Fijileaks: The betrayal of Abel Camillo, his PAP Nadi branch president, is a salutary warning to BIMAN PRASAD that if Rabuka wins handsomely (we doubt he will win the election), he will renege on whatever promise he has made to the 'Ponga Professor' in the coalition pact
ABEL CAMILLO tendered his RESIGNATION to PAP leader Sitiveni Rabuka on 2 May. It was accepted by Rabuka and party general secretary Sakiasi Ditoka. Camillo resigned, both as branch president and as a party member. Several of his family, friends and followers, have also resigned in disgust at the PAAP committed against him.
*Meanwhile, an Indo-Fijian candidate, SAJAL NARAYAN, the Vice-President of PAP's Youth Wing, refused to answer questions about his driving and other conviction charges in the US.
* TIK TOKKER Lynda Tabuya allegedly threatened to resign recently but DUNA Rabuka promised to make her Prime Minister a year or more into government if he became Prime Minister in coalition with his political wife, Biman Prasad, the leader of the National Federation Party.
*Meanwhile, it is alleged that Five Candidates who didn't meet the criteria were given preference by the PAP Selection team over sitting branch president Abel Camillo who worked very hard to set up the branch in the West and was a representative of the late Na Momolevu Na Tui Nawaka
PAP'S TEAM SELECTING ELECTION CANDIDATES:
*Lanoma Singh, *Keni Dakuidreketi and *Manoa Kamikamica,
the SODELPA defector to PAP
 |  |  |
We wonder if Sajal Narayan disclosed his convictions, but Dakuidreketi, who served five out of the six-year sentence for abuse of office, thought it was not essential to consider and issued a PAP ticket? |  |
In April 2018, the Supreme Court refused Dakuidreketi's application for leave to appeal the sentence and conviction. The Supreme Court upheld his sentence with a non-parole period of five years, passed by the High Court in 2014. His supporters had claimed that the charges, stemming between 2004 and 2005, were politically motivated against Dakuidreketi.

STRIP DUAL CITIZENSHIP: Fijileaks - It is time those overseas who are convicted of even minor offences are STRIPPED of Dual CITIZENSHIP. Too many former rogue citizens had flooded Fiji since 2009 when the FijiFirst government allowed dual citizenship.
*PAP Selection TEAM fast drive-through Narayan's application without properly checking his past records in the United States. Even if one excuses his drinking driving charge, his failure to comply with odometer disclosure is severe.
* He ran a car dealership and was accused of not maintaining odometer statements. The function of the odometer is to provide information about the distance travelled by car. By knowing the distance travelled, you can see the intensity of the work of a vehicle. Checking the odometer is very important because it can be a reference when trying to buy a used car.
* One may ask, so what? It matters when one is aspiring to run for public office and might even become Rabuka-Prasad Couple's 'Minister for Transport and Road Works'.
* In 2012, there was an odometer disclosure penalty and failure against Sajal Narayan to release vehicle title to the buyer. Both Class 1 Misdemeanors
* In 2016, a bench warrant was issued on a contempt charge.
* In 2017, he was arrested for trespassing
* In 2019, he was pulled over for suspected drink-driving. The prosecution dropped refusal to take the breathalyser test and reckless driving charges. However, the Amherst & Campbell District Court in Virginia found him guilty of driving while drunk and failing to report an accident. The court also placed him on a restricted driver's licence
MYSTERY: What is Sajal Narayan doing in Fiji, a man who only three years ago was boasting in the Fiji Sun (25 February 2019) about how the family went from rag to riches in the United States? "The family went to USA with $10, 000. Now they have motels, gas stations and a trucking company. Mr Narayan built his own automobile dealership." And, is now aspiring to enter Fiji's Parliament under PAP? But, then, we shouldn't be surprised, for his own leader and COUPIST Sitiveni Rabuka is hiding behind the IMMUNITY he gave himself in 1988 for the two coups and the rape, murder, torture, beatings and disenfranchisement of Indo-Fijians and Other non-i-Taukei Fijians. And two prominent lawyers, Filimoni Vosarogo and Lynda Tabuya have no PROBLEM with Rabuka's past while berating and reminding us of the rule of law, human rights, and clean government.
Nothing comes easy, says Sajal Narayan.
The 32-year-old of Nasorowaqa in Bua, who now lives in the United States of America said starting a living there was “very tough”.
He is now the President for District 6 Western Virginia Best Bet Motor Sales Corp and State Vice President for Virginia Independent Automobile Dealer’s Association (VIADA).
His parents won the Green Card lottery 19 years ago when he was just a 12-year-old kid.
“We went to America with my parents saving of only $10, 000,” he said.
“My Dad worked really hard doing handyman work, odds time jobs and he saved up.”
Mr Narayan said by 2002 his dad saved up to $40,000 to start his business.
He added that his dad bought a motel to start with and their business grew over time.
“We kept saving up and bought another motel and two gas stations with convenience stores,” he said.
The two motels have a total of 58 rooms.
After graduating in 2008, Mr Narayan said he wanted to start his own business and because of his love for cars, he started his car dealership business with an investment of $200,000 given to him by his father.
Today, the family also owns a trucking company with 12 trucks and Rental properties in real estate providing employment to more than 30 people in Leechburg on Virginia in the US.
Mr Narayan emphasised that success does not come easy but if the heart is willing then there won’t be any barrier.
“A lot of sacrifices were made to get there,” he said.
He encouraged youths to stay focused on their goals and once they have achieved their goals, things would just fall in place.

 Former Native Land Trust Board Director, Keni Dakuidreketi has been found guilty of five counts of abuse of office for the purpose of gain by the Suva High court. High court Judge Justice, Janaka Bandara overturned the decision of the five assessors who had found him not guilty of abuse of office for the purpose of gain and convicted him of the five charges. The assessors had found Dakuidreketi guilty of abuse of office. |  |
The court heard that Dakuidreketi between 31st March 2004 and 21st September 2004, while being employed as a member of NLTB and Chairman of Vanua Development Corporation, in abuse of the authority of his office, did an arbitrary act for the purpose of gain, by facilitating a loan of $2 million to be made by Vanua Development Corporation to Pacific Connex, which was prejudicial to the NLTB and indigenous Fijians.
The second count relates to Dakuidreketi facilitating a loan of $900,000 to be made by Vanua Development Corporation to Pacific Connex between the 16th and the 29th of November 2004.
The third count said that Dakuidreketi between about 28th February 2005 to 28th April 2005 facilitated a government grant of $1 million disbursed to Vanua Development Corporation through the NLTB to be used as security for a loan to Pacific Connex Limited by Dominion Finance.
For the fourth count Dakuidreketi again between 27th April 2005 to 3rd July 2007 while being employed as a member of NLTB and Chairman of Vanua Development Corporation facilitated a government grant of $1 million disbursed to Vanua Development Corporation through the NLTB to be used as security for overdraft and loan facilities provided to Pacific Connex, by ANZ Bank.
The court also heard that Dakuidreketi between 23rd September 2005 and 29th September 2005 facilitated a loan of $1 million to be made by the Vanua Development Corporation to Pacific Connex, which was prejudicial to the NLTB and the indigenous Fijians.
Vanua Development Corporation was set up as an investment arm of NLTB which included the involvement of Dakuidreketi while Pacific Connex was an IT company set up by Ballu Khan.
