BLACKGUARD in Parliament. Biman Prasad entered Parliament in 2014 by concealing Directorship in Lotus (Fiji). If he had been caught then, he would have been fined $50,000, jailed for 10 years or both. Expel Prasad

26/5/2025

 

BLACKGUARD: With apologies to Ashwin Raj's 'Dictionary' and the Oxford Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, 'Blackguard: A man who behaves in a dishonourable or contemptible way.'

*If we had got hold of his mandatory statutory declarations ten years ago (2014) and not ten years later (2024), Biman Prasad would have been thrown out of Parliament, and possibly languishing in Naboro Prison for falsifying his 2014 statutory declaration. He got elected as NFP MP and leader of the party, and now as Finance and Deputy Prime Minister.
*He, along with Ficac Commissioner Barbara Malimali and her side-kick Lusiate Fotofili must, under s131 of the RFMF Act, be removed and handed over to Police for prosecution.

Picture

*In April 2025, Malimali and Fotofili closed Prasad's case, citing that he was not required to declare his superannuation and that he had declared his shares and had confirmed not receiving any dividends from Lotus (Fiji) and Lotus Tours and Travel, a separate entity associated with Prasad. (Editor: Malimali and Fotofili had based their decision to close the Biman File after assessing the two complaints that were filed by Alex Forwood, Sydney, Australia). The two chose to ignore Fijileaks complaints with scores of documents, including that Biman Prasad did not disclose, as required, that his wife was trustee of Global Girmit Institute.
*We recently revealed that as co-director his cousin Sunil Chand has been receiving a director's fees. If so, what about Prasad?
*But since he lied in his FIRST statutory declaration to enter Parliament in 2014 under the 2013 Constitution, he must be expelled from Parliament and his case, including subsequent cases, be handled by Fiji Police.
*We also allege that he might have lied about the total worth of shares in his first declaration. He claimed he held $85,000 worth of shares in a company - he didn't reveal the name - now we know it was Lotus (Fiji), and neither did he reveal that he was one of the two founding directors of Lotus (Fiji). He was gifted 5% shares, presumably to enable the company to obtain a bank loan to build 28 villa units, then valued at over $4million.
​*Coming soon: The Valuation Report that proves Prasad lied about the total worth of his shares: $85,000. It was worth $210,000 in 2014.

*Lotus Construction (Fiji) Ltd, commonly referred to as Lotus(Fiji), was officially registered on 15 March 2014. The company was co-founded by Biman Prasad and his cousin Sunil Chand. At the time of registration, Prasad held a 5% share (gifted to him by Chand) in the company, while Chand held the remaining 95%. By 2018, their ownership was adjusted to an equal 50/50 shareholding.
*Fijileaks investigations revealed that he did not declare in his first declaration (28 July 2014) and subsequently his directorship in Lotus (Fiji), as mandated under Fiji's Political Parties Act 2013.
*In his Maiden Speech, on Wednesday 15 October 2014, as the newly elected NFP MP and party leader in Parliament, Prasad told us that the NFP fielded 49 men and women of integrity, honesty, and qualified to serve the people of Fiji. Three were elected to Parliament:

Picture
'Madam Speaker, our people have spoken. They have elected their government for the next four years. We wish the Prime Minister Honourable Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama and his government well for the next four years. As a party the NFP fought the general elections on specific issues. Team NFP had 49 men and women of integrity, honesty, and qualified to serve the people of Fiji. ​
Picture
We did not campaign along racial and religious lines or promote lies and deceit. We thank our members, supporters and well-wishers for placing their trust in us. We did not win any seats in the 1999 and 2006 general elections. Madam Speaker, it is therefore a matter of some pride that the NFP is back in Parliament with 3 seats. We were here in this fine building during the Legislative Council era led by the late A D Patel in the 1960’s. Then the NFP raised the issue of the need for a pensions institution for our workers. We were here represented by the late Siddiq Koya when we extended our support to transition to full independence. We were here when under the leadership of now retired international jurist Jai Ram Reddy when the country made considerable progress economically and socially in the 1970s and early 1980s. We were here when that progress was painfully derailed by the start of the debilitating cycle of coups. We are here today to help put that last 27 years of suffering behind us; heal our nation and move on to find our greatness and our rightful place as the leader of the South Pacific. We had, like other parties contested to form government. We have fallen short. But this takes nothing away from the heroic effort led by the greatest team of volunteers in the country – the Team NFP. A heartfelt thanks to Team NFP. We are represented by three MPs today. Their election speaks of the resilience of the principles of fairness, equality and social justice. These principles have defined the National Federation Party inside this House and outside for all 51 years of its existence.'

