Fijileaks: We call on the Commander of the RFMF Ro Jone Kalouniwai to invoke S131 of the Constitution of Fiji and launch an immediate probe into the financial declarations of failed PAP candidate and the PSC Commissioner MERESEINI BALEILEVUKA, who interviewed and approved the appointment of SELINA KURULECA as new PS Education.
*Kuruleca must be prevented from entering the Education Ministry and the military must raid and confiscate Baleilevuka's asset and income declarations file from PAP office and the Fiji Elections Office.
*The acting Supervisor of Elections ANA SALAIVALU MATAICIWA must also be removed from her position, for she is now a 'Coalition government 'woodpecker SPY' in the FEO, reporting on those who have gone on our behalf to inspect the asset and income declarations.
*How can Kuruleca be appointed by one of the PSC Commissioners who stands accused of lying about her finances?
*Did the Coalition carry out a thorough check before she was appointed, for we had alerted them with evidence before her appointment?

Dishonest declaration by failed PAP candidate and Public Service Commissioner Mereseini Baleilevuka

*In December 2022 we were tipped off that one of the PAP election candidates MERESEINI BALEILEVUKA and her daughter had allegedly swindled $170,000 compensation payment from a Japanese family while Mereseini was employed by the Free Bird Institute in Fiji and Japan for more than ten years.

*When the nominations closed and the asset and income declarations were filed by all parties on behalf of their candidates, we suggested to the Free Bird Institute to go to the Fiji Elections Office and inspect Mereseini Baleilevuka's financial declarations.

*We may recall that following our revelations of the party donors, the Minister for Elections, Attorney-General and Minister for Everything else AIYAZ KHAIYUM had two weeks before the 2022 elections, quietly changed the rules, and the general public could no longer take photos or obtain copies of asset and income declarations. One could only inspect but take no documentary evidence.

*Our source duly obliged and visited the FEO and examined Mereseini Baleilevuka's asset and income declarations filed by the PAP general secretary.

*The SOURCE was shocked to discover that Mereseini Baleilevuka had only declared an annual income of $5000 as her private business.

*She did not declare her allowance income from Japan, her salary income from Fiji, money she had received as dividend. In other words, she allegedly didn't declare $80,000 to the then Superviser of Elections Mohammed Saneem.

*Mereseini Baleilevuka was terminated from Free Bird Institute at the end of June. She had been receiving her board allowances from both companies but Free Bird Institute company's accountant stated that she never asked the accountant to prepare her income and tax certificate.

*As has been a long established practice of Fijileaks, we requested Free Bird Institute to provide us evidence to back up their claims.
​
*In late December, I wrote to Sitiveni Rabuka, and copied the email with evidentiary documents to Biman Prasad, Pio Tikoduadua, Lenora Qereqeretabua, Bill Gavoka, and other senior Coalition government ministers.
*On 12 January, I once again wrote to MANOA KAMIKAMICA but none responded to me or opened an investigation into the claims. We were shocked to learn that Mereseini Baleilevuka had been appointed one of the FIVE PSC Commissioners.
*She interviewed and approved Selina Kuruleca as new PS Education.

"I have nothing against Mereseini, but we can't do what we have accused the old lot of engaging in for 16 years. All you do is check her assets declaration at the FEO, and possibly you have a copy at PAP. She claimed $5,000 income, but documents on me tell a very different story.
Our job has always been to hold power to account. 
You know for 16 years, I was one of the few lonely voices through Fijileaks who exposed and tried to hold the former crooks to account. Could you check her declaration with the two attachments - she lied about her income."​

Minister for Home Affairs Pio Tikoduadua with Police officers at the Namaka Police Station in Nadi on March 3, 2023.

14.  Altogether, FBI paid $50,000 to Unaisi with Mereseini`s instructions 29th August 2017. (CEO had approved the assignment, but did not know how much FBI had paid to Unaisi as Mereseini was given the right to take care of the company operations and handle matters. {Appendix 5}
15.  But it was unbelievably high for this simple case. (FBI found this out recently).
16.  The victim family (Grandmother Shigemi Naiki) couldn’t be in Fiji. (She is too old, she couldn’t speak English, Her Financial situation doesn’t allow) for the court case. Then FBI paid the lawyer fee instead of the victim.

19.  The case had started in Lautoka High Court (Civil Action No.246 of 2017)
20.  It took longer than FBI thought. But Mereseini always explained that it takes long, although she had stated it was a simple case, in the beginning.
21.  And Unaisi hardly shared what was going. She didn’t give us any written document except the engagement letter.

