PITA INSIDE RABUKA'S PEARLY GATE: Another UNWISE and Irregular appointment of PITA WISE as Rabuka's Acting Permanent SECRETARY. Under PSC Act, Wise can only be 'Adviser/ Consultant' in the PM's Office

KAI VATA APPOINTMENTS:
*Rabuka himself is PITA WISE's brother-in-law/tavale through the Fiji Times reporter MARGARET WISE who bore Rabuka a son during his term as Prime Minister from 1992 to 1999. In fact, Rabuka bought his son and his mother a home at Raiwasa. 
The late Russell Hunter to Fijileaks Editor-in-Chief, 27 May 2008:
"Vayeshnoi aka the stick insect is quite wrong. It is not well known etc etc. that Margaret was sacked (by me) for indiscipline, but that won't stop the daaku. That said, I think the FT was ill-advised to re-employ her. She was kicked out of the US for overstaying."
Editor: "I dont know anything about her. Isn't she Rabuka's mistress or something of that sort? On the other hand, one could say the same about many others who have joined the regime." 
Hunter: "True. She was Rabuka's mistress. She had his baby and a paternity suit followed involving DNA evidence which said the child had a 99.9 per cent chance of being Rabuka's. He still denied it. She was very bitter about it."
The Fiji Labour Party's official website, 27 May 2008:
[The Fiji Labour Party has crticised The Fiji Times for re-employing a reporter who had brought enormous disrepute to the paper and created national instability with her fabricated, distorted and sensationalized news reporting in 1999/2000.
"By re-employing this discredited reporter, The Fiji Times has clearly exposed its political agenda, and compromised its credibility' said  Lekh Ram Vayeshnoi, FLP's assistant secretary general. "It is well known that Margaret Wise was forced to leave The Fiji Times in disgrace. I am therefore very much surprised that the paper should now re-employ a person whose integrity and credibility as a reporter is seriously in question,"  he said. Her blatant political bias and misreporting associated with her very close liaison with a number of prominent politicians in the Opposition and extremist nationalist quarters at the time, has been the subject of severe criticism not only from the FLP, but academics, journalists and other independent observers in the immediate post 2000 coup period.
It is also well known that feature articles that were written by a certain bureaucrat were being run by The Fiji Times under the name of Margaret Wise. Staff in the Fiji Times newsroom as well senior management were well aware of this duplicity...This is an issue that the Media industry in Fiji as well as the Media Council should take up seriously. The Fiji Times, as a member of the Media, should not be allowed to bring disrepute to the entire industry through such irresponsible and questionable behaviour," Mr Vayeshnoi said.

*Pita Wise (the Wise family are from Wainividio, Navua) is also the brother-in-law of the SPEAKER Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, who is Rabuka's chief as Tui Cakau. Wise was with SODELPA and later followed Rabuka to PAP, along with Naiqama.
*Like Parmesh Chand, Wise needed to be holding a substantive post in the Public Service before he could be appointed to act as Permanent/Acting Secretary.
*Both, Wise and Chand are being recruited from outside the Public Service hence due process has not been fully complied with so the appointments contravene the Public Service Act and PSC Regulations under both the 2013 Constitution and also under Sitiveni Rabuka’s own 1997 Constitution of Fiji
*As we mentioned earlier, the only legitimate way Rabuka and the Coalition government can circumvent the rules is to appoint Wise and Chand as Advisers or Consultants instead, not as PS where due process is necessary.
*Why can't someone get a lawyer to file an injunction in the Fiji High Court regarding both the appointments?
*Here, in Wise's appointment, Commander Kalouniwai could claim is another example of political interference in the Public Service or blatant breach of the Public Service Act.
* BROTHER-IN-LAW NEXUS:
The appointment of Wise, the brother-in-law of the Speaker, reminds us of Francis Kean, the current Prisons Commissioner, who was convicted of manslaughter and jailed but because he was the BROTHER-IN-LAW of the then Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, Kean never spent a night in jail for his crime nor was he instantly dismissed from his post as Navy Commander, as mandated under the PSC Act and Regulations.
Sadly, while Fiji has changed one Coupist Emperor for Another, in Rabuka, the stench from their stinking underwear continues to permeate and pollute the corridors of power: return of the Kai Vata politics.