*Biman Prasad MUST be KICKED OUT of Fiji's Parliament. He lied and falsified details in his statutory declarations in 2014, and continued until 2024. He must be expelled from Parliament.
*In closing the 'Ficac File', Barbara Malimali claimed that 'As there were no grievances raised in almost a decade, any ordinary person in the Honourable Dr Prasad's position might think that the declarations provided were sufficient'.
*We recently pointed out that the Political Parties Act 2013 requires that election candidates declare their incomes, assets, shares, directorships etc truthfully and faithfully. Biman Prasad lied for 10 years (for a decade) until we got hold of his declarations (2014-24).
​*Here, we are guided by the words of the great English judge Lord Denning in King v Victor Parsons & Co [1973]:

Picture
“The word 'fraud' here is not used in the common law sense. It is used in the equitable sense to denote conduct by the defendant or his agent such that it would be 'against conscience' for him to avail himself of the lapse of time. The cases show that, if a man knowingly commits a wrong (such as digging underground another man's coal); or a breach of contract (such as putting in bad foundations to a house), in such circumstances that it is unlikely to be found out for many a long day, he cannot rely on the Statute of Limitations as a bar to the claim: see Bulli Coal Mining Co v Osborne [1899] AC 351 and Applegate v Moss [1971] 1 QB 406.
​
In order to show that he 'concealed' the right of action 'by fraud', it is not necessary to show that he took active steps to conceal his wrongdoing or breach of contract. It is sufficient that he knowingly committed it and did not tell the owner anything about it. He did the wrong or committed the breach secretly. By saying nothing he keeps it secret. He conceals the right of action. He conceals it by 'fraud' as those words have been interpreted in the cases. To this word 'knowingly' there must be added recklessly': see Beaman v ARTS Ltd [1949] 1 KB 550, 565-566. Like the man who turns a blind eye. He is aware that what he is doing may well be a wrong, or a breach of contract, but he takes the risk of it being so. He refrains from further inquiry least it should prove to be correct: and says nothing about it. The court will not allow him to get away with conduct of that kind. It may be that he has no dishonest motive: but that does not matter. He has kept the plaintiff out of the knowledge of his right of action: and that is enough: see Kitchen v Royal Air Force Association [1958] 1 WLR 563.”

*DENNING and FIJI: Lord Denning, played a key role in resolving a dispute in Fiji's sugar industry. In 1969, he was appointed to arbitrate a conflict between Fiji's sugarcane growers and the Australian owners of the sugar refining mills. The arbitration was prompted by the growers' dissatisfaction with their contract and the mill owners' threat to leave Fiji if terms were not improved. The conflict stemmed from a contract expiring in March 1970 that sugarcane growers felt was unfavourable to them. Dennings arbitration led to a solution that favoured the growers by creating a new price formula and requiring mill owners to have their accounts inspected by an accountant.

LORD DENNING: "In order to show that he 'concealed' the right of action 'by fraud', it is not necessary to show that he took active steps to conceal his wrongdoing or breach of contract. It is sufficient that he knowingly committed it and did not tell the owner anything about it."
*In Biman Prasad's case, he knowingly and recklessly concealed his directorship of Lotus (Fiji) from the Fiji Elections Office when he fought and won the 2014 election under the 2013 Constitution and the d'Hondt Electoral System. Now, he wants the same Constitution dismantled. He must be expelled from Parliament, and the Fiji Police (with the help of the RFMF]) must take him into custody, and lay the charges that he was facing on 5 September.