28.  After FBI terminated Mereseini, Unaisi was asked to hand over the case to new the lawyer due to conflict of interest.
29.  Unaisi denied and kept informing FBI & SPFB that there is a court hearing on 3rd September 2022 and even sometime in October 2022. {Appendix 9}
30.  But it was not true as there was no mention of this case on the court listing. FBI found out that 3rd September 2022 was a Saturday, where no cases are called. {Appendix 9}
31.  The compensation of FJD $170,000 was settled on 5th April, 2019 based on the email correspondence between Dominion Insurance (Capital Insurance) & Unaisi. {Appendix 9}
32.  Dominion Insurance shared document with POA Losalini`s sign for payment.
33.  Mereseini was on the position to supervise Unaisi & Losalini.
34.  Mereseini had to be consulted by the victim family.
35.  But this agreement of $170,000 was solely decided by Unaisi without any consultation to the victim`s family.
36.  This amount is unbelievably low for a grandmother who is looking after the physically disabled child in Japan for 5 years as the preliminary cost of the accident has been FJD$226,338{Appendix 3}
37.  The daughter (Ao Naiki) has no chance of recovering from her disability (Attached to the lower body) due to the accident. {Appendix 2}
38.  Till now, Unaisi hasn’t reported to the victim, SPFB or FBI that she had received the compensation.
39.  Unaisi has been trying to pretend the case was going on in 2022 when this was settled on 5th April, 2019. {Appendix 9}
40.  8th December 2022, HFC (where Unaisi has her trust account) has confirmed $170,000 was deposited on 12th April 2019. {HFC has shared document with Police on 12/12/22}

43.  FBI has reported this matter to the Namaka Police Station on 30th November 2022, again on 8th December 2022.

*As Fiji held its breath in April 1977, the newly elected NFP MP JAI RAM REDDY went on RADIO FIJI and cast doubt on the suitability and acceptability of a NFP government and Siddiq Koya as Prime Minister.
*In 1987, in an interview with an Indian journalist, Koya cited the religious card that, 'Jai Ram Reddy and his supporters, all NFP members, withheld support because they did not want a Muslim Prime Minister.’
*In 1985, our Founding Editor-in-Chief interviewed Reddy for his (Editor's) then book in progress, especially on the chapter 'The 1977 Constitutional Crisis'.
*Reddy unconvincingly defended his statement, claiming that his statement was misunderstood, and twisted by his NFP detractors.
​*In that Radio Fiji broadcast, Reddy had made four claims, see below:

JAI RAM REDDY TO RADIO FIJI:
*Several questions arise here. Firstly, would an NFP Government have the unquestionable loyalty of the civil service, the armed forces, the police, and so on? I am not  saying that it would not, but these are some of the considerations that one takes into account in deciding whether the Government would be viable or not.

* Would an NFP Government be acceptable to all the ethnic groups in Fiji? Anyone might say that the voters have given their verdict. There may be something there but several factors have worked in these elections and you have Butadroka’s statement that he would like to see an NFP victory simply to show to the Fijians that Fiji does not belong to them. I do not know to what extent this factor has contributed to the gain that the National Federation Party made but certainly this is something that one must bear in mind.

*If the NFP becomes the Government, you are going to have a situation where the Prime Minister would have seven nominees in the Senate and the combined strength of the Great Council of Chiefs’ members and the Leader of the Opposition’s members will be something like 14, and if they have made a mind to, they could frustrate legislation by delaying it and this is another practical consideration that one must take into account. 

*Does the National Federation Party have a person of the stature that he can truly claim to be the leader of the people of Fiji?’ He answered: ‘I do not believe we have one at the present time. - ‘a large majority’ continued to look to Ratu Mara for leadership'. 

Reddy's radio interview was music to the future racist coupist Sitiveni Rabuka, then studying in India at the Defence Staff College. After his treasonous coup in 1987 against the Bavadra coalition government, Rabuka disclosed that it was in 1977 after the NFP's razor-thin win in that election, that he had concluded that the 'Indians Will Never Rule Fiji'.

More analysis to follow. In 1980, Reddy rejected Ratu Mara's offer of a Government of National Unity and yet gave NFP's votes to Rabuka in 1994 for him (Rabuka) to become Prime Minister for the second time. Rabuka continued to oppress Indo-Fijians and other non i-Taukei minority groups through the racist and discriminatory 1990 Constitution. *Jai Ram Reddy, just like his successor BIMAN PRASAD, remained numb to the persecution of Indo-Fijians by then Rabuka regime from 1994 to 1999. 
*The two conspired to foist on Fiji the 1997 Constitution in 1998, with a provision for a mandatory multi-party Cabinet - basically, the chiefly sponsored SVT and the NFP.
*Reddy had NO RIGHT to prostrate before the chiefs and ask that Indo-Fijians be accepted in Fiji. Its our birthright to be Separate but EQUAL.

