A Koronivia man who allegedly circled the number 279 on a pre-poll ballot paper of another Fijian voter has been released on bail with strict conditions. Ronal Kumar (pictured) appeared in the Suva Magistrates Court today before Magistrate Makereta Mua and was charged with breaching the Electoral Decree. He is the fifth person to be charged by FICAC with breaching the electoral act. Kumar faces one count of ‘Offences in Relation to Ballot Papers’ and two counts of Undue Influence. It is alleged that on September 3 when pre-poll started, Kumar who was then employed as a DHL driver is alleged to have marked the pre-poll ballot paper of one Satya Wati Ram. He is also alleged to have interfered with the free exercise of the political rights of Satya Wati Ram and of Jai Ram. Rosemary Drau, appearing for FICAC, served the first phase disclosures on Kumar. Kumar was released on bail with strict conditions to report to FICAC every Friday between 6am and 6pm, not to re-offend whilst on bail and he had two sureties to sign bail bond in the sum of $500 each. The matter is adjourned to 7 October 2014 for the second phase disclosures.  Read more at: http://fijilive.com/news/2014/09/court-bails-election-fraud-suspect/58925/

Andrew Goledzinowski should tell that to dictator Frank Bainimarama: The Aussie had a ring-side seat in dictator and tyrant Saddam Hussein's palace after The Fall of Baghdad

Our man in Baghdad
By Mark Baker

Sydney Morning Herald


No expense spared ... a giant oil painting of seven rockets blasting into the stratosphere dominates one of the rooms in the massive Republican Palace.

Andrew Goledzinowski sits at a desk in a cavernous ante-room decorated with marble panels, ornate hand-painted ceilings and silk curtains.

Mr Goledzinowski - Australia's top man in Baghdad - and his desk are the room's only contents.

Across an adjoining domed foyer, with a portrait of Saddam Hussein toiling improbably as a bricklayer's assistant, and down a hallway decked with crystal chandeliers, is a conference room with intricate marquetry tables that would dwarf the chambers of the United Nations Security Council.

Beyond another concourse, with Arabic tablets recording the thoughts of Chairman Saddam (sample: "Your conscience and your brain are your rulers, not your tongue or your desires"), is the ballroom where he once held court with visiting dignitaries.

The measure of the man in his vulgar castle is a giant oil painting of seven rockets blasting into a cobalt stratosphere.

Welcome to the Republican Palace, the administrative and ceremonial centre of Saddam's regime. Welcome to the headquarters of the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Affairs (ORHA), the interim coalition administration in Iraq. Welcome to the new digs of Andrew Goledzinowski.

But before Mr Goledzinowski's colleagues in the Foreign Affairs Department in Canberra consider pruning his travel allowance, they should take a closer look at conditions in the heavily guarded palace compound beside the Tigris River, dubbed "The Four Seasons" by its new occupants - a reference to the four overblown busts of Saddam that dominate the roofs.

On Sunday the head of the ORHA secretariat had his first shower in four days. He sleeps in a makeshift dormitory with bomb-shattered windows in a city swarming with mosquitoes and lashed by regular storms of desert dust. Lunch is hamburgers and hot dogs; dinner is MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat), the execrable American military field rations. Portable loos have replaced slit trenches as the convenience of necessity.

Like the rest of his colleagues, Mr Goledzinowski is forbidden by the military commanders in charge of security from leaving the palace without a flak jacket and helmet.

But he is maintaining a rough-shaven stiff upper lip.

"Hot showers are not a high priority. Standing up the Ministry of Justice is a high priority," says the career diplomat who was previously seconded to the office of the former UN Human Rights Commissioner, Mary Robinson.

As the ORHA's effective chief of staff, Mr Goledzinowski sits at the right hand of Jay Garner, the retired US Army general charged with rebuilding Iraq's battered infrastructure and steering the country towards democratic elections.

Mr Goledzinowski is the most senior of an initial group of seven Australian military personnel and public servants working with the ORHA in Baghdad. They include specialists from AusAid and the departments of Treasury, Energy and Foreign Affairs.

500 polling booths

How many booths did he travel to see first hand what it means to have a fair electoral and not fraudulent election?

If he has relied on the rest of the perople filling him in- then he could have stayed back home is Australia and observed the election also.

So what is he doing here?

this election observer is pre-determined . he has come with his mind made up. may be some vested interest has got to him . you know how it is with the rich and powerful. they have powerful reach and influence. with that mindset I don't think the bloke needs to do too much of observing or monitoring. why expand energy unnecessarily, right? just enjoy the island hospitality!

You dumb Andrew. Electoral fraud is in the entirety you fool.

No one except Bainimarama and Aiyaz have had a longer time frame to campaign without having moved out of office to have a care taker administration.

No equal suffrage is given to rest of the FijiFirst Party candidates most of whome were not even announced in a justifiable time ahead of the elections and not given a number to campaign in whole Fiji electorate.

So as a voter my rights has been taken away in that I will have to votew for Bainimarama as other FijiFirst Party candidates have not campaigned to us of what he stands for and what will he do if elected?

Now I want to vote FijiFirst but not Aiaz or Frank. Why was the candidates not given at least 3 months time to introduce themselves to whole Fiji since it is a single constituency?

Or even 6 months time given the fact that in a democracy elections fever begins when the parliament gets dissolved 6 months earlier.

In 8 years in office these two goons are wanting all votes to themselves by not putting other candidates interest as equal suffrage.

Then Frank will say see the entire country has voted for him and he has the highest number of votes them any other candidate so Frank will dictate his cabinet line up cheating away our equal suffrage by not making us familiar with our candidates let alone knowing who they are by a number.

So Andrew the dumb observor you are too blind to see the corrupt electoral process not just the voting ticks and extra ballot papers pre ticked and put into boxes by Aiaz's controlled process and other candidates ticked papers taken out to balance the numbers.

This is why the count will begin later and YOU will not be at 500 booths to go on to say the elections went well and purport free and fair.

Dear Mr. Andrews and Other Independent Observers,

Bula Vinaka! …and Welcome to our Beautiful Fiji!

Work hard this time and come back for a holiday later.

Look everywhere. Observe Everyone, All the time. Every Voter needs Scrutiny; there may be repeat voters, unregistered voters, retired voters, tired voters, absentee voters, foreign voters, non-Fiji-Chinese Voters… or worse even DEAD voters!

Look, Look everywhere, every ballot box, every corner, and every nook…. crawling with Crooks, everywhere …Ask all officials their names; check they are telling the truth; all uniforms specially check, recheck their badges, IDs …and Yes and check postal ballots, do that postal ballots...crawling with Crooks …with eight years of filth..

Beware…Be Awake and Alert all the time.

Crooks aplenty – in Suva specially…some in suave Suits…and Bula Shirts, Smiling, Sweet-talking Bull-Shitting Crooks… . Don’t be Deceived! Trust no -one -specially your security guards. Don’t drink their (politicians’) drink. Buy your own food. Pay for your own room. Be Independent. Be Neutral. Be Strong. Be Straight and Be Honest.

A“NO RULES elections, always Changing Rules Elections, UN-understandable Rules Elections, Tricky Rules Elections, and the Voters are LOST Elections, crawling with crooks…Spoilt, Shameless, Greedy …grasping and drooling Crooks. . Rob. Rob. Rob. Robbing us relentlessly, robbing us broke, for EIGHT long years.

But our Beautiful Fiji people NOW have a chance to Boot (Vote) them OUT – So you’ll see (and observe) that our BOOTING these CHORS OUT is done “fairly and freely”.

Don't accept as Gospel what some - any - big name official tells you. Look at the facts and make up your own mind.
