NAISOSOGATE AND THREATS TO Fijileaks Publisher and Founding Editor-in-Chief regarding 'Operation Ark' land sales

BOB LOWRES:
 'Dear Sir, I do not wish to engage in any correspondence with you. If you ever have the spinal fortitude to come to Fiji then I will be happy to speak with you face to face about all the slanderous allegations that you have made against me whilst hiding like a coward overseas.'. Fijileaks to Lowres, cc to Aiyaz Khaiyum: 'Dear Bob. Thanks. You mean to say the affidavit from the New Zealand Police is pack of lies regarding the plots of land that was bought by those criminal drug lords. Again, here [are] the DDP materials, and we have on us far more damaging materials than what we have published so far, not to mention police complains that have been filed against you at the Nadi police station by others in Fiji. We are planning to reveal more shenanigans at Naisoso and we are still waiting for your comments regarding the sale of plots to Nur Bano and those criminal drug lords. And we understand you are yet to settle a payment of over $3 million you allegedly owe to a former employee despite making promises to pay up...'. Bob Lowres is former chairman of Investment Fiji Ltd and owner of Relcorp (Fiji) Ltd. So far, he has declined to make any comments to Fijileaks regarding the alleged under-selling of a plot of land to Nur Bano Ali's Brick Investment Ltd; Aliz Pacific handles Relcorp (Fiji) Ltd and Lowres' business empire in Fiji. We will reveal the lengthy affidavit NZ Police sent to DPP's office in Fiji in a bid to confiscate two plots of lands convicted New Zealand drug lords had bought on Naisoso. Also, we will reveal from affidavits and statements how a former Naisoso employee was falsely accused of general dishonesty causing a loss to Lowres and how someone inside the Nadi Police Station had altered this individual's bail attendance police record while this particular individual was waiting to hear from DPP for nolle prosequi. The hand written note in bail register falsely claimed 'signee out of country for past two weeks - investigate who has been signing'. In the end, DPP quietly withdrew the case filed by Lowres against the former employee, who was still in Fiji all the time

THE LAW BREAKERS: They ignored the FIRE ALARM to hide from Bailiff

AFTER two days, FFP MPs, along with their blundering leader Aiyaz Khaiyum, were forced out of their hiding on the 9th floor of A-G Chambers, when they learnt that the two Judges had outfoxed them by authorizing the Petitioners, Sitiveni Rabuka and Biman Prasad, to publish the hiding FFP MPs names (the Respondents) in local newspapers minus the Affidavit that the BAILIFF was trying to serve on them. We publish below the FULL Affidavit. Surely, if Aiyaz Khaiyum, as Attorney-General and Justice Minister, had a scintilla of respect for the LAW, he could have invited the BAILIFF to come into the so-called 'meeting', serve them the affidavits and quietly slip out of the Attorney-General's Chambers on the 9th Floor. Instead, he made the poor man sit outside his office, while counting the clock ticking away, hoping to render the affidavits invalid. He should be charged with perverting the course of justice. The photos released of the meeting are from the first day and everything else was hurriedly improvised to support his claim that he was conducting 'strategic meeting' for 48 hours. Why Khaiyum never conducted such meetings during cyclones and floods in Fiji? Some FFP MPs claimed to Fijileaks that they were held against their wills, had to share twelve mattresses and improvised pillows with snoring, smelly, grumpy, frightened, and  grog-doped colleagues. Some averse to homosexuality and lesbianism, claim they tried to stay awake, fearful of being sexually violated during the 48 hour ordeal. Some of their relatives thought the FFP MPs had locked themselves inside Khaiyum's chambers from impending COUP. They were forced to rush toiletries, knickers,  and mens underpants to their beloved ones, and were relived when the two Judges, Kamal Kumar and Anjala Wati, outfoxed Khaiyum. Again, what was Supervisor of Elections doing at  'Hideaway House'?

