Departing Kean Set High Standard: Law Fugitive  Parveen Kumar Bala

Francis Kean has set a high standard of service delivery for the management and staff to follow, says Minister for Local Government, Housing, Environment, Infrastructure and Transport Parveen Kumar.

Minister Kumar and staff of the ministry farewelled the Permanent Secretary for Infrastructure and Transport last Friday at the Mechanical Workshop in Walu Bay, Suva. “This is the challenge and legacy that you leave with your colleagues,” he said.

Mr Kumar said Mr Kean had stood tall among many giants and professionals and had outshone them. He added this ray of light that he had nurtured in his colleagues would be a beacon for their career pathways. The Minister said being the billion-dollar ministry in Government his responsibilities were not easy.

“With your never say die attitude, we have seen you run and successfully completed this journey,” Mr Kumar said.

As the outgoing Permanent Secretary’s Minister he said he was proud of the achievements made; and together they could walk tall with dignity among those who had once ridiculed them.
“In fact, they now realise our importance.”

He called upon all staff of the ministry and commercial statutory authorities to uphold the teachings of their friend and colleague who they had farewelled. “Let’s be consistent and further excel the ministry’s service delivery.”

Mr Kean thanked the kind words by Minister Kumar and the staff for their support during his term with the ministry. He concluded by presenting a ministry cheque of $726,706.72 which was handed over back to Government as remittances from Department of Work’s Trade and Manufacturing Account (TMA). Source: Fiji Sun

GOOD RIDDANCE, Kean's staff whisper to Fijileaks:
They lived in fear he could KILL them if they protested!

"On Saturday the 30th of December, 2006 Mr. Samuel Whippy married Ms. Ateca Bainimarama at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Suva. The wedding reception was held at the Royal Suva Yacht Club. John Whippy a relative of the groom attended the reception. Francis Bulewa Kean, Commander of the Fiji Naval Forces and uncle to the bride joined the celebration. During the course of the evening several fights broke out between guests. The deceased was involved in some of those fights. He was drunk. At about 2.00am John Whippy left the Yacht Club with Peter and Samuel Whippy. They talked. The groom bade them farewell. Peter went to get a taxi to take both him and John home. When the taxi pulled up Peter sat in the back seat and he told John Whippy to get into the car. As John Whippy was assisted to the taxi he was in an ugly drunken mood. I accept he used vulgar language that provoked Mr. Kean into firmly telling him to mind his language and go home. In his drunkenness the deceased ignored this direction and kept up his belligerent tirade.  Francis Kean  then left the Suva Yacht Club and ran towards Mr. John Whippy yelling in Fijian, "Stop that taxi." The accused then came up to John Whippy and punched him three times in the face. John Whippy first hit his head against the taxi light then fell heavily to the ground on his back. While he was lying on the ground  Francis Kean  kicked him on the chest. The accused was dragged away by an unidentified woman but returned to kick John Whippy’s head. Asaeli Duvusole intervened and grabbed the accused warning him to do no more harm. John Whippy lay unmoving by the side of the taxi. A Corporal of the Fiji Military Forces checked his pulse he could find none. John Whippy was lifted into the taxi and quickly taken to the Colonial War Memorial Hospital. Doctor Ashika Lata Sen saw John at 1.46am. He did not have either a pulse or cardiac rhythm and he was not breathing. Despite her best efforts to resuscitate him John Whippy did not revive. He was pronounced dead at 2.20am on 31st December 2006. Mr. Kean, John Whippy’s life was precious and its value should not be underestimated. There must be exceptional circumstances before the court can suspend a term of imprisonment. I have searched for those circumstances in your case but can find none. An immediate prison sentence must be imposed. You are sentenced to
eighteen (18) months in jail."

Merit as defined by Bainimarama- Khaiyum chamcha Ashneel Sudhakar. That is if you are a mate, a crony, or a relative of the twin dictators of Fiji then you have the " merit " for cushy appointments.

Editor,
Just heard on ABC news 15/02 that shadow attorney general Mark Dreyfus has referred Stuart Robert's China trip to the Australian Federal Police , asking them to investigate into whether the dumped minister intended to benefit from the visit.
" it is clear Mr Robert sought to benefit Mr Marks, a significant Liberal donor,but the revelation that Mr Robert himself stood to gain financially through his share holdings in a company related to Nimrod ( Mark's mining company ) is even more serious" Dreyfus wrote in his letter to AFP commissioner Andrew Colvin.
In a television interview a short while ago Dreyfus said their action designed to ensure the highest standards for commonwealth ministers.
That clearly should be the case.
Parochial party interest often subverts the maintenance of such ministerial standards.
Fijileaks followers would be familiar with that in the Fiji context.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu
