The DOSSIER from Room 233 revealing the sex and drug fuelled text messages between Lynda Tabuya and Aseri Radrodro, and the frantic and begging Text Messages (the smoking guns admitting the bonking and asking for forgiveness) from Tabuya to Mrs Radrodro that we provided to PAP's Disciplinary Committee nailed Tabuya from the 'swinging chandelier'. |   |
*Since we provided the evidence in strict confidentiality, we have so far resisted revealing Lynda Tabuya's text messages where she admits that she bonked Radrodro in Room 233, and later lay prostrate at the Radrodro home wailing for forgiveness.
*We produce below a heavily redacted affidavit that we provided to PAP's Disciplinary Committee with evidence on which Lynda Tabuya was found guilty. WE REST OUR CASE.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, PAP’s Disciplinary
Committee, Re Ms Lynda Tabuya
I, VICTOR LAL of ____________Oxford, England, do hereby solemnly
declare that I am the Founding Editor-in-Chief of Fijileaks, an online news and
investigative journalism website on Fiji. I founded it in September 2012 to
circumvent the draconian media decree that was in place, and to publish leaked
materials that the Fiji media and its journalists and publishers were too
frightened to publish in Fiji.
* Despite over four decades in academia, I have remained rooted to journalism,
focusing on Fiji currently through the Fijileaks. I wrote opinion columns in the
1980s from Oxford in the old Fiji Sun and Fiji’s Daily Post, including in the
current Fiji Sun, notably under the editorship of the late Russell Hunter.
Unfortunately, the Fiji Sun, to appease Aiyaz Khaiyum, threw me out under the
new editor, the late Peter Lomas, who was once my contemporary on the old
Fiji Sun from 1980-1984.
* He had taken over the Fiji Sun in 2008 after Mr Hunter was abducted, tortured
and deported out of Fiji for publishing my exposure that Frank Bainimarama’s
then Interim Finance Minister and FLP leader Mahendra Chaudhry was hiding
two million dollars that he got from India into his Sydney bank account. Mr
Hunter died in Brisbane, Australia, still a prohibited immigrant to Fiji. After
years of denying, Mr Chaudhry was found guilty and convicted by the Fiji High
Court for foreign currency violations. Mr Hunter and me were awarded the
prestigious but now defunct Robert Keith-Reid Award for Outstanding
Journalism.
*The current text messages between Cabinet Minister Lynda Tabuya and her
former Cabinet ministerial colleague Aseri Radrodro that I obtained and
published in the Fijileaks are authentic, and I stand by them. As you might have
gathered, Fijileaks survives on leaks – whether from a source, sources, or third
parties close to the sources. I have no doubt about the credibility of my sources
and therefore I felt confident to expose the text messages between Ms Tabuya
and Mr Radrodro.
*I have nothing against Ms Tabuya, for over the years I have praised her but I
have also have condemned her for any indiscretions. As for the text messages,
on the night of 26 August 2023 while she was drinking with Mr Radrodro at the
QVS Old Boys Club.... (heavily redacted) that were subsequently leaked to me.
*I am sure the investigating disciplinary committee will agree, and fully
understand, that I am not in a position to reveal my source or sources except to
solemnly declare that the contents are authentic...
*To emphasise, there are current Coalition Ministers who were my impeccable sources
as we fought together to topple the 16-year old Bainimarama-Khaiyum
dictatorship. Some went on to abandon me in pursuit of their political careers
while others have remained my trusted sources.
*Hence, I feel duty bound not to reveal my source(s) on ‘Lynda-Aserigate’ but to
confirm to the investigating disciplinary committee that all the materials that I
have revealed on Fijileaks are authentic, and were extracted from...
They are NOT FAKE, as Ms Tabuya has been
claiming to the national and international media.
*I grant permission to PAP’s disciplinary committee to use the materials if it
helps in its investigation but to treat this letter in strict confidentiality. In other
words, I want it to be handled as classified material for the purpose of the PAP
inquiry only, and to be handled with the required confidentiality
*I might never be allowed into my beloved Fiji but I am sure when the day of judgment comes, I
will be at peace with the Maker. I have always strived to hold power to account,
whichever government has been in power since I began my journalism career in
1980.
*To quote the Reverend Martin Luther King Jnr:
‘Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how
improbable, must be the truth. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye. A lie gets halfway around the world
before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.’
*God Bless Fiji, and the PAP Investigating Disciplinary Committee.
Yours sincerely

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka clarified that removing Lynda Tabuya from her role as Minister for Women, Children, and Social Protection would result in double jeopardy.
This comment comes in response to questions regarding the lack of further government action after the party decided to remove Tabuya from her position as Deputy Party Leader.
When asked if he signed the letter that led to Tabuya’s removal from the party position, Rabuka explained the situation and the rationale behind not taking additional action.
“There were two charges brought before the People’s Alliance Management Committee, which were addressed there. The Management Committee and the People’s Executive Committee decided to penalize her for that misdemeanor or whatever the allegation was. If I had removed her from Cabinet, it would have constituted double jeopardy—a term that legal professionals understand to mean being punished twice for one offense,”
The Prime Minister also clarified he is unaware of any other allegations similar in nature to those investigated by the People’s Alliance.
He noted that he would only take action if a formal report is made to him

And then the neighbours and the Nakula Methodist Church church-goers recognised the Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection LYNDA TABUYA standing inside the Porch of the Radrodro home in Lami, Suva. She had been inside the house from 8am to 11am, allegedly confessing to brutally bonking the then Coalition Minister Aseri Radrodro in Room 233 in Hotel Windsor, while his wife was asleep about five rooms away on the same 2nd Floor.