'All votes for Voreqe Bainimarama (Candidate 688) be declared invalid; alternatively, that the results at the said polling stations be declared invalid and that the Supervisor be ordered to conduct repeat polling.' - AFFIDAVIT

The affidavit accuses VOREQE BAINIMARAMA of 'Illegal practices - breach of s.112(3) and s.113(2) of the Electoral Act 2014 - Rotuma'; FAIYAZ KOYA of 'Corrupt practices or illegal practices: Bribery in breach of s.140(2) of the Electoral Act 2014; alternatively, vote-buying in breach of s.114 of the Electoral Act 2014 - Labasa, 29 October 2018, Corrupt practices or illegal practices: Bribery in breach of s.140(2) of the Electoral Act 2014; alternatively, vote-buying in breach of s.114 of the Electoral Act 2014 -Valelevu, Nasinu'; JOSEPH NITYA NAND of 'Illegal practice - Campaigning during the poll, in breach of s.146(1)(b) and s.63(1)(c)/s.63 (2)(c) of the Electoral Act'; MOHAMMED SANEEM for 'Breach of duty as the Supervisor of Elections  - denial of voting rights for persons claiming right to vote', Breach of s.14 of the Electoral Act - failing to inform/misrepresenting to party polling agent the time for resumption of verification of postal ballots pursuant to s.79 of the Electoral Act 2014; and that NFP is entitled to one more seat and not FFP

Illegal practices by First Respondent (Voreqe Bainimarama) - breach of s.112(3) and s.113(2) of the Electoral Act 2014 - Rotuma

5. Voreqe Bainimarama, being a candidate for election in the General Election, was guilty of an illegal practice in that on or about 29 October 2018, in Rotuma, with his knowledge and consent a Government employee (specifically his driver, one Kepani, a public officer) conducted campaign activities, namely distributing campaign materials for the Fiji First Party (specifically t-shirts and sulus bearing the logo of the Fiji First Party) in the areas of Ahau, Motusa, the Rotuma Airport and Pepjei, in breach of s.113(2) of the Electoral Act 2014.

6. Voreqe Bainimarama, being a candidate for election in the General Election, personally or by his agents, was guilty of an illegal practice in that on or about 29 October 2018, in Rotuma, with his knowledge and consent, three Fiji First Party banners were affixed to fences and buildings at Rotuma Airport, a public building, in breach of s.112(3) of the Electoral Act 2014.

7. Voreqe Bainimarama and other FFP candidates received a total of 362 votes from polling stations in Rotuma, of which 320 votes were for Voreqe Bainimarama.

8. The votes referred to in paragraph 7, combined with votes unlawfully, illegally or corruptly obtained by FFP as a result of the other matters complained of in this Petition, are material in number to the result of the General Election such that, if they were not counted towards FFP's total in the General Election, or which, if they were directed to other candidates without the unlawful promotion occasioned by the above breaches, would be likely to affect the result of the General Election.

'FFP candidate Faiyaz Koya (No 585), at that time the Minister for Industry and Trade, was guilty of a corrupt practice of bribery in awarding 1,937 "micro and small business grants" (MSBGs), each in the sum of one thousand dollars (or approximately one thousand dollars), at Subrail Park, Labasa, on 29 October 2018, in order to influence the votes of recipients and their dependents, or to gain their support for the Fiji First Party, in breach of s.140(2). The distribution of grants was timed to be close to the polling dates and pre-polling dates in order to influence voters. It was not necessary for Mr Koya (or any FFP Government Minister) to personally award the MSBGs.' - Affidavit

"We can all have a good laugh at that [hiding] but it is a serious matter. We feel that the government and the Attorney General, the government led by him as Acting Prime Minister right now, have shown utter contempt for the people of Fiji. Because they deliberately ensured that we are not able to serve the petition on them." - Biman Prasad

TICK-TOCKING at University of Fiji: The Council's controversial Clock-IN Clock OUT edict nothing sort of bullying academic staff into submission

6/12/2018

Another issue of contention is the allowance paid to a senior academic as 'Acting' Vice Chancellor by UniFiji chairperson Anil Tikaram when that academic was on LEAVE and not 'acting'. This issue is being investigated by FICAC

THE CLOCK MASTER: Anil Tikaram. The staff claim the problem with the University is bad governance. If true, remember the age old saying: A clock only turns one direction

BURCHELL - POWER PLAYER?

The Permanent Secretary of Education, Alison Burchell, is a voting member of this Council as well as the Councils of the other two universities of Fiji. Union members have claimed that the position of the Permanent Secretary, who is a white South African expatriate, causes difficulties for the university since government grants to the university are approved by her, but at the same time she is a voting member of the university council. They say she is patronizing in Council meetings and treats locals with contempt and disrespect. Recently the 2018 government grants were withheld by the Ministry of Education on advise of the PS because she was not satisfied with the audit reports tendered by the Council over a 3-year period, even though she is a voting member of the same University of Fiji Council. 

