanese delegation in Fiji. The incident allegedly took place on the evening of Thursday October 8 on the fringes of a reception at the Grand Pacific Hotel hosted by the Taipei Trade Office to celebrate Taiwan’s National Day.
There was no mention of the incident in the publicity about the event released by the Taiwanese, that included a speech by Taiwan’s representative in Fiji, Jessica Lee, emphasising cooperation in such fields as agriculture and medicine and praising Fiji’s climate leadership. Yet the event was evidently marred by an astonishing physical altercation between mainland diplomats and a Taiwanese official.
Grubsheet understands that two members of the Chinese Embassy gatecrashed the function and began taking photographs of the proceedings and of those attending the function, which according to the Taiwanese included members of the diplomatic corps, international organisations, NGOs and Fiji’s Chinese community. According to well placed sources, they were asked to leave by a male member of the Taiwanese delegation but refused to do so.
Later the two Chinese embassy officials allegedly assaulted the delegation member, “beating him up so badly ” – according to these accounts – that he required hospital treatment in Suva. The reports say police were called to the GPH but refused to take the matter further when the Chinese officials claimed diplomatic immunity.
The entire incident is said to have been “hushed up” but there is still a diplomatic standoff because Taiwan has lodged an official protest with the Fijian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No other details are available for the moment. But it is clearly unacceptable for Chinese diplomats to assault other foreign representatives on Fijian soil. The two may be claiming diplomatic immunity but it does not give them the freedom to break Fijian law in such a flagrant and outrageous manner.
It is open to Fiji to declare the two Chinese diplomats persona non grata – the diplomatic term for an unacceptable or unwelcome individual – and require their removal from the country. But this is going to be a big test for the FijiFirst government’s resolve because of its close ties with Beijing and it is not a good sign that ten days have passed so far without public comment.
Only six days before the GPH incident, on October 2, the Chinese ambassador in Suva, Qian Bo, hosted Fiji’s “big three” – the President, Jioji Konrote, the Prime Minister, Frank Bainimarama and the Speaker of the Parliament, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau – at a function at the Chinese residence to celebrate the founding of the People’s Republic.
Relations between the Fijian government and Beijing are extremely close. Last year, Fiji bowed to pressure from China to force Taiwan to rename its office in Suva from the “Trade Mission of the Republic of China” to the “Taipei Trade Office”. Taiwan protested against the decision to no avail.
The GPH incident is evidently part of a global pattern of aggressive behaviour by the mainland to assert its claim to Taiwan, which includes President Xi Jinping threatening to invade the island by the end of the decade. Fiji is not the only country in which Chinese diplomats have been behaving badly.
Yet however small we are and whatever the level of Chinese aid, we cannot and must not tolerate unlawful behaviour on Fijian soil and the two offenders should be declared persona non grata as soon as possible and be withdrawn from Fiji.

This week I declined to accept a medal awarded to me for the 50th anniversary of Fiji’s independence. I am commenting on this because I owe an explanation to all those who nominated me for the award.
On the evening of Sunday October 11th, I received an emailed letter from the office of the President Konrote advising me that I had been awarded one of the commemorative medals. I was invited to be at an award ceremony at Government House on Tuesday October 13th at 11am.
I must emphasize that I was appreciative and touched by the initiative of Mr Ben Daveta and Mr Peter Waqavonovono to nominate me. My sincere thanks as well, to those whom Ben and Peter encouraged to endorse the initial recommendation about me to the College of Honour.
On October 12th I replied to His Excellency President Konrote and expressed my gratitude to the citizens who recommended me, as well as to the members of the College of Honour for accepting the recommendation, and to His Excellency for endorsing it.
I said that regrettably however, and with no intent of being disrespectful, I could not accept the award and laid out my reasons for this which was:
His Excellency’s government's suppression [of] our Indigenous First Citizens through the imposed 17 or more decrees that specifically discriminate against them while all other communities in Fiji, including my own, are not subject to any such repressive laws;
His government’s continuing refusal to ratify the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, UNDRIP, which would give our Indigenous First citizens the International recognition and the protection to which they are entitled.
I said there were many other serious issues that contributed to my decision not to accept the award. These included, but were not limited to, the continuing ban on Fiji citizens from returning home. I mentioned in particular Fiji’s most distinguished historian Dr Brij Lal, and his equally distinguished wife and fellow academic, Dr Padma Lal.
