China’s Ambassador, Zhou Jian with Lynda Tabuya [Source: Fiji Government/Facebook]
*According to a letter (dated 5 June 2024) to Sitiveni Rabuka, and cited by Fijileaks, Coalition Minister Lynda Tabuya is accused of having:
*Organized a private fund-raising in her village, upon which she
facilitated and accepted a cheque from the Chinese Ambassador being a Foreign Government.
*The amount given was $172,000. When the complainant sent an email to Tabuya questioning the nature of the fund-raising, she [Tabuya] allegedly posted on her Village Facebook chat advising her villagers to protect her and she will take care of it per se.
*The facebook Village chat group she posted on is Tikina o Nakasaleka
& Yasana o Kadavu.
"Sir [Sitiveni Rabuka], the people of Fiji voted for a change and unfortunately, we are not getting that change that we see corruption occurring left, right and centre. As a government minister soliciting and
accepting funds from a foreign government being China and advising her villagers to protect her shows the extend of her deceit and betrayal that I raise serious questions on her integrity and allegiance to Fiji. Sir, I humbly request that you do what is right and as you have seen these
ministers that you appointed are the very ones who have betrayed and lied to you due to their own ambition, greed, and hunger for power, but you still protect them and what for? When the world over is watching Fiji and what it does that under your leadership I see no change only
embarrassment after embarrassment. It is on this basis that I hope you will think of our nation and what is best for it and who you choose to represent it." - The Complainant, 5 June 2024 to Sitiveni Rabuka
Fijileaks: We have not been able to obtain a response from Tabuya