LAME DUCK at USP. From Vice-Chancellor to Caretaker. Pal AHLUWALIA ordered not to do any more appointments, project initiatives, sign deals as USP Council finalises final PAYOUT for him to exit as Vice-Chancellor

*We understand that he will walk away with a much smaller financial package than the rumoured $1.4million that was touted for a long time. His fate was sealed at the 99th USP Council meeting at Auckland, New Zealand. He is expected to exit USP in a couple of weeks. Until then, he will just be a 'Caretaker VC' - Lame Duck!

GATECRASHER: What the hell was Biman Prasad doing at the Auckland meeting as Finance Minister (Aiyaz Khaiyum all over again)? It should have been left to the Education Minister Aseri Radrodro to represent Fiji

The Fijian Deputy Prime Minister and Minster for Finance Biman Prasad says suggestions that he is colluding with the University of the South Pacific (USP) vice-chancellor and president are "nonsense".

Prasad and Education Minister Aseri Radrodro are in Auckland for the 99th USP Council meeting this week.

He has been accused of colluding with USP's chief executive Professor Pal Ahluwalia in a "clear case of conflict of interest".

"The USP Council is aware that USP is experiencing a leadership crisis," according to a letter to editor published by the Samoa Observer.
​
"Professor Pal Ahluwalia has unfortunately turned out to be a divisive and demoralising head of the regional institution lacking in vision, statecraft and worst of all the undermining of staff of regional member countries.
"He has a close personal relationship with the DPM Prasad.

"We have confirmed reports that over the past week, [Prasad] and Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor Gurmeet Singh have been meeting with Professor Ahluwalia at the VCP's residence, a clear case of collusion."

However, Prasad has called the allegations "nonsense," telling RNZ Pacific, "I met him many times at his house."

"I meet a lot of people at the university. I was a professor at the university, and many of these people right around the table are my friends [with] whom I have had lunch, dinner, coffee. I have visited their places. The Prime Minister of Samoa is a good friend of mine. You know, when she comes, she comes to my home. So I can't understand this nonsense that comes from people. Some people have nothing else to do."


The regional university is jointly owned by 12 Pacific Island governments.

The institution has been facing ongoing problems involving leadership and staff dissatisfaction, with Fiji-based unions picketing last October after the sacking of a staff union leader.

From Fijileaks Archive, 22 April 2016
*For years we believed BIMAN PRASAD was a paragon of virtue and truth until we got hold recently of his 'Lotus Construction (Fiji) Ltd File' and his statutory declarations from 2014-2024.
​*We had also supported Pal Ahluwalia against FFP dictatorship.

BIMANGATE: When the Electoral Law snared him for his TEN years of LIES, his lawyers tried to conjure one last legal trick. As NFP LEADER he was not obligated to disclose anything under the party's CONSTITUTION

22/5/2025

 

'As NFP Leader, [Biman Prasad] is not an 'office holder' within the meaning of that term in the Act and is therefore not a person who is required to make the 'office holder' disclosures under s24.'
Australian KC Martin Daubney, 24 August 2024 to Richard Naidu and FICAC.
*Prasad's legal team chose to ignore s24(2) which required Prasad, as an election candidate along with other candidates, to declare his income, assets, properties, directorships, shares and dividends under the Political Parties Act 2013. He stood for election as an NFP candidate in the 2014, 2018, and 2022 elections. He led the party into elections and signed the Coalition Pact to form the government with PAP and SODELPA.
*He began his lies in his first declaration in July 2014 when he did not disclose his Directorship in Lotus Construction (Fiji) Ltd. For TEN years he lied in his declarations for we didn't have his LOTUS FILE until last year, and the Fiji Elections Office relies solely on the candidates to declare truthfully and faithfully their statutory declarations. The FEO will investigate only if someone lodges a complaint against the candidate's declaration on publication.
*In the 2022 election, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum changed the rule and made the declarations private. We managed to get hold of Prasad's declarations.
​*Prasad's legal team also ignored the then Chief Justice Tony Gates ruling in FICAC v Rabuka (2018), where the CJ Gates had confirmed that the PARTY LEADER fell under the ambit of an office holder. Gates stated at p63:
'For a party leader not to come within the category 'office holder' would seem odd in view of the importance of such a position in any party. If the party leader is later nominated to be a candidate in the elections he will have to make a similar declaration eg section 24(2). But as the matter stands with the definition of office holder I find it is sufficiently wide to include 'party leader'.

