Fijileaks: Last Friday, FEO told FICAC, 'Kindly refer to the following documents from the Acting Supervisor of Elections and hard copies of the same will be delivered to your office this afternoon'.Fijileaks to NFP's Home Affairs Minister PIO TIKODUADUA:
From Fijileaks Archive, 28 February 2024I am writing this letter to lodge an official complaint regarding one Biman Prasad who is the Party Leader of the National Federation Party which is currently in the Coalition Government. I note that Biman Prasad has declared that his income being $188,000 per annum, however he failed to declare the FNFP contribution as it added on top of his salary under the Parliamentary Remuneration Act 2014, excluding his personal contribution as required by law (Attached as exhibit 1- Parliamentary Remuneration Act 2014). I state the following: 1. Under section 24 (1)(A) (B) (i) which stipulate one must declare total assets whether in Fiji or Abroad (including money and other property) in their possession or under their control. Therefore, I argue that FNPF contributions and any funds is considered personal property as one can have access to funds as stipulated in the withdrawal provisions of the fund being FNPF. Therefore, Biman Prasad should have declared his contributions and the amount held by FNPF. I note the case precedent used by Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum whereby in one of his previous declarations he declared his FNFP declarations. Therefore, the same must apply in this case. 2. I note that Biman Prasad failed to declare his travel allowances during his overseas travel and the amounts he received. That evidence is in office and can be verified upon your perusal of his declaration. 3. I noted that Biman Prasad failed to declare that he is the Governor of the Asian Development Bank in Fiji. As that position is not Gazette to him under the Parliamentary Remuneration Act 2014 it is thus separate to his Minister of Finance Post- which must be declared under section 24 (1) (ab) (iv) of the Political Parties Act where a person must declare any directorship or other office in a corporation or other organisation whether in Fiji or Abroad held by each of them. In support I attach exhibit 2- Asian Development Bank Documents stating that Biman Prasad is Governor of the Reserve Bank. 4. I note that Biman Prasad did not declare that his wife one Dr Rajni Chand is the trustee of the Global Girmit Institute and that it facilitated the funds of $200,000 given by the Coalition Government. The Not for Profit Organisation was re-registered in 2023, after it deregistered in February 2022 for failing to supply its financial statements as required under the laws of Fiji. The period of re-registration falls within the required period upon which Biman Prasad is required to declare in his 2023 Financial Declaration (Attached is exhibit 3- Global Institute Deed of Trust and Registration Documents). 5. I note that Biman Prasad did not declare his connection to Ganesh Chand and Hirdesh Sharma whom are the registered Trustees of the Global Girmit Institute upon whom received $200,000 of Tax payers funds. This is a breach under section 24 (a) (b) (iii) of the Political Parties Act. I submit that no tender was called in relation to the event organisation. 6. I note that Biman Prasad declared that he owns 50 percent shares in Lotus Construction Pte Limited, however upon obtaining the registration documents and the Article of Association – it was established that Biman Prasad only has a 5 percent share in Louts Construction and not the 50 percent share he claims in his declaration (Attached as exhibit 4- Lotus Construction Pte Limited Registration Documents and the Article of Association). The document was re-lodged in 2022 with the date of the Article of Association dated and signed in 2014 and upon which the re- registration occurred in 2022. 7. I note that one of the directors of Lotus Construction upon which Biman Prasad has shares in is Sunil Chand (Please refer to exhibit 4). Biman Prasad did not declare the business connection with Sunil Chand who has the same Lotus Construction company in Australia thus being a breach under section 24 (a) (b) (iii) of the Political Parties Act 2014 (Attached is exhibit 5- Louts Construction registration in Australia). 8. Biman Prasad’s spouse Dr Rajni Prasad [Chand] did not declare that she is Chairperson to Femlink Pacific (Please note she has held this position 2009 to date), therefore being a breach under 24 (1a) (d) of the Political Parties Act (Attached is exhibit 6- Femlink Document stipulating that Dr Rajni Prasad is the Chairman of the organisation). Dr Rajni Chand may/may not be receiving a salary from this post nonetheless it was a non-declaration. 