*$120,000 HEIST. And Tanya Waqanika associate's fees is $250 per hour.*As FICAC Commissioner (granted three weeks holiday by Rabuka's Coalition government to interfere with FICAC witnesses) Barbara Malimali must be charged immediately with alleged Abuse of Office and Tanya Waqanika should be charged with allegedly receiving a Corrupt Benefit. |
*Now, let us see what Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka will do? With the JSC going rogue, will Rabuka exercise his powers, under the Constitution and advice the President to suspend Barbara Malimali. |
*They were so blinded by political and other motives that they manipulated the law for purposes not ideally intended to serve, with the Fiji Law Society president Wylie Clarke silent as a 'church mouse'. But, then, he has been caught on 'Recording' whisking Malimali away.
*The 'Recording' led Malimali to sack her chief investigator Kuliniasi Saumi while he was still testifying before the COI.
*In recent days a gaggle of so-called experts, including Leung and Biman Prasad (Ficac Fugitive), want the 2013 Constitution changed - when they failed to interpret basic provisions that allows Barbara Malimali to be suspended. |
*Electoral offences are criminal in nature, with heavy fines and imprisonment (The former Chief Justice Anthony Gates, 2018).
*Prasad consistently and prolifically lied (2014-2024) in his statutory declarations under the Political Parties Act 2013
*$90,000 HEIST from FICAC Budget. Our FICAC sources allege that Malimali has unlawfully forced FICAC Manager to pay another $90,000 to her COI legal counsel Tanya Waqanika in legal fees. |
Fijileaks: RESIGN, Attorney-General Graham Leung, for refusing to provide $15,000 to the COI to obtain the NZ KC's legal opinion. The Attorney-General's Office, the Solicitor-General's Office and the Chief Justice SALESI TEMO could have provided the same legal opinion free of charge. But they did not, for they were protecting BARBARA MALIMALI |
*Justice Pathik, good-natured Holi celebration, and the question of apprehended bias and recusal in the High Court
By VICTOR LAL (Opinion Column, Fiji Sun, 2008)
"I want to dispute the interim Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum’s warning to the media that he would not tolerate any contempt of court and comments on the recent judgment and anybody bringing the judiciary or the administration of justice into contempt will be called to account for their actions. I presume he knows better as a student of law that the conduct of the judges and their judgments are open to scrutiny once a court has delivered a judgment. His constant threats to the media only reinforce “the all-too-common tendency to view the attorney-general and his department as no more than the law firm that is always on call to serve the interest of the political party that is in power at the time.” The A-G, despite his political role as a supporter and advisor to the government, is meant to wear an apolitical hat in his parens patriae role as guardian of the public interest. The judiciary and the media are also guardians of the public interest."