*Biman Prasad and his lawyers 'Indian Rope Trick': A long piece of rope is left in a basket and placed in an open field, usually by a fakir (beggar). The rope levitates, with no external support. A boy assistant, a jamoora, climbs the rope and then descends to the ground.
*Another version has the magician (or his assistant) disappearing after reaching the top of the rope, then reappearing at the ground level.
*On 24 August 2024, Prasad's lawyer Richard Naidu of Munro Leys obtained a legal opinion from Martin Daubney KC in Australia, and forwarded it to FICAC. Daubney, who had represented Naidu in his 'Scandalizing the Court' before the Fiji High Court, concluded: 
'It is my opinion that Professor Prasad, as NFP Leader, is not an 'office holder' within the meaning of that term in the Act and is therefore not a person who is required to make the 'office holder' disclosures under s24.'
​*Basically, they were throwing every other political leader under the bus, including NFP's own party candidates who, along with Prasad, were required to declare under the Political Parties Act 2013 their incomes, assets, gifts, properties, directorships, shares, and dividends.

19 MAY 2025, Where was the bogus 'i-Taukei Messiah' GEORGE Speight? How come Fiji media did not seek out the convicted criminal to find out how he was celebrating or regretting his violent and racist Putch in 2000

*DEPOSED PRIME MINISTER MAHENDRA CHAUDHRY, after being released, said he had been told of Rabuka's complicity by the leader of the CRW unit in parliament, Ilisoni Ligairi. In talks with Chaudhry, Ligairi had claimed he was very angry with Rabuka because he had ditched them at the last minute.

Picture
Picture

Fijileaks: Astonishingly, in June 2000, shortly after George Speight and others seized Parliament, Rabuka told the world that the old South Africa might be a model for Fiji. He no longer seemed to believe in a multi-racial chamber. Rabuka said Fiji might need racially segregated houses of parliament, ‘like pre-Mandela South Africa’, as part of a constitutional settlement to its problems. The solution to Fiji's problems ‘must come with a constitutional arrangement that [i-Taukei] Fijians can work with ... and at the moment, they cannot work with the 1997 Constitution’. *Basically, he was disowning the very 1997 Rabuka-Reddy Constitution. The two had lost the 1999 election under their Constitution, including NFP candidates Biman Prasad and Wadan Narsey, who was touted as Rabuka's new Finance Minister

Picture

Rabuka: "I supported every move to destabilise the Chaudhry government, but I was not part of the coup. I was not involved in any of the [pre-coup] marches. But I was going to be involved in the next one because it was [to be held at] the time of the signing of the successor to the Lome Convention this month.’
*Rabuka said he had known Speight and had played golf with him and knew of his commitment to indigenous rights. However, he did not agree that Speight represented the ‘soul’ or the ‘voice’ of the indigenous people, or  the i-Taukei. ‘Why should he consider himself the voice of the iTaukei? His grandfather was a European. The military has only [negotiated with] Speight because of the security of the hostages. He has no legal claim. I don't have any moral stance on whether his actions are right or wrong. I cannot say anything about that because I was in the coup in 1987. I am giving my opinions as a private citizen.’ But Speight ‘has lost the plot and right now he is trying to hang onto every little straw that floats by. He is living in a bubble, and very soon that bubble will burst’

RABUKA ON THE MUANIKAU ACCORD:
The military has only [negotiated with] Speight because of the security of the hostages. He has no legal claim.

*The then interim Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase had obtained our founding Editor-in-Chief's four-part legal opinion that was published in Fiji's Daily Post newspaper and had passed it to the DPP's office to convict George Speight. Our Editor had also called for the recusal of then Chief Magistrate Salesi Temo who was preparing to release George Speight from Nukulau Island.

*The secret Board of Inquiry (BOI) Report into the beatings of George Speight and his group was so sensitive that my sources inside the RFMF were too frightened to send it to me via post or e-mail.
*We agreed that a trusted source should smuggle the BOI Report out of Fiji on his way to London.
*In 2015, I travelled to London and received the Report from the source at an arranged location far from the Fiji High Commission.
​*I exposed its contents the same year.
​*The Report recommends that criminal charges be brought against Viliame Naupoto under s69 of the Fiji Army Act 1955, for conduct that went against Prejudice of Good Order and Military Discipline.

