MALIMALI IGNORES FICAC LEGAL ADVICE. Last year, Ficac's legal team reminded Malimali, FICAC charged Riyaz Khaiyum for similar conduct. FBC paid his legal fees for civil action of defamation of character.
*Malimali turned a blind eye and forced Ficac to pay Waqanika.
*FICAC's legal department advised her that she was NOT entitled to dip into Ficac budget to pay Tanya Waqanika because Barbara Malimali was appearing in personal capacity before the Commission of Inquiry. | *Despite legal advise given to Malimali formally, she went ahead and approved payment of $30,000 to Waqanika last week. | *Ficac cited the case of Riyaz Khaiyum-Vimlesh Sagar. |
*WAQANIKA is yet to respond to us. Police MUST charge both of them.
*The RFMF must stand ready to invoke s131(2) and overthrow Malimali.
*This woman is beyond rehabilitation, protected by powerful 'Fiji mafia'.
*We understand COI wants her suspended and a report has been filed with Fiji Police to investigate her for intimidating COI FICAC Witness.
