THE United Front for a Democratic Fiji says a false declaration by the regime leader’s proposed political party has legal consequences for every one of its initial 40,000 members. Last week, Rear Admiral Frank Bainimarama’s proposed Fiji First party submitted its registration papers, which included the name of one supporter, Bijai Prasad, who wrongly claimed to have no criminal record – an offence that can incur a fine and up to five years in prison or both. The political parties decree says if a party commits such an offence, every officer of the party is deemed to have committed the offence. The Front’s co-ordinator, Mick Beddoes, says the breach will be a test for the new Supervisor of Election who is tasked with enforcing the decree. “Because there was a false declaration, that offence applies to all of the applicants of Fiji First plus the 40,000 signatories. They have all committed an offence according to that decree.” Mick Beddoes says he believes the decree, which is one of many unreasonable decrees, was drafted with malicious intent.

of course that decree - the political parties registration decree - was designed with malicious intent. it was meant for other political parties - not Bainimarama's. the laws are not meant to apply to the Bainimarama gangsters, They are above the law . there is no need to labour that point. It's so obvious. it's been that way from the very beginning of their reign of power.

The PM and his AG who wrote the decree that they cannot be charged for breaking a law does not apply for their position in the Fiji THEFT Party.

Political party matters are PRIVATE matters providing NO protection. This crime they committed is in private capacity.

Media clearly announced that even he did not have his body guards with him when he launched the Blue Bus in the Park in Nasese, purporting he was not using tax payer time and his position in the Government as that is independent of the Proposed Fiji Thieves Party.

If hiding is okay then why charge Chaudary 2m for not declaring. Be fare; transparent was regimes focus, so be transparent...