The NFP's 'Rotten Mango' Fairy Tale on the late JAI RAM REDDY:

"As finance minister in 2008, I confronted Fiji Water for shortchanging the government by declaring a lower value for exports to its parent company in the United States. I also proposed the water resource tax which was later adopted by the Bainimarama administration . I also declined a request for extension of its 13 year corporate tax exemption granted by Rabuka’s SVT government in 1995. As a result, Fiji Water was paying both the taxes. Is it a coincidence that the company should reclaim its tax exemption with the return of Mr Rabuka as Prime Minister? Unfortunately, Minister Prasad too appears to have fallen prey to the shenanigans of this company." FLP leader Chaudhry

CENSORED: Recently, we noticed that NFP had NOT reproduced Professor Wadan Narsey's opinion on the Fiji Water tax saga. We concluded, and as we informed Narsey, it was because of his stinging criticism of the concession to Fiji Water.
*Moreover, Prasad dared not to attack Narsey, once slated as Rabuka's Finance Minister-in-Waiting if the SVT-NFP Coalition had won the 1999 election that year.

Fijileaks: We stand by our exposes and will reveal more after 1 August 2023. The Solicitor-General's decision to Sitiveni Rabuka basically allows aspiring candidates of highly questionable characters and the PSC to dump a PS on a Minister and the Fijian public.
*As promised, we will also reveal the serious fraud charges made against one of the PSC Commissioners, a failed PAP election candidate, who interviewed and selected KURULECA.
*We will also reveal how NFP's Employment Minister AGNI DEO interfered by refusing to accept the PSC's choice of his new Employment Secretary because he had dumped a relative of Deo for another woman.

Solicitor-General Ropate Green Lomavatu.

TO RABUKA AND NOT RADRODRO: It is abundantly clear that both the Fiji Teachers Union and the Fijian Teachers Association had filed their objections with Sitiveni Rabuka and NOT to Education Minister Aseri Radrodro over the appointment of SELINA KURULECA as new PS Education by the Public Service Commission.
*Radrodro was merely copied into their objection letters to Rabuka.
*While Radrodro took on board the objections of the two largest teaching unions, will Rabuka defy the two teaching unions LETTERS?

MISSTEPS THAT COULD LEAD TO SELINA KURULECA's FALL FOR THE PS EDUCATION JOB *The Nata family are already planning to file POLICE complaint against her

Fijileaks Update: A spokesman for the Nata family has informed us that they are planning to report the accident to POLICE, for they allege that Selina Kuruleca was drunk when she collided with their Twin-Cab Ranger.
*We will bring to you the Fijian Teachers Union letter to Sitiveni Rabuka in which, like the Fiji Teachers Union, they spell out their objections:

Selina Kuruleca

Alison Burchell

Anjeela Jokhan

Muniappa Goundar, general secretary Fiji Teachers Union

The Fiji Teachers Union copied its objection letter to BIMAN PRASAD and Minister for Education ASERI RADRODRO

Mr GP, the domestic wife abuser

CV, Selina Kuruleca "Advised on the psychological effects of abusive behaviour"

LET US CALL HIM, GP: Sources close to Kuruleca claim to Fijileaks that GP and his wife were assigned to Kuruleca for marriage counselling after the violent husband GP had beaten his wife so badly that she nearly lost both her eyes.
​*As Kuruleca's CV claims, she is a specialist in Marriage Family Therapy. However, in 2016, the domestic abuse victim walked in and found her abusive husband GP and Kuruleca in a compromising position.
*The victim is currently undergoing mental treatment while Mr GP, according to Kuruleca's neighbours, is reportedly staying with Kuruleca.
*If the narrative is true, did Kuruleca breach the psychotherapist-patient code of ethics, and if found guilty, must be STRUCK OFF?
*Where is the Fiji Womens Rights Movement and other so-called gender equality and domestic violence campaigners who are in the forefront of championing Kuruleca's selection for PS Education?
​*We are yet to get a response from Kuruleca on GP and the $70,000.
*Coming Up: How PSC bumped her up on the top list of candidates for the PS Education position when the CEO of Fiji Consumer Council Seema Shandil had topped the list. 
*To make way for her after meddling from Sitiveni Rabuka and his cohorts, Shandil was moved sideways for consideration for the post of PS Employment, only for NFP Employment Minister AGNI DEO to reject Seema Shandil. 
*Section 131 must be read to these CONNIVING SCOUNDRELS, and it does not have to be Aunty's timid RFMF Commander KALOUNIWAI.
​His recent pronouncements have given Coalition the green light to run roughshod over the Constitution, and p*ss all over the Fijians.
The Minister for Education is constitutionally entitled to examine the interview reports for it directly affects and could impact his Ministry.