LEGAL QUIZ: How could someone who was sentenced to death by hanging but was pardoned and his sentence commuted to life in prison, be PARDONED again - only in Fiji. George Speight had pleaded guilty. He was 'not' pardoned but was showered with MERCY, so claimed the Coalition government.

BIMANGATE and Taxman: Prasad holds 50% shares in Lotus (Fiji), is co-Director. Claimed in declarations he receives NO Dividends. His business partner in his tax returns claims he gets 'Directors Fees'. 2016: $20,000

A Tale of Two Lotus Directors Fees 
In closing Biman Prasad's 'Ficac File', Barbara Malimali and her side-kick Lisiate Fotofili stated
(24 April 2025):

"In relation to Lotus Construction and Lotus Tours and Travel; the form requires that declarants are to declare any dividends received and directorships. Honourable Dr. Prasad declared his shares in two companies, the value of one company and the loan obtained from the bank. Honourable Dr. Prasad also declared that he did not receive any dividends. So, whilst the Honourable Dr. Prasad declared his shares, no income in the form of dividends were received from the companies."
*First, Prasad was facing charges under the Political Parties Act 2013 for failing to declare in 2014 and subsequently that he was one of two DIRECTORS of Lotus Construction (Fiji) Ltd. We provided all the documents to FICAC before Malimali was parachuted in on 4 September 2024 and put a stop to charging Prasad, and later, on 25 April 2025, closed Biman Prasad's file on highly dubious and spurious grounds.

*In the course of our investigations, we found that Prasad's cousin and co-director Sunil Chand informed the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service as far back as 2016 (two years after Biman Chand and Sunil Chand had founded Lotus Fiji) that he was in receipt of a Directors Fees to the tune of $20,000. In that year, Prasad held 5% shares in the company. There is no evidence in Prasad's 2014/2015 declarations whether the shares were a GIFT or he purchased his shares. 
*If those shares were a GIFT, Prasad should have declared it under the Political Parties Act 2013. Worst, he did not declare that he was one of two DIRECTORS of Lotus (Fiji), a failure for which he was facing charges and was to be presented before a court on 5 September 2024.
​*We also established from documents on us that as recently as 24 November 2023, the accountant for Lotus (Fiji) declared the following:
'Confirmation of Earnings Mr Sunil Chand: This is to certify that Mr Sunil Chand is a Director of Lotus Construction (Fiji) Pte Ltd. He earns a Directors Fees from the company as part of his engagement'.
*We call on Fiji Police to execute a search warrant and uplift Fiji's Finance Minister and the FRCS line manager Biman Prasad's tax returns from 2014-2025 to establish if he is being paid a Directors Fees, and if so, whether he has been lying in his statutory declarations that he has been receiving NO Dividends from Lotus Construction (Fiji) Ltd.
​*We wrote to the Lotus (Fiji) accountant on 2 May 2025 but we received no response from him.

*Meanwhile, the confirmation letter that his co-director receives fees

*In his 2014 statutory declaration Biman Prasad failed to disclose that he was one of two directors in the Lotus Construction (Fiji) Ltd. He continued to hide his directorship until he became Coalition's Finance Minister in 2022. He was facing 10 charges when Malmali closed his 'Ficac File'.

*BIMAN PARASAD did not disclose in his statutory declarations that he was one of two directors (the other his cousin SUNIL CHAND) of Lotus Construction (Fiji) Ltd, and that he had been gifted 5% shares in the company on 15 March 2014. He was still Professor of Economics at the University of the South Pacific.
*He prolifically lied in his statutory declarations for the next ten years until he became Finance Minister in the Coalition government. 

*Prasad had called Chaudhry a crook for not declaring $2 million being kept in Australia.

*As we close in on another Finance Minister and FRCA line-manager BIMAN PRASAD, he must be aware of our Founding Editor-in-Chief's role in the conviction of FLP leader and Bainimarama's Interim Finance Minister Mahendra Pal Chaudhry. In fact, Biman Prasad has been reminding Chaudhry of the $2million in the Sydney bank account that our founding Editor-in-Chief had revealed in the Fiji Sun in 2008.