Fijileaks: On 6 January 2016, before Burchell took up her appointment with the Fijian government, she sought advice from us. We had advised her to avoid being sucked into Fijian power politics. We are very surprised concerning the allegations made against her
by our sources inside the University of Fiji. 

Burchell to
Fijileaks Founding Editor-in-Chief, 6 January 2016:
​
"I am surprised that you know about my appointment as I was not aware that it has been announced.  But then, given your background I should not be surprised!!!!  So has it been announced? Thank you for your email - I appreciate it greatly.  I am aiming to "report for duty" on 1 February 2016 although I will get to Suva late on 25 January to start the process of finding somewhere to live.  Any advice on this? Given your background, I would also appreciate hearing your thoughts on what needs to be done in Fiji and what you think I can do to contribute.  Obviously I am coming into a new environment and need to find a fast track to understand the dynamics of the country.  It is a great opportunity for me and one where I hope I can contribute positively using my experience of life in South Africa, other parts of Africa and the relatively advanced Europe although challenges with disillusionment of the youth seems to be increasing world-wide. Best wishes and thanks again - Alison"

The University is owned by the Arya Samaj of Fiji which has the power to remove the Council if it flouts the law or university policies. The University is managed by the University of Fiji Act which sets out the powers of the Council and other aspects of the University organisation

CLOCK-IN, CLOCK OUT: ​It seems the University of Fiji administration cannot keep away from causing misery to its employees, thus causing problems for itself.

ACADEMICS refusing to clock in and clock out are threatened they will be marched out of the UniFiji GATE - TERMINATED

Picture
The latest saga which has been going on for a few months is the attempt by the Chairperson of the University Council Anil Tikaram, who as a lawyer should know better, is to impose a Clock In Clock Out regime on academic staff which is the first of its kind for any university academic cadre, let alone in Fiji.

Neither USP nor FNU impose this type of attendance monitoring on academics but University of Fiji has forced its employees to do so on point of disciplinary action, such as termination of employment.

The senior academics, mainly Professors, have all protested against this directive and have asked the Staff Union to resolve their dispute on the Clock In but Tikaram has ignored the dispute resolution mechanisms under the Employment Act of Fiji by threatening staff and instigating the University Council  to take action on them.

Eminent professors of the university include Professors Tupeni Baba, Subramani, Anirudh Singh, Ruvendra Nandan, Shaista Shameem and Fred Merchant. All are being allegedly targeted by Tikaram for standing up to the breaches of their contracts of employment.

The Union last week obtained a stay on any further discipilinary action against Union members who refuse to clock in and clock out on the basis that this provision is not contained in their contracts of employment.

The Union states that Tikaram is now in contempt of the Tribunal's orders obtained last week and has instructed its lawyers, Vuataki Law to take further action.

The University is owned by the Arya Samaj of Fiji which has the power to remove the Council if it flouts the law or university policies. The University is managed by the University of Fiji Act which sets out the powers of the Council and other aspects of the University organisation. 

The Permanent Secretary of Education is a voting member of this Council as well as the councils of the other two universities of Fiji. Union members have said that the position of the Permanent Secretary, Alison Burcell, who is a white South African expatriate, causes difficulties for the university since government grants to the university are approved by her, but at the same time she is a voting member of the university council.

​They say she is patronizing in Council meetings and treats locals with contempt and disrespect. Senior academics have asked for a meeting with the new Minister of Education Rosy Akbar about matters at the University including the issues with the PS and are awaiting advice from her office for an appointment.

Recently the 2018 government grants were withheld by the Ministry of Education on advise of the PS because she was not satisfied with the audit reports tendered by the Council over a 3-year period, even though she is a voting member of the same Council. 

Staff say the the Permanent Secretary's position on the Council and also in meetings allocating or withholding grants to the university is a power play and not in line with the transparency needed for government decisions in higher education delivery and funding.

​Most of the revenue of the university comes from student fees and only a small amount comes from the government but this is being used as a political football as the university is a private organisation. 

The problem with the University is constant bad governance, say the staff.

Another issue of contention is the allowance paid to a senior academic as 'acting' Vice Chancellor by Anil Tikaram when that academic was on leave and not 'acting'. This issue is being investigated by FICAC.