TRADING GOVERNMENT QUARTERS: We are reliably informed by our military sources that Rabuka might move into the house which is being renovated at Berkeley Crescent, directly opposite the RFMF headquarters. We wonder why Bainimarama and the FFP Opposition (if there is an Opposition) are not creating a stink on Wise's appointment?

Pita Wise says if Bainimarama accepts Rabuka’s offer for a quarters for the Leader of the Opposition, they will then amend the necessary legislation.
Only in Fiji, KAILA

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka has given time to former Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama to stay at the official PM’s residence until he is ready to vacate the house in Muanikau.

Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister’s Office, Pita Wise says the Prime Minister has given Bainimarama time to organise himself and there is no hurry.

Wise confirms that they will make the necessary amendments to the regulations and ensure that Bainimarama is given a government quarters if he wants to take up Rabuka’s offer and move to one as the Leader of the Opposition.

Rabuka continues to stay at his private residence at Namadi Heights after being sworn-in as Prime Minister on December 24th.

Wise also says they will make assessments after Bainimarama vacates the current official residence as it used to be the official residence of the Chief Justice.

The Public Service Commission and Public Works Department will also carry out an assessment of the official PM’s residence at Ratu Sukuna Road.

Wise says the cost to repair that official residence will be determined and they will then see what is best for the Prime Minister. Source: Fijivillage News

Fijileaks: Why FREE ACCOMMODATION to the Leader of the Opposition? 
*What if Opposition leader BAINIMARAMA, who has multiple heart surgeries and heart monitors, DROPS DEAD during the lifetime of Parliament, will the Bainimarama family be evicted from the Government Quarters that Rabuka is planning to provide to Bainimarama family?
*Rabuka's plan is an abuse of TAXPAYERS money and a betrayal of the 80,000plus voters who voted for him, and the NFP and SODELPA voters, who welcomed the Coalition government, and want the new government to launch a criminal investigation into the Bainimarama family's REAL WEALTH, and if found guilty, for Bainimarama to be convicted and sent to prison. 
*As one Fijian taxpayer told Fijileaks: 'It is public funds. We should not be paying for accommodation of a criminal and dictator of 16 years.'
*The Opposition is only entitled to what is in Aiyaz Khaiyum's 2013 Constitution.
*It is not for the BLOODY Coup Godfather Rabuka, hiding behind the wall of IMMUNITY, to decide that Bainimarama, as Leader of Oppostion, should be provided a Government Quarters unlike previous holders of that Office.
*We understand that MARY Bainimarama does not want to move out from the Prime Minister's residence.
*The FFP have 26 members in Parliament out of 55. They should only get their share as stipulated in the Constitution. The cost of accommodation must come out from Opposition's total entitlement
*Will PAP nominated SPEAKER resign if his political leader Rabuka offers free accommodation to the Leader of the Opposition?
*Rabuka's offer is an ABUSE OF OFFICE and he should be charged, for he had not mentioned the proposed proposal in PAP Manifesto.
Will Rabuka's WATERBOY, the NFP leader, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance PRASAD have the GUTS to stand up in Parliament and OPPOSE Government accommodation for Bainimarama.

From Fijileaks Archive, 11 October 2020

"The utter devastation to Mrs. Ana Whippy’s family and her grieving loss were simply described by her victim impact statement. Mr. Kean your assault took away the father of an eight-year old girl and six-year old boy. Your assault also took away a husband. It has left his widow heartbroken, restless and distressed by the worry of her future prospects.They are, however, not the only victims. Your assault undoubtedly also took away the happiest day in any young couple’s life. Their marriage will forever be remembered by these sad, tragic events." 
Justice Gerard Winter, 2007

"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."