Fijileaks Founding Editor-in-Chief: In April 2014, Chaudhry was convicted in the Fiji High Court, six years after I had revealed the FLP leader's $2million in his Sydney bank account.

He began his lies in 2014 and even got elected under the d'Hondt electoral system as NFP MP and leader in Parliament.
*We once again call on the Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka to ask Prasad to resign as Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, irrespective of the findings of the Commission of Inquiry on Biman Prasad.
​*He is a fugitive from law because of FICAC's Barbara Malimali.
​*We will reveal how his legal team tried to claim that the charges against Prasad were baseless but FICAC shot it down and wanted him charged.

LISIATE FOTOFILI, Co-Conspirator with Barbara Malimali
*According to our FICAC sources, it was Fotofili, appointed in February 2025 as new Acting Deputy FICAC Commissioner to replace Francis Pulewai, who overruled three legal opinions from FICAC's own legal counsels, and closed the 'Prasad File' on highly dubious grounds.
*His own appointment, as we have argued previously, is invalid because Puleiwei was constructively dismissed by Chief Justice Temo.
*Moreover, he had not resigned from his judicial duties before taking up the administrative position with FICAC.
*Fotofili must be sacked and charged with perverting the cause of justice.
*FICAC's legal counsels defended their decision to charge Prasad.

TARGETING Radrodro instead of Biman Prasad. Rabuka went with Towel over his head, begging Sodelpa's support to form Coalition government. As PM, he wants Sodelpa to throw in the towel, conform - if NOT - Get Out

10/5/2025

 

*FICAC's Fugitive on the Run. For over a year, Rabuka has all the documentary evidence on him from us against BIMAN PRASD and his litany of lies and falsifications in his mandatory statutory declarations from 2014 to 2024, that warrants the immediate sacking of Prasad as Deputy Prime Minister and Fiji's Finance Minister. 
*The RFMF Commander was also sent all the evidence against Prasad.
*We may remember that Rabuka, while in Auckland, New Zealand, showed the then president Wiliame Katonivere the Fiji Pine Report, telling him, 'Resign, or Face Criminal Charges'.
*Yet, he is protecting Biman Prasad, who we repeat must be arrested by Fiji Police now that Barbara Malimali has closed his 'Ficac File'.
*His attack on Radrodro is a 'duna ploy' to get rid of Sodelpa as a junior partner in the Coalition, for Rabuka has Nine former FFP Defectors.
*It is time Sitiveni Rabuka released the COI Report to Fiji and the World.

I have received a complaint from some civil servants from the Ministry of Education and recently the General Secretary had blown his top in criticising the mission we have in Tonga.”

*It is no doubt that the SODELPA defectors to PAP 'stole' thousands upon thousands' of the party's votes [including PAP leader Rabuka], leaving SODELPA to now re-build its grassroots base. The last EIGHT left behind the party in tatters when they fled as soon as Parliament was dissolved and election announced.
*They left the party foul-mouthing its leader, the members, and the party - with Lynda Tabuya describing it as 'A HOUSE OF GHOSTS'
*Now, they are begging SODELPA to support Sitiveni Rabuka as Prime Minister, the very man who resigned from Parliament as SODELPA leader and ran away to form PAP.
*He was followed by Lynda Tabuya, SODELPA's Opposition Whip, and many other high-profile DEFECTORS.
*SODELPA MUST CHOOSE WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PARTY AND NOT WHAT IS BEST FOR PAP, NFP and RABUKA and PRASAD.
After all, FFP has 26 seats, PAP 21, and NFP, 5.

*FICAC's then acting Deputy Commissioner Francis Puleiwai to Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka
​(24 September 2024, in her 

'Out Brief Report'): 
'The Finance Minister Biman Prasad was facing TEN Charges', including failure to disclose under the Political Parties Act 2013 that is wife Rajni Kaushal Chand was a founder and trustee of the Global Girmit Institute, founded in 2017.