Other violations of our citizens’ rights that I highlighted included:
• Human rights abuse and deaths that remain unresolved. Family members are still waiting for justice;
• The slow strangulation of the democratic processes of Parliament to the detriment of the people of Fiji;
• Locking up and intimidation of MPs and other citizens reportedly for their social media postings;
• The nighttime arrest of the NFP Party President and MP, for a social media posting.
• The widely publicized assault by the Prime Minister on the same MP within the precincts of Parliament and his subsequent unjust and unfair treatment;
• The unexplained appearance of armed soldiers in Lautoka among distressed unemployed FNPF members waiting to collect their COVID19 crisis support funds;
• The sinister presence of an RFMF armed martial arts squad dressed in black parading though our streets. This was clearly intimidation of our citizenry.
I advised the President that all these incidents are examples of abnormal conduct, inconsistent with the democratic values stipulated in the 2013 constitution.
I also referred to His Excellency’s assertion as reported in The Fiji Times on the 12th October ‘that we have put the ills of the past behind us’. I said that on the contrary, these ills are still very much with us today.
I concluded by saying that the actions by his government that I highlighted were not only in breach of the 2013 constitution; they are a stain on our nation, and they dishonor it.
In the light of these continuing injustices, I could not in all conscience accept the award.
It is my intention to find out who all supported my nomination, invite them home and host them to a thank you evening.

Fijileaks: As much as we sympathize with our dear old comrade MICK BEDDOES, we don't agree with his position relating to UNDRIP: He says he declined the award because, among other reasons, of "Government’s continuing refusal to ratify the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, UNDRIP, which would give our Indigenous First citizens the International recognition and the protection to which they are entitled.". Our Founding Editor-in-Chief has argued against it for decades, pointing out that even without enshrinement, native Fijians have manipulated indigenous rights to unleash death and destruction on Fiji, and there is always the real danger that the tribal divisions between Eastern and Western Fijians would resurface like the pre-cession days and during colonial times. The late Dr Timoci Bavadra, after being deposed by Sitiveni Rabuka's coups, had spoken out against indigenous rights claims suddenly espoused by Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara and Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau. Argued Bavadra in 1989:
"The 1957 Convention was desgined to safeguard the interests of the indigenous peoples who had become minorities in their own land and who continued to suffer the effects of dispossession, discrimination, and political marginaliztion. The Fijian people do not, by any stretch of the imagination, fall into such a category. Far from being politically marginalized, traditional Fijian leaders have enjoyed sustained political control of the country since independence. It is therefore totally absurd to liken the position of Fijians today to that of the Aztecs, the Incas, the Maoris, the Aborigines, etc. all of whom suffered the territorial fate of genocide or systematic oppression as a result of settler colonialism. Ratu Mara also attempts to legitimize the discriminatory provisions for majority representation by claiming that it constituted affirmative action and that it is not intended as an act of discrimination. Politics of affirmative action is aimed at rectifying inequality or discrimination suffered by disadvatnaged groups. Nowhere in the world are they aimed at establishing paramountcy of a particular group at the expense of others."
Bavadra proceeded to contend that the notion of affirmative action was, in reality, a cover to permit the retention of power in the hands of the Fijiian chiefs who had controlled the government since independece. Fijians in the western province had long protested against their unequal representation in the councils of power because of the dominant role of the eastern chielfy establishment. He said his government was overthrown because he was going to launch an investigation into how Mara and Ganilau amassed vast fortunes, with buildings bearing their property names - Mara House, Ganilau House etc. While Indo-Fijian leaders stated that they always respected native Fijian land rights, opposition against the doctrine of special indigenous rights came from another indigenous group of native Fijians. During the election campaign, Bavadra had repeatedly stressed that Fijians were not traditionally a homogenous people, but were divided by dialect, region and social organization. Western Fijians, he pointed out, had a different hierarchical chiefly structures from Easterners who had hierarchical chiefly structures similar to those of the Polynesians.
He saw Eastern chiefly control of Western native Fijians as 'internal colonialism'. The Western native Fijians feared being oppressed, arguing: 'The so-called racial and indigenous rights issues provide a convenient smoke screen to obsure what is really being attempted. By reciting the litany of indigengous rights and offering up what the President has called the migrant races as scapegoats and culprits, the interim goverment has effectively diverted attention from the genuine universal rights issues involved. The interim government's draft constitution not only partially disenfranchises Fiji's Indians, it also, and in some cases more seriously disenfranchises almost three-fourths of the Fijian population.