9. I note that Biman Prasad and Dr Rajni Chand have not declared under section 24 (1) (a,b (iii) and 24 (1A) (c) of the Political Parties Act 2014 their business transaction to one Dr Ganesh Chand who is the co-trustee of the Global Girmit Institutre as previously mentioned. However, due to the business transaction the fact must be taken into account is that Biman Prasad allocated $1 million to Pacific Polytech whose Advisor is Dr Ganesh Chand. Please note that there was no tender process in line with the Laws of Fiji. Please note that Pacific Polytech has not submitted that their Audit reports as required. The funds was transferred in 2022 to Pacific Polytech. I therefore submit this complaint for the breaches under the Political Parties Act 2014 upon which I understand that whilst some elements of this complaint cannot be handled by your office. You must, therefore, refer the matter to FICAC under section 18 of the Political Parties Act. *Complainant's name withheld by Fijileaks. Fijileaks: Sunil Chand of Lotus Construction is Biman Prasad's business partner and cousin from Labasa. He resides in Sydney, Australia. We understand they have a motel in Legalega, Nadi. Also, apartments in Grantham Rd, Raiwaqa. Krishil Kumar is Prasad's nephew at HFC. |
*Thankfully, 'Wild Goose' ended up laying the 'Golden Egg' with Lautoka Family Court disclosing that it was not you but your female client who had filed the divorce papers via post from California. | Mikaele Lewaicei, the former RFMF soldier |
*The Minister for Justice claims that the complainant [Lewaicei] was never at any point his client and stresses that the role of journalists is to publish fair, balanced and accurate news articles.
Fijileaks: Where in its story did Fiji Sun claim that Lewaicei was your client?
The COUPLE who live in Sacramento, California, obtained a marriage license from their State but travelled to adjoining suburb of Penryn to get married in the Hope Lutheran Church. How did they obtain the marriage license when both were still married, and did not have nisi decrees on them. Unless they were provided fake nisi decrees from someone in Fiji
FEAR OF THE DRUG LORDS: We understand that certain witnesses including Mrs Radrodro were too frightened to come forward because of Lynda Tabuya's alleged links to the underworld drug lords, the sinister peddlers freely roaming around Fiji because of Pio Tikoduadua's failure to snuff them out. He, like Rabuka, has been defending Lynda Tabuya
Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has confirmed that there are no official reports or complaints lodged against the Minister for Women, Children, and Poverty Alleviation, Lynda Tabuya. Responding to concerns surrounding Tabuya’s position, Rabuka asserted that she will retain her portfolio. “Yes, and I won’t say that.” Highlighting the significance of concrete evidence in judicial decisions, Rabuka emphasized his commitment to avoiding decisions based solely on unverified allegations. He also expressed his reluctance to rely on the People’s Alliance Disciplinary Committee’s decision to remove Tabuya as Deputy Leader of the Party. Source: FBC News | BONKER and the BONELESS |
*It is alleged that Turaga, while in private legal practice, took over Mrs Mikaele Lewaicei's divorce application case on 27 July 2022 and on 6 August 2022, she got married in California to a fellow i-Taukei without being granted a decree nisi from Fiji. In fact, no divorce was granted in Fiji, and Mr and Mrs Lewaicei still remain married under the laws of Fiji. How Turaga's former legal client got married is now the subject of a Police case after Mikaele Lewaicei filed a police complaint.
*It is against the law to marry someone else while you are still legally married and going through a divorce. This means that getting remarried during a divorce process is not allowed in any of the 50 states in the United States, as it would be considered entering into a new marriage while already being married to another person.
A Fijilleaks investigation reveals that new hubby Sami Galluvakadua is still married to his own wife. Fijiwood v Hollywood. It can't get better, Fiji.
*The Fiji Police, with assistance from their counterparts in Sacramento, San Francisco, are investigating a criminal complaint from former soldier MIKAELE LEWAICEI against Attorney-General SIROMI TURAGA who stands accused of facilitating the marriage of his 'village cousin' from Nairai to another man while she remained married to Lewaicei.