Fijileaks: Did the Public Service Commission carry out a due diligence on Kuruleca before processing her application for approval by the Commission and Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka?
*From the evidence so far, it is clear that the PSC did not carry out a thorough due diligence before approving her application to be new PS Education
*This has placed Rabuka in a very embarrassing position.
*Kuruleca should voluntarily resign to uphold the integrity of those enforcing her appointment.
*Normally, the PSC, after drawing up its shortlist of candidates for consideration by the Commission, would refer the short list to the Commissioner of Police for vetting purposes?
*We wonder if it was done, for there are claims from those close to Watisoni Nata Jnr that she is yet to fork out $70,000 for causing damage to his vehicle and that she was allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol.
*Selina Kuruleca's FULL CV coming soon.

*Ro Kepa has replaced AUNTY BANO, wanting to be new Queen MAKER.

​*However, if RFMF Commander Ro Jone Kalouniwai believes in upholding the 2013 Constitution of Fiji, he should have stepped in and prevented the formation of the three-legged wobbly scooter Coalition, for the pre-coalition deal OFFER by PAP, doglali accepted by NFP, to SODELPA to make Ro Kepa President of Fiji in 2024, is blatantly RACIST, discriminatory against commoner i-Taukei Fijians, other chiefs, and is in clear violation of secularism in the Constitution.
*No where in the Constitution it is specified that only Rotumans and the
i-Taukei traditional high chiefs must be President of Fiji.
*Yes, it was specified by Coupist Rabuka in the 1990 Constitution but that provision is absent in the 2013 Constitution of Fiji.
*Hence, any intervention by the RFMF will be justified on the grounds of upholding Constitutionalism and its actions cannot be branded as Coup.
*Ro Kepa waiting in the wings to become President of Fiji in 2024 is contrary to all she was preaching to the Bainimarama dictatorship, especially against the influence of Khaiyum's Aunty Bano in politics.
*The RFMF will be within S131 of the Constitution if it steps in and prevents Ro Kepa from becoming the President of Fiji.
*Her appointment based on a coalition deal is RACIST and violates EQUALITY of all races in the Constitution of Fiji.
*In any case, all indications are Sitiveni Rabuka will put Speaker and his paramount chief Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu in the Government House.

SPEAKING IN CIVILIAN TONGUE at the Rewa Provincial Council, with AUNTY KEPA at his side There will be no coup assures the Republic of Fiji Military Forces Commander Major General Ro Jone Kalouniwai. This follows speculations on social media including the circulation of a 50-page letter.

"Kai, LQ (Laisenia Qarase) did not help me at all to buy shares from FHL. I bought 100,000 shares from FHL in 1992 at $1, from my savings of $20k, and top up loan from NBF of $80k. Mr Mosese Waqavonovono, who was NBF manager Samabula Branch facilitated my loan. I was ADC to Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau then. No help from Qarase or anybody else to help me buy shares with FHL. Siti Weleilakeba was CEO FHL at the time. I gave him the $100,000 in his office before the $1 shares was closed."  Raivoce to Fijileaks Founding Editor

CONFESSION: The chairman of the Fijian Holdings Ltd and an influential mover and shaker in PAP, the flamboyant SAKIUSA RAIVOCE and I have been very, very, close friends and staunch opponents of the Bainimarama-Khaiyum dictatorship since the 5 December 2006 coup.

