Meanwhile, the COC must have Non-Politicians as Members: Richard Naidu's resignation letter to the President, 15 November 2015:
CONFLICT OF INTEREST: As we argued lately, JON APTED should NOT have agreed to be Coupist Rabuka's nominee on the COC, for he is representing high-profile clients in court cases against the former FFP government
*We are increasingly wondering if pro-Coalition lawyers have captured Sitiveni Rabuka and with suspensions are indirectly threatening Sri Lankan judges to start ruling against FFP government decisions.
*Also, whether Qiliho's SUSPENSION is designed to ensure that he is not around after Aiyaz Khaiyum's police interview is completed, so charges could be laid against Khaiyum, and sanctioned by the DPP.
*Fiji is perilously lurching to new Animal Farm under Sitiveni Rabuka

From Fijileaks Archive, 15 November 2015
Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has confirmed that Leader of the Opposition Voreqe Bainimarama and his nominee, Tupou Draunidalo, stomped out of today’s Constitutional Offices Commission meeting.
He says the duo may not have agreed to some of the issues outlined in today’s agenda.
Rabuka says he is not concerned about Bainimarama and Draunidalo’s behaviour because that is their right.
“They didn’t say that they were walking out, they didn’t want to participate further in the discussions. It is a right that people exercise when they are in a meeting or commissions, they can exercise that.”
Rabuka has also confirmed the case against the Commissioner of Police, Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho, and Fiji Corrections Service Commissioner, Francis Kean, was discussed. Source: FBC News
