LABASA to host 146th Girmit Day from 10-12 May, and Savusavu, 11 May. Once again, Indo-Fijians in Coalition refuse to celebrate on 14 May, when Leonidas arrived in Fiji waters. 14 May will remind us of Rabuka's Coups

*Meanwhile, the prominent Labasian - NFP leader, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister BIMAN PRASAD - is still on the run from FICAC, courtesy of Barbara Malimali, for failing to declare his wife's link as a trustee of the Global Girmit Institute (GGI), and dishing out to the GGI $200,000 for the celebration of the 145th Girmit Day without any tender.
​*He was facing 10 charges on 5 September when Malimali stopped it.

Dear Ms Mataiciwa,

Re: Party Leader- Biman Prasad- False and Non Declaration under the Political Parties
Act 2014.

4. I note that Biman Prasad did not declare that his wife one Dr Rajni Chand is the trustee of the Global Girmit Institute and that it facilitated the funds of $200,000 given by the Coalition Government. The Not for Profit Organisation was re-registered in 2023, after it deregistered in February 2022 for failing to supply its financial statements as required under the laws of Fiji.

The period of re-registration falls within the required period upon which Biman Prasad is required to declare in his 2023 Financial Declaration (Attached is exhibit 3- Global Institute Deed of Trust and Registration Documents).

5. I note that Biman Prasad did not declare his connection to Ganesh Chand and Hirdesh Sharma whom are the registered Trustees of the Global Girmit Institute upon whom received $200,000 of Tax payers funds. This is a breach under section 24

(a) (b) (iii) of the Political Parties Act. I submit that no tender was called in relation to the event organisation.

​You must, therefore, refer the matter to FICAC under section 18 of the Political Parties Act.
