CROCODILES Closing In: 'Crocodiles' Named in COI Report Now Trying to Censure It. They are Pushing For Deeper Redactions To Whole Report after a COPY was allegedly leaked to them from the President's OFFICE

'Me kua ni Soti na Boto'
LET THE SUN SPEAK:
​*What is Hidden Will Be Exposed, and Justice Cannot Be Redacted
"There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs" - Luke 12:2-3:
*This the clearest condemnation of those who operate in secrecy - trying to suppress or edit the truth. The Justice Ashton-Lewis Report must be proclaimed, not whispered

Let The Sun In: Crocodiles Shouldn't Get to Edit the Report That Named Them

Silence by Scissors
*The so-called “Crocodiles”—named in the Justice Ashton-Lewis Commission of Inquiry (COI) Report—demand further redactions.
​*They must have no editorial control over a public interest report.
​*They must NOT be allowed to Gut the COI Report That Exposes Them

Justice Ashton-Lewis and Janet Mason Applied Redactions With Care-Crocodiles Now Want to Tear Rest Apart

Why the Crocodiles Cannot Be Allowed to Re-write the Record

1. It Undermines the Rule of Law
The Commission of Inquiry was conducted under legal authority. Its findings are the product of sworn evidence, documentary review, and due process. Allowing those named to edit or delay the report’s release:

• Subverts the entire process;
• Undermines the authority of the Commission;
• Send a chilling message that truth is negotiable if you have power.​​

2. It Rewards Corruption with Control
These individuals are not neutral stakeholders. They are the very subjects of investigation. To allow them any role in determining what is published is akin to:

• Letting suspects edit police statements;
• Letting defendants redact judicial verdicts;
• Letting history be written by its accused.

3. It Violates the Public’s Right to Know
This is not a private dispute. It is a public document, paid for by public funds, created in the public interest. Every delay and redaction is a violation of:

• Freedom of information;

*The principle of open justice;

• The constitutional right to transparency in governance.

A Dangerous Precedent
If these individuals succeed in diluting or delaying the report:

• Future commissions of inquiry will be undermined before they even begin;
• Powerful actors will be incentivized to intimidate or politically interfere with independent processes;
• The public trust in institutions will collapse, confirming what many already suspect: that justice in Fiji remains hostage to the very networks it is trying to expose.

What Must Happen Now
The full, already redacted main body of the Lewis Report, must be released immediately. The Crocodiles must have no say in what the people are allowed to know about them.​
​Truth Must Not Be Redacted for the Comfort of the Powerful
The people of Fiji are not children. They do not need to be shielded from the truth. They need to be shown that justice can still mean something in a system long manipulated by the very people now asking to edit their own exposure. If the Lewis Report is rewritten to suit its subjects, then the Commission itself was a lie—a performance for international donors and the public, while the real decisions are made behind closed doors.
This must not be allowed. Let the people see the truth.
Let the Crocodiles face the sunlight. Me kua ni Soti na Boto
