NBF Debtor Ema Druavesi sings praise of party: "I support FijiFirst Party of Bainimarama"; both Druavesi and Dictator have short memory of what he told voters about the debtors: 'They ripped off their fellow Fijians'!

In February 2014, Bainimarama had warned voters against politicians and hangers-on responsible for the infamous National Bank of Fiji (NBF) scandal: “Now, some of those same politicians and hangers-on who were responsible for this scandal – and others who benefited personally – are seeking your vote in the forthcoming general election. They are relying on you having short memories. They are treating you as if you are stupid. I urge you to call their bluff and consign them to the political dustbin of history.  With their noses stuck firmly in the trough, this elite – aided by a grossly irresponsible management and board – raided the National Bank of Fiji for loans that many had no intention of repaying. They ripped off their fellow Fijians...The funds of ordinary Fijians were misappropriated. These elites effectively robbed their own countrymen and women – decent, hardworking ordinary people who had put their trust in the Bank and the Government.”
One of the NBF debtors has joined his political bandwagon: The former party secretary of the Soqosoqo ni Vakavulewa ni Taukei (SVT), Ema Druavesi, says she supports Bainimarama/Khaiyum's FjiFirst Party; Fiji's ambassador to Geneva and former High Court judge Nazhat Shameem, who had led an uphill fight as DDP Prosecutor to bring the debtors to justice, found the NBF scandal revealed fraud, corruption, and gross abuse of office, obtaining money by false pretences and obtaining credit by fraud; see Victor Lal: _http://www.coupfourandahalf.com/2010/05/fnpf-saga-and-ghost-of-collapsed.html

Another thing that voters need to remember - and remember well - is that before the NBF riff-off by the then well connected political class in Fiji came the military coup and the military government . It was under the watch of such unaccountable government that this national looting of public money took place.
Today we are again under a military government that has shown scant regard for accountability and transparency.
They can't be trusted to provide honest governance.

Jone Kubuabola as Reserve Bank Governor presided over this.

when I won the tender for a NBF house mortage sale - fair and square with the highest bid - the rogue bankers at NBF tried their level best to shut me out by putting all kinds of obstacles to block the transfer.
And even after all the legal paper work was finalized by my legal representative ( who was a former Chief Magistrate in Fiji) the bastards in the Bank refused to hand over the house keys!! I continued to live on rent for some three months AFTER the official transactions were completed.
When I had appealed to the bank official at NBF to show some flexibility in the very rigid requirements and time frame ( 3 days only) he had set for me for the processing of my tender acceptance he replied there was no way he could do that because "the Bank had very strict standard procedures".
So this is not only an issue of who has cleared his or her debt to the NBF and that that is the end of the matter; it is a question of what dubious means was used by unscrupulous people to circumvent the " very strict standard procedures" of the Bank. Who were these cheats and crooks in the Bank and in the community?
What is their standing in Fiji society today?

Madam Naaz must have drafted this Frank's press release.

This is the only thing she has to show to her name that she tried to be honest DPP.

Why did she not add in Frank's press release that NBF saga of how she was offered to take up judges position so she could than be able to give rulings as more powerful position than being the DPP.

She was gullible to take on the job.... but then who prosecuted Ema Druavesi and now trying to macho Frank is the best or vote FijiFirst Party when she ate away Fijian's money as much as Frank ate $185k in back pay given by Chaudhry.