*Fijileaks: On 2 September 2024 FICAC had recommended that Biman Prasad be charged with ten counts relating to his lies and falsifications in his statutory declarations. On 4 September Barbara Malimali's appointment was rushed through as new FICAC Commissioner. The next day, on 5 September, Richard Naidu, the NFP stalwart and Prasad's lawyer wrote to Malimali requesting that Prasad must NOT be charged for the World Bank chief Ajay Banga was in town, and if charged, Fiji will be shamed. Now, Malimali has closed Biman's File on dubious reasons.
​*We will return to Richard Naidu's role in another installment.

Unfortunately, so far nothing has been done to preserve the memories of the Girmitiyas and there is a need to introduce it in the school curriculum, to establish museums to preserve the artifacts of that era and to have a comprehensive database for Girmitiyas.

This has been highlighted by Global Girmit Institute Chair Dr Ganesh Chand who says lack of action to acknowledge and preserve the past was what led to the formation of the institute in 2017.

He says they have been proposing to various governments and leaders on ways to preserve and to acknowledge the history of Girmit and only recently has the new government been able to acknowledge that by recognizing a day in the year as Girmit Day and this is remarkable.

While speaking to fijivillage News, Dr Chand says a lot needs to be done to preserve Girmit history as it is part of history which cannot be denied.

While highlighting this year’s Girmit Day theme of “Preserving the Past, Envisioning the Future”, he says Girmit history has to come into the curriculum in both primary and secondary schools and museums need to established to preserve artifacts and how life was in the past.

Dr Chand says despite budget allocation, and an announcement in 2018 for a Girmit Museum project, so far, nothing has been done.

The researcher further says people continue to face challenges in tracing their ancestral roots due to the lack of accessible information, as most historical records are only available at the National Archives in Suva. Dr Chand says they have launched a digital archive – girmitdata.org – which now hosts digitised copies of the original indenture passes.

However, he says much more work is needed to verify and clean the database, which contains over 60,000 handwritten arrival cards of Girmitiyas, each with 15 to 18 pieces of personal information.
​
Dr Chand says another area that requires focus is tracking those who returned to India, those who moved to other countries such as Mauritius or the Caribbean, and those who stayed in Fiji and where they served under the indenture system.

He says the National Archives holds valuable records of these placements, but digitalisation is essential to make them accessible to the public.

Dr Chand stresses that this work is vital not just for preserving the legacy of the Girmit era, but also for empowering descendants to connect with their past and better understand their identity.

Girmit commemoration events will take place from Saturday to Monday at Subrail Park in Labasa.
Indian Minister of State for External Affairs of India Pabitra Margherita will be part of the events on Monday.
​
The public holiday for Girmit is on Monday, 12th May.

*ZIP UP Under Doctrine of Public Interest, Online Safety Commissioner

 *We beg to agree with RICHARD NAIDU, a former journalist colleague from the 1980's, to Online Safety Commission:
"Your warning to the media (including the Fiji Times that uploaded the viral video) of "consequences" for circulating the now infamous video of a senior officer in a nightclub brawl is unwarranted and ill-judged."

Fijileaks: The Doctrine of Public Interest in the context of journalism refers to the principle that certain information, even if private or confidential, should be disclosed to the public if it serves a broader societal benefit...including shooting lurid private videos while holding public office at the taxpayers expense.
*Meanwhile, Hell Hath No Fury Like an Old Man Scorned:

"Section 24 does not exist to protect an accountable public figure from embarrassment."

​Dear Online Safety Commission. Sorry, but you are wrong and you owe it to the public to get it right.

Your warning to the media of “consequences” for circulating the now infamous video of a senior corrections officer in a nightclub brawl is unwarranted and ill-judged. You claim to respect public interest journalism and freedom of expression, but your statement is exactly the opposite of what you say.
​
It is clear that for there to be an offence under section 24 of the Act (first part below) there must be intent to harm an individual. Individuals or media organisations taking steps to hold a senior public official to account for his actions in a public place do not have that intent. In simple terms, section 24 exists to protect people vulnerable to publication by others of private photos, communications or other personal matter which are of no legitimate interest to anyone else.

​Section 24 does not exist to protect an accountable public figure from embarrassment.

You say that respect for rule of law must guide our actions. So please re-think your statement with due respect to citizens’ freedom both to impart and to receive information under s.17 of the Constitution.
