As Namaka market vendors in Nadi complain about Pigeons and Birds BOMBING crap and sh*t on them, the United Nations Women which made availabe funding under its M4C progamme should be informed how FFP donors and fundraisers are profiting from these UN funded projects, allgedly controlled by the party's chairman of fund-raising SANJAY KABA. HE stands accused of doling out contracts to FFP donors not only for the Namaka market but Nausori, Suva, Laqere, Ba, Sigatoka and Nadi markets. The state of the art Namaka market contract went to Tulsi Construction whose owner is not only building Aiyaz and Ela Khaiyum's Wailoaloa apartments and the Tubakula farm house but he broke Khaiyum's Donation Decree by donating twice in 2018, one of $10,000 under his real name, Shailendra Paliachi Kumar, and another of $5000 as Shalend Tulsi. The other two involved in the Namaka market were FFP donors Hemant Mehsuria of Maisuria Design Ltd Architects and Sanjay Kaba, HLK Jacob, Civil and Structural Engineers. As Grubsheet's GRAHAM DAVIS has revealed, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum and Sanjay Kaba, the two-men panel who interviewed prospective FijiFirst candidates for the election, rejected the candidacy of Brigadier General (ret’d) Ioane Naivalurua, the Secretary of the Military Council, spuriously claiming that Naivalurua had not sent a photo of himself with his application. The Brigadier-General's election application in 2018 was basically dismissed
as Namaka Market 'pigeon poop' and binned
AIYAZ KHAIYUM and SANJAY KABA RULED THE SELECTION ROOST
  SANJAY Kaba gave $10,000 to the FFParty on 13 April 2017. He donated under the name of Sanjay Lal, Kaba’s middle name. He is accused of deciding who gets all Government related building projects. Similarly, Kaba and Khaiyum felt Brigadier General (ret’d) Ioane Naivalurua (below) was NOT worthy to represent the FFP in Parliament. His application in 2018 was basically treated as 'pigeon poop' and binned. |  HEMANT Mehsuria donated $17,500 with his wife under Hemant and Veena Kumar to FFP in 2014 and 2017. We were able to identify him through his wife. Otherwise, he would have slipped through the net. He was the architect for Namaka Market. Mehsuria was allegedly FFP's Nadi based fundraiser   Hemant Kumar Mehsuria was architect of other State funded buildings    |

PIGEON POOP: CHAUDHRY says no laughing matter
"Frankly, to me the building looks more like a cross between an aviary and an aircraft hangar. Did the designers take into account the fact that a produce market would naturally attract birds because of all the food and waste lying around? How could the Nadi Town Council have approved the design and building plan. Did it consult experts on the designing of municipal markets? Apparently not. Construction industry sources say there are other design problems with the building. It uses far too much steel than is necessary. This would have naturally raised the cost of the building and added to the professional fees paid for the project." FLP Leader Mahendra Pal Chaudhry
"Several options are now being considered to stop the nesting of birds especially pigeons who have created a poop nuisance at the $5 million Namaka Market Complex in Nadi which was opened in February this year. Local Government Minister, Premila Kumar says it was built on an open concept so it allows birds to freely move around at the top and also nest. Kumar says they have tried to remedy the problem by providing steel netting and also consulting a company that provides sound-emitting devices that act as bird deterrents. She says both options are not working and she has seen it herself. Kumar says they were already dealing with the issue even before it was highlighted by Fiji Labour Party Leader Mahendra Chaudhry."
