PictureHIDING HER FACE but now all over the Facebook
The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) had charged her with (2) counts of Bribery in 2017 for having offered $500 – $800 FJD to Technical Officers from the Ministry of Employment, Productivity, and Industrial Relations on two (2) separate occasions.

The Celcius Fire Protection and Pest Control owner had initially denied these charges but admitted to them before her trial was to begin in October.

In reading out the sentence Resident Magistrate Mr. Asanga Bodaragama said that Ms. Mala had attempted to abuse the good relationship she had with the public officers and use it to her advantage
by offering bribes.

Furthermore, he said that the court is entrusted with the duty of upholding the public confidence in the system of administration of justice and that bribery is a serious crime and should not be treated leniently as it affects the entire public service.

He added that the general public and law-abiding honest public servants would lose faith and confidence in the justice system if deterrent and adequate punishments were not imposed on the Accused to denounce her conduct.
​

He said that this sentence should be a clear message to any would-be offenders who dare to offer advantages to hardworking and honest public servants in order to influence them. He ordered that of the sentence, five (5) months would be served in prison and the remaining seven (7) months to be suspended for two (2) years.
​
Ms Mala was also fined $500 FJD to be paid in one (1) month or she would incur a further 50 days in prison.
