Bainimarama warns voters against politicians and hangers-on responsible for the infamous National Bank of Fiji (NBF) scandal: “Now, some of those same politicians and hangers-on who were responsible for this scandal – and others who benefited personally – are seeking your vote in the forthcoming general election. They are relying on you having short memories. They are treating you as if you are stupid. I urge you to call their bluff and consign them to the political dustbin of history. With their noses stuck firmly in the trough, this elite – aided by a grossly irresponsible management and board – raided the National Bank of Fiji for loans that many had no intention of repaying. They ripped off their fellow Fijians...The funds of ordinary Fijians were misappropriated.

Wow! Two of the greatest icons of old Fijian journalism - Nemani Delaibatiki and Victor Lal (former master and pupil of the old Fiji Sun). I had never dreamed of seeing their names together - is it four decades ago! At least some old newspaper names bring back tears of what journalism was all about, and what it still should be - Fijileaks: 1, Fiji Sun: 0. Sorry, Fiji Sun!

All SVT and SDL politicians were involved in NBF scandal. Why don't you question Pita Waqavonovono's daddy - Mosese who was Makarava's deputy.

ME thinks that instead of abusing Victor Lal, the Frank Bainimarama regime should bring on board Victor to track down the defaulters who cause the NBF's collapse - after all, it was Victor who revealed their names in the pro-democracy blog C4/5. Long live investigative journalism, which my old buddy Nemani has sacrificed on his return to Fiji

Its a pity how esp in fiji many like to shoot the messenger. That includes those from the IGovt who take offence at unflattering issues coming to light and how it got out rather than dealing with it rectifying it. Look at the prisoner abuse farce. All this time, with video evidence and still no word on an outcome.
