PAC OF PIFFLE: Its utter nonsense for PAC chairman and FFP MP Sudhakar to accuse FIJI TIMES of sensationalizing Auditor-General's Reports; media have been reporting on Reports long before he was born!

AND unlike the 2014 general election, this time around the Indo-Fijian VOTERS are waiting for YOU, MR MORTEIN, to tell them of your true salary and to answer for the abuse you heaped on opponents; unfortunately, in 2014 the local media were too scared of the MEDIA DECREE to take you on, for threatening to gas your opponents, and reproducing Hitler's Nazi salutes, and pointing to KUTIA RD!

The Public Accounts Committee is deeply concerned by the recent media reports in the Fiji Times, that have sensationalized the review and recommendations contained in the Auditor General’s reports and preempted the objective assessment carried out by the Committee.

In a press conference last night, Public Accounts Committee Chairman Ashneel Sudhakar says that selective reporting on the Auditor General’s Report undermines the role of the Public Accounts Committee in determining the quality of government’s financial control by failing to consider the vital context that will emerge in the committee’s assessments.

Sudhakar says that Fiji Times reporting prior to this process is irresponsible and extremely detrimental to the effectiveness of the constitutional control that ensures transparency and accountability in government.

He says that the Auditor General’s report is an initial assessment of the government accounts and had outlined the work of the committee.

Sudhakar says he will be talking to the committee members on what steps the committee will take.

Fijivillage is trying to get comments from the Fiji Times Editor.

Fijileaks: The Fiji Times should not respond to this man; he should look at the previous posting on Fijileaks and the history of comments and responses on past Auditor-General Reports. He is yet to explain which of his two salary claims is correct

There are times when the conduct of some individuals becomes so contemptible that ONLY silence will suffice. Resignation in Fiji as a means to deliver full transparency can call in morbid or fatal threat. Plenty of examples abound from 1987 to present day. Take a good look at daily life in Venezuela. Try to recall the struggle to obtain specific drugs or treatments for chronic sickness in Fiji since 2009. No national dialysis program funded by Government for kidney disease? Or screening for cervical or prostate cancers? WHY? Mankind will be en route to colonise Mars by 2050.

It's not hard to see why Ashneel Sudhakar was installed as PAC chair after Professor Biman Prasad's unceremonies eviction from the position. So that he could make such feeble defence of the indefensible like the present one in which he castigates the Fiji Times and the media for " sensationalising " the Auditor-General's findings of abuse of public money in the operations of the government of the day.
As a lawyer he should know the Fiji Times and the media are only doing their job - their public duty to the people of Fiji.
Perhaps he would rather they didn't and the abuse was swept under the carpet ?