​* However, it has never stopped me from holding my good old friend to account, if and when I felt the need to confront him through Fijileaks.
*No holds barred.
​*He has always taken it on the chin without threatening retaliation through the legal system, unlike PAP's Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica, who some months ago warned me,
'Victor, I will sue you, if you publish it'.
*As a reputable news and investigative website, I had dared to ask Kamikamica if the allegations on the social media that his wife's trip to NZ (she was spotted with him) was on the taxpayers expense. He denied the social media reports but went on to threaten me with lawsuit.
*Of course, I politely reminded Kamikamica that while we fought the Bai-Kai dictatorship, he was no where to be seen for years.
*In any case, I reminded him that I had fought throughout the 1990s for his late father Joseva Kamikamica (RIP, again a very dear old friend) to become Prime Minister instead of the Coupist Sitiveni Rabuka.
*But I respected Manoa's decision to join PAP and to serve as one of three Deputy Prime Ministers under Sitiveni Rabuka.
*Meanwhile, for some years now, I have been inundated with claims against Raivoce regarding the FHL Class A shares. The claims are as follows:
*He (Raivoce) was one of the major beneficiaries of LQ’s (Laisenia Qarase's) Fijian Holdings Class A shares scheme which netted him $100,000 without having to pay anything upfront. (LQ himself acquired $200,000 for his Q10 family).
*LQ rewarded him because in 1992, R[aivoce] succeeded in sweet talking then President Rt Sir Penaia (R was his ADC at the time) to buy $180,000 class A shares for his Qeleni Holdings Ltd in order to dissuade Rt Mara from calling for an inquiry into the corrupt Class A scheme at the GCC.
*Rt Mara was determined to move a motion at the GCC in 1991/2 for such an investigation to be carried out (How come Class B shareholders like Lau and the other 14 provinces have to pay 1/3 upfront while some individuals in Lau like LQ, Raivoce, Sitiveni Weleilakeba, Isikeli Mataitoga, Tavola, etc were given the whole $200,000, $100,000 without having to pay anything up front.
*Just before Rt Mara was going to move his motion, he was given a list of Class A shareholders and right at the top of the list was his tavale's name, Rt Sir Penaia, so he (Ratu Mara) threw the list away and walked out of the GCC meeting.
*Victor, in 1991, an acquaintance of yours went to inquire at FDB to buy shares when David Toganivalu (now Acting DPP) was Desk Officer and he actually recommended it to him but when he consulted LQ by phone from his office, he was told to inform your friend that the sales of those shares had closed.
*Yet, two weeks later LQ approached Raivoce for Rt Penaia to buy $180,000 shares for his Qeleni Holdings.

SAKIUSA RAIVOCE RESPONDS TO THE ABOVE CLAIMS:
"Kai, This is not true. I cannot influence my Chiefs to buy shares from FHL. Lau Province is the only Province out of the 14 x Provinces in Fiji that does not have any shares in FHL (2022 FHL Annual Report refers). LQ (Laisenia Qarase) did not help me at all to buy shares from FHL. I bought 100,000  shares from FHL in 1992 at $1, from my savings of $20k, and top up loan from NBFof  $80k. Mr Mosese Waqavonovono, who was NBF manager Samabula Branch facilitated my loan. I was ADC to Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau then. No help from Qarase or anybody else to help me buy shares with FHL. Siti Weleilakeba was CEO FHL at the time. I gave him the $100,000 in his office before the $1 shares was closed."

LAU PROVINCIAL COUNCIL HAS NO SHARES IN THE FHL, 2022 Report

"Laisenia  Qarase, you have been convicted of 6 Counts of "Abuse of Office" for gain punishable under section 111 of the Penal Code Cap 17 and of 3 Counts of "Discharge of Duty with Respect to Property in which he has a Private Interest" punishable in terms of section 109 of the Penal Code. The facts are that the FHL was established as a limited liability company to be the investment vehicle of the indigenous people in Fiji and to accelerate and broaden their participation in commerce and industries. You were the Financial Advisor of the Fijian Affairs Board (FAB) and Great Council of Chiefs (GCC). You were appointed to Directorship of the Fijian Holdings Limited (FHL) board to represent Class B shares of FHL by the Minister of Fijian Affairs. Fijian Affairs Board being a government entity held Class B shares of FHL. On behalf of the companies Q-Ten Investments Ltd, (Q-Ten), Cicia Plantations Co-operation Society Ltd. (CPCS), and Mavana Investments Ltd. (Mavana), you applied for allotment of Class A shares of FHL. You also facilitated the approval of the issuance and allotment of Class A shares to the three companies Q-Ten, CPCS and Mavana. It was done in priority to other eligible Provincial and Tikina Councils, FAB and indigenous Fijian people. In doing so, you failed to disclose your interest and the relationship with the 3 companies to FHL, FAB or GCC. Your acts were prejudicial to the rights of Provincial and Tikina Councils, FAB and all other indigenous Fijian people. You also attended and participated at the board meetings of FHL at which the board decided on payment of dividends to those 3 companies in which you have private interest. On Counts No. 1 – 6 "Abuse of Office" you are convicted of a felony on each count. When imposing the sentence I also take into account the absence of remorse or repentance by you. This is a case which warrants an immediate custodial sentence as mentioned before. Therefore your final sentence is 12 months imprisonment."