*It is alleged that Turaga, while in private legal practice, took over Mrs Lewaicei's divorce application case on 27 July 2022 and a month later, on 6 August 2022, she got married in California to a fellow i-Taukei without having a decree nisi from Fiji. In fact, no divorce was granted in Fiji, and Mr and Mrs Lewaicei still remain married under the laws of Fiji.
*Turaga had fallen foul with the Bainimarama-Khaiyum regime as resident magistrate during Covid-19 when he had acquitted two men of breaching a curfew. He had ruled that the charge was defective as Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama had no power to order arrests under the Public Health Act.
*His contract was not extended. He went into private practice, and later stood as PAP candidate in the election, and was appointed Attorney-General after PAP formed Coalition with SODELPA and the National Federation Party.
*According to a police statement cited by Fijileaks from Lewaicei:
Fijileaks Update: A further search revealed that an application for divorce was filed in the Lautoka Family Court but allegedly not by Turaga.
*According to court sources, it was sent via post from the United States by Mrs Lewaicei but the matter was struck off because both the parties did not attend. Mikaele Lewaicei was not aware of the divorce application nor was he informed. He was serving in the Sinai. He is the son of the former Police Commissioner, the late Josefo Lewaicei.
*What role, if any Turaga played, await a detailed response from him.
Since Mrs Lewaicei is a professed Catholic (still not divorced) the marriage ceremony and party was held in a Lutheran Church
California Penal Code 281: Bigamy Legal Definition:
Every person having a spouse living, who marries or enters into a registered domestic partnership with any other person, except in the cases specified in Section 282 , is guilty of bigamy. PC 281 does not extend to any of the following:
(a) To any person by reason of any former marriage or former registered domestic partnership whose spouse by such marriage or registered domestic partnership has been absent for five successive years without being known to such person within that time to be living.
(b) To any person by reason of any former marriage, or any former registered domestic partnership, which has been pronounced void, annulled, or dissolved by the judgment of a competent court.
What does this mean? It is a crime in California for a person, already married, to get married to another person. It is also a crime to marry a person that is already married. Commonly, people will attempt to divorce but never finalize the legal paperwork for one reason or another.
People can live separately, not talk to each other, and believe that they are somehow divorced.
After this separation, the same person marries again without realizing that the divorce from their first marriage was never finalized (due to a lack of formality). In that case, they have committed bigamy.
Penalties
*Bigamy is a wobbler crime, meaning it can be charged as a misdemeanor or as a felony, based on the level of the deceit, your criminal history, and the specific facts of your case. If you are convicted of this charge as a misdemeanor, you could be sentenced to up to one year in County Jail.
If you are convicted of this offense as a felony, you could be sentenced to upwards of 16 months, two or three years in State Prison.
*LYNDA TABUYA must be sacked from People's Alliance Party and from the Parliament of Fiji. She broke the Ministerial Code of Conduct and has brought irreparable harm to the image of Fiji by snorting weed, downing Jack Daniels, so she could be brutally bonked by Sodelpa's then Education Minister Aseri Radrodro, the father of Rabuka's grandchildren.
*Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka's past mistakes regarding women are an irrelevant consideration, as a public servant and current occupant of the Prime Minister's Office, his decision must be based on upholding public integrity and principles of good governance.
*Surely, he should realise that saving Tabuya, will make a mockery of the dignity of his high office and Cabinet, and will take him and Tabuya both the slippery slope of disgrace and dishonour.
*It may also cost the People's Alliance the next election.
*We stand by our decision to reveal the text messages between Tabuya and Radrodro, whether they were obtained legally or illegally. |
VIOLATION OF POLICE MARCH PERMIT?
*The Fiji Police must inform us whether Shamima Ali was granted permit to march for 'Reclaim the Night' or was she granted permit to use the megaphone to demand that Government leave Tabuya alone?
