"First and foremost, I want to pay tribute to my wife, Mary, who has always been a pillar of strength to me and a wise and trusted counsellor. She never dreamt that she would wind up as a politician’s wife but she was a wonderful asset in the recent campaign, and reaching out to ordinary people who got to see us as I have always seen her. I want to thank her for the unwavering love and support, and for always being by my side. I also want to thank my six children and 14 grandchildren, who provided me with so much joy. They would have caused more joy on the way with number 15. As we all know, there is no substitute for a happy family life and I have been blessed beyond measure."
Bainimarama's maiden speech to parliament

THE declaration of assets and liabilities of the leader of the FijiFirst Party Voreqe Bainimarama,  showed that Bainimarama:

(1) had a total income of $278,750.

From that money, $230,000 is what he received as annual salary for being Prime Minister, $20,000 for entertainment allowance and other allowances $28,750.

The declaration also showed that Bainimarama had:

(2) three banks accounts in BSP; he had $51,207 in one account, $101,968 in his cheque account and $104,815 in a term deposit account.

He also had $26,042 in a Mataivalu Savings account and $14,443 with the Unit Trust.

His total liabilities were $301,772.88 and total net assets $51,704.60.

He has also declared a Hyundai Tuscon vehicle valued at $30,000 and a property in Nadi valued at $25,000.

1. Bainimarama had not declared what the loan of $246,380 was for from BSP Bank, when it was drawn, given the fact that there was no corresponding liability against that declared loan?

2. Then what was the declaration for the loan of $55392 remaining balance, given the fact that he showed substantial bank balance of $353,000 across 3 separate accounts?

3.  How did his asset tally up with his income salary and was the bank balance included for the back pay he received? If not then he should show his  bank statements with evidence of it being paid back.

4.   Where is his FNPF statement printouts for past 8 years as he had not declared his FNPF funds as his assets as super funds?

According to the PRPD, Bainimarama should have declared that his son was living with them on 70 Muanikau Rd, Suva, the old residence of the deposed Chief Justice Daniel Fatiaki which the Bainimarama family 'couped' up; Meli Bainimarama Junior gives his address as
70 Muanikau Rd, Suva:

"Any person who fails to comply with the requirements of subsections (1) or (2), or provides any information that is false, commits an offence and shall be liable upon conviction to a fine not exceeding $50,000 or to a term of imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or to both."

Vinaka Victor, Now that the business of boring maiden speeches are well and truly over - the Opposition Sodelpa /NFP can move on to ASK some real and probing questions - like all of MARY and Meli's assets to be declared. And let the lies of this CHOR, like Chaudhary be record in the Hansard.

Bainimarama is a CHOR through and through. Fiji's First CHOR PM.

Yes @ Question Time. It's time now for real debate, for asking meaningful and probing questions, and for informing the people transparently the grave inconsistencies that are impeding our moving forward toward prosperity. This government must not disappoint all citizens, even the "majority" who voted them into power.

That's such an easy question to answer. The reason why Bainimarama has not made public the wealth he has amassed since his ILLEGAL takeover is that he is a dishonest roguish thug. As the dictator he made laws which apply only to others. He has exempted himself from being subjected to the same laws and yet the scoundrel talks about a Fiji where everyone is equal. What a slime ball!!

Happy Diwali -Victor

Diwali has many meanings, amongst marking return of Lord Rama, to his birthplace, after a 14 year exile (banwas). It is also a time of enlightenment (from ignorance) – celebrated symbolically as lighting a candle takes away the darkness. It is an unashamed celebration of wealth and accumulation, of being blessed to be healthy, wealthy and RICH (wisdom is Saraswati’s department) and paying homage to the ‘goddess’ of wealth, Laximi. It is also a time of generosity and forgiveness.

Putting things in perspective, Victor bhai, your ‘banwas’( being in exile) just ‘takes the cake’.

It has been longer than Lord Rama, bro, spanning some three decades. It is making us Hindus really think.

Maybe in this time of festivity and merriment, the PM elect Right Honourable Bainimarama may show some generosity and bestow some forgiveness towards you. Victor, it may just be a matter of approach and request, a slight of hand or maybe a word from Modi – whatever bro.
But bhai, Happy Diwali! from your family and friends who want to see you – one day soon.

Human dignity and self-respect demands a man of integrity should never bow before a dictator or ingratiate himself to him for personal favours.