It might be shocking to one's senses but I don't see Aiyaz Khaiyum as a migrant Indo-Fijian Muslim, oppressing native Fijians and other non-Fijians. He is no different from any native Fijian who regards Fiji as his home, and is as indigenous as the late Sakiasi Butadroka or the new Butadroka incarnate, Niko Nawaikula. Rabuka's 1987 coups opened up the Pandoras Box on who is truly native - and how many generations must one live in Fiji to be regarded as indigenous as Butadroka or Nawaikula. That is one issue we have not resolved for the last 50 years. Rabuka's Coup was for 'Indigenous Rights'. Bainimarama's Coup was 'Fiji for all Fijians'. Sadly, its the ordinary citizens who are bearing the brunt of these coupists treasonous deeds, and looks like for another 50 years. We don't need a MEDAL for telling the truth. As for Khaiyum, power has gone into his head, turning him into a paranoid megalomaniac. He is one of those Fijians who does NOT care about Fiji. And, our people will continue to eat their Gosh Fulia, happily. A VOTE for SODELPA under Rabuka will be continuation of FijiFirst Party horror show. The party must look beyond Race and Indigenous Rights if it wants to win the 2022 Election. I won't be surprised if Khaiyum (unless he is arrested over the donation fraud) will disappear from the political scene after leaving Bainimarama in good financial position to fight the election. Enjoy, your Gosh Fulia and CRY FOR THE BELOVED FIJI

H&H's donation is part of over $1million the Tappoo families donated to FijiFirst Party between 2014 and 2019. This family's donation alone dwarfs what the National Federation Party collected in the last six years. As we have revealed, big business houses exploited the loophole in the Donation Decree, possibly with the encouragment of FFP, and donated millions to FFP to fight the two elections. The Tappoos didn't donate a CENT to the NFP. Harish [Harrish] $15,000 was received by Shailesh Kumar. If its one and same H&H then like Dickson[m] Peng, the donation must be referred to FICAC. We, again, call on FICAC or even the Military Council to take Supervisor of Elections into custody. We call on ordinary Fijians who love their country to take up the matter with FICAC. Don't bank on SODELPA, they are too bloody busy drafting their indigenous rights manifesto for 2022 election so they could hound Indo-Fijians out of Fiji, to fulfil Sitiveni Rabuka's 1987 call to 'EXPEL INDIANS'. Fiji media should go and get comments from Mohammed Saneem, for after all, he made FFP donation lists public stating that it was in order and to his satisfaction. Cry The Beloved Country
SOURCE: Fijileaks Database and Fijian Elections Office
Under the Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding and Disclosures) Act, any person who is a Fiji citizen or a former Fiji citizen shall not make any political donation to a political party or to a candidate for election to Parliament of an amount exceeding $10,000 in any one year (whether to one or more registered political parties or candidates).
PRISON AND NOT PARLIAMENT: Just listen to this MAN (Video below).
Boasting how squeaky clean his FFP Donation List is compared to that of NFP. He questions how NFP could have raised over $70,000 in Gosh Fulia fundraising event. He even had the list of NFP donors on him in Parliament. Who gave him? Was it Saneem, who claims he can't release any details on NFP donors because he is not satisfied with their accounts. Come on, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum, you and your party collected millions from big businessmen, their wives, sons, daughters, and even grandchildren in a day. Did these wives and their children personally write out their cheques? Did you go into their houses or they came to FFPHQ in mini buses? It is time for FICAC to check these donors bank accounts on the day of their donations. FICAC needs to ascertain if these donors had bank accounts, and had sufficient funds to cover their $10,000 each. If they gave CASH, how did they give - in black suitcases or brown jiffy bags? In many cases, we don't have proof of receipts and the receiver from FFP. Khaiyum should be in PRISON, eating Roti and Dhal, for breaching his OWN DONATION DECREE, and so should some of his donors who conspired with him to give over $10,000 limit. Mohammed Saneem, the Supervisor of Elections, should be in an adjacent cell.
"WE complied with the law but NOT NFP, Mr Speaker, Sir"
NO, AIYAZ SAYED KHAIYUM, YOU EXPLOITED THE LAW ON DONATIONS