*We wonder how many women Shamima Ali is 'counselling' are victims of domestic violence after these women questioned their husbands if they had been 'bonking another woman', whether in hotel room or elsewhere?
*As for Lynda Tabuya, to pre-empt any move on her part to join forces with her 'brutal bonker' and bring the Coalition government down, is to EXPEL her from PAP and PARLIAMENT. Finito!
MRS ARI TANIGUCHI and the LECHOROUS NFP leader Biman Prasad
Neither Shamima Ali nor Lynda Tabuya stood up for Mrs Taniguchi. If anything, Fiji's attitude towards the Japanese Associate Professor was that her husband was exacting revenge because Prasad dropped Hiroshi Taniguchi as NFP's provisional candidate in the 2022 general election.
*Isa, the same ploy by Tabuya who accused two lawyers on the PA Disciplinary Committee of wanting her removed as Deputy Leader.
*Last week the former DPP and lay talatala ACA RAYAWA was spotted sipping coffee with Tabuya in Suva, and later his support for her on his Facebook was brought to our attention. He claimed Tabuya's 'bonking and weed-taking messages' to Radrodro were 'private' and those in possession were guilty of 'espionage'. Crikey, God Help, Fiji.
*Yet, he was the same Rayawa who, when Prasad's 'Sext' messages were revealed, had claimed that the 'Professor' has a history of sexual deviancy, especially when the 'Professor' was at the USP.
*Rayawa called on Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho to ignore DPP Christopher Pryde's decision not to prosecute Prasad, and re-charge the NFP leader, and simultaneously issue an injunction. He advised Qiliho to file a Judicial Review against Pryde's decision not to prosecute.
*Now, when it comes to Lynda Tabuya, he is threatening 'espionage' and that her 'bonking and weed-taking messages' are subject to privacy laws.
*We suggest Rayawa should go back to law school if one law on 'leaked text messages' applies to Tabuya and another to Prasad.
TWISTING THE 'KNIFE' INTO NFP LEADER PRASAD OVER 'SEXTGATE'
From Fijileaks Archive, 15 November 2022
RAYAWA ON LYNDATEXTGATE: Now, Rayawa is reading from different law text book when it comes to Womens and Childrens Minister Tabuya
Isa, Fiji. We wonder if GOD is talking to the lay talatala in forked tongue?
He was the 2006 military dictatorship appointed illegal acting DPP. He never qualified for the post. He was a senior legal officer who was appointed by Aiyaz Khaiyum, without even meeting Minimum Qualification Requirements for the post of DPP. He was only a lawyer for some five or six years when appointed as illegal DPP.
BLOODY MUTINY, RABUKA AND ACA RAYAWA: His Account Disputed
*From our research for the book on the 2000 mutiny, we had established that it was Viliame Seruvakula (currently GGC chairman) who had ordered Rabuka off the barracks.
*Our late friend, impeccable source for over four decades, and veteran diplomat POSECI BUNE, after reading Rayawa's Facebook claim that it was he (Rayawa) who had arrested Rabuka, and then had decided not to put a bullet through his head as ordered by his commanding officers, told our Editor-in-Chief on 31 March 2023.
"Kai, Correction. It was Col Seruvakula (he was Commander of the 3FIR unit training for three days in Nadroga when they were ordered to return and reclaim the camp from the CRW and Siti) who stood to attention at the side of the snooker table and saluted then told him “Come out from there, Sir, and get into your car and leave the Camp”….He shared this story with me and a few other OBs at a grog session over my place at Domain while waiting to relocate after the mutiny.
Meanwhile, another Lt Colonel who took part in quelling the mutiny had told us about Rayawa's claims: 'He is bull fkn shitting.'
"There were no orders to execute him (Rabuka) and if he (Rayawa) got the orders, he had no guts to have done it. I wasn't even aware of him in the assault which was partly led by his elder brother RIP Major Naulu Rayawa and some other Field Officers. I know because I had to hold ground at QEB that night. If Aca was there then he was a real nobody in the operation.
Rewa Bullshit. RB ga na RB.
