*$120,000 HEIST. And Tanya Waqanika associate's fees is $250 per hour. 
*On 24 May 2024, the Election Supervisor Ana Mataiciwa had released the names of over one dozen individuals she had sent to FICAC for further investigation, including that of TANYA WAQANIKA.

FICAC to Siromi Turaga, 5 September 2024: 'We ready to charge Malimali'

Malimali

Waqanika

*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.
*The two so-called lawyers have abused the Ficac Act (s13) and Ficac's Financial Manual to allegedly illegally obtain nearly $120,000 in legal fees for Tanya Waqanika of Waqanika Law.
​*Fiji cannot wait for the COI Report before Malimali and her protectors wreak havoc at FICAC. She is already behaving as if she is above the law.

Fijileaks to Fiji Police and the RFMF: The Evidence Warrants Their Arrests
*Malimali signed a legal contract with Waqanika of Waqanika Law some 14 days after she engaged Waqanika.

*There is a Tender Committee at FICAC that looks at procuring any goods or services for more than $50,000.
​*In fact, for anything above $100, you need three quotations.
*And in the Malimali-Waqanika case, it was more than that amount Waqanika had been paid, which is in breach of the Tender Procedure.
*The Process is that quotations will be sought and the Tender Committee
will deliberate and submit a paper to the Ficac Commissioner with its recommendations on the successful applicant.
*The two so-called lawyers - Barbara Malimali and Tanya Waqanika - could have easily confirmed the process from Ficac's Finance Manager.
*We understand that the FM advised them but Malimali railroaded the Finance Manager into paying Waqanika, threatening DISMISSAL.
*However, Malimali nor Waqanika were entitled to the thousands of dollars of taxpayers money because the COI is looking into Malimali's appointment by the JSC (CJ Salesi Temo and A-G Graham Leung) as FICAC Commissioner.
*The COI is about her appointment which she is attending in her personal capacity. FICAC is not a party to the COI.
*BAKOLA! Neither is FICAC their PIGGY BANK.

PAY UP FINANCE MINISTER BIMAN PRASAD
*It is now SIX WEEKS and His Lordship Justice David Aston-Lewis and Counsel Assisting the COI, Janet Mason, have NOT been paid their fees. *Is Prasad and others facing the probe trying to frustrate the COI?

INTERFERENCE: Fijileaks, 'Barbara Malimali MUST be SUSPENDED'

*Meanwhile, the prominent Labasian - NFP leader, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister BIMAN PRASAD - is still on the run from FICAC, courtesy of Barbara Malimali, for failing to declare his wife's link as a trustee of the Global Girmit Institute (GGI), and dishing out to the GGI $200,000 for the celebration of the 145th Girmit Day without any tender.
​*He was facing 10 charges on 5 September when Malimali stopped it.

*Did the former Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection get it from an Australian drug dealer in Melbourne in August 2023?
*Did Tabuya smuggle it in the 'Diplomatic Bag' into Australia?
*Or was it bought off a local Fijian drug dealer before the trip?
*The Fiji Police must question her how she got hold of the 'weed'.
*PAP had found her guilty of bringing the party into disrepute over her sex and drug-taking scandal in Room 233.
*She had told RNZ that the Fijileaks story was 'FAKE NEWS'.
*Instead of handing her over to Fiji Police, Sitiveni Rabuka had retained her as Minister of Women, Children and Social Protection.
*We had warned him that Tabuya's confession of taking 'weed' in her text exchanges could result in her being denied entry into the United States.
​*Police Commissioner Tudravu must take Tabuya in for questioning.
*He must establish from her the identity [identities] of the 'weed suppliers'.
*For too long, the rich and powerful, have been snorting in our faces.

*JSC Game Plan: Barbara Malimali will resurface at FICAC in three weeks

*Smoking Gun Tape Recording confirms 5 September drama at FICAC

*Sending Barbara Malimali on leave for three weeks means she is still on full salary, with all privileges and benefits intact. It seems the JSC is still protecting her. If she were suspended, it would mean that she did wrong and should face disciplinary action, which would require an investigation into her termination of Kuliniasi Saumi. 
*Sitiveni Rabuka could have put a stop by adviing the President for Malimali's suspension or termination of appointment as per the NZ KC's Opinion to the Commission of Inquiry.
*Instead, a sitting magistrate Lisiate Fotofili has been appointed by the JSC Chair, Chief Justice Salesi Temo, as acting FICAC Commissioner for the next three weeks.
*Will Fotofili allow his Ficac legal team to charge Biman Prasad?

*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. *He cannot take refuge behind his excuse that it has nothing to do with him, as FICAC is an independent entity and so is the JSC. *Prime Minister Rabuka should SACK his Attorney-General Graham Leung and the Solicitor-General Ropate Green for refusing to assist COI, with Leung declining not only to get involved but refusing to fork out $15,000.

*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.

*$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.  *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 $30,000. The COI has reported the matter to Fiji Police for further investigation.

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

Fijileaks: What our Editor-in-Chief wrote in the Fiji Sun (October 2008, below) regarding the Walter-Mitty interim Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum applies with equal force to his successor Graham Everett Leung in Februaury 2025.

*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."
