*JSC Game Plan: Barbara Malimali will resurface at FICAC in three weeks*Smoking Gun Tape Recording confirms 5 September drama at FICAC*Sending Barbara Malimali on leave for three weeks means she is still on full salary, with all privileges and benefits intact. It seems the JSC is still protecting her. If she were suspended, it would mean that she did wrong and should face disciplinary action, which would require an investigation into her termination of Kuliniasi Saumi.
|
*Now, let us see what Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka will do? With the JSC going rogue, will Rabuka exercise his powers, under the Constitution and advice the President to suspend Barbara Malimali. |
*They were so blinded by political and other motives that they manipulated the law for purposes not ideally intended to serve, with the Fiji Law Society president Wylie Clarke silent as a 'church mouse'. But, then, he has been caught on 'Recording' whisking Malimali away.
*The 'Recording' led Malimali to sack her chief investigator Kuliniasi Saumi while he was still testifying before the COI.
*In recent days a gaggle of so-called experts, including Leung and Biman Prasad (Ficac Fugitive), want the 2013 Constitution changed - when they failed to interpret basic provisions that allows Barbara Malimali to be suspended. |
*Electoral offences are criminal in nature, with heavy fines and imprisonment (The former Chief Justice Anthony Gates, 2018).
*Prasad consistently and prolifically lied (2014-2024) in his statutory declarations under the Political Parties Act 2013
*$90,000 HEIST from FICAC Budget. Our FICAC sources allege that Malimali has unlawfully forced FICAC Manager to pay another $90,000 to her COI legal counsel Tanya Waqanika in legal fees. |
Fijileaks: RESIGN, Attorney-General Graham Leung, for refusing to provide $15,000 to the COI to obtain the NZ KC's legal opinion. The Attorney-General's Office, the Solicitor-General's Office and the Chief Justice SALESI TEMO could have provided the same legal opinion free of charge. But they did not, for they were protecting BARBARA MALIMALI |
*Justice Pathik, good-natured Holi celebration, and the question of apprehended bias and recusal in the High Court
By VICTOR LAL (Opinion Column, Fiji Sun, 2008)
"I want to dispute the interim Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum’s warning to the media that he would not tolerate any contempt of court and comments on the recent judgment and anybody bringing the judiciary or the administration of justice into contempt will be called to account for their actions. I presume he knows better as a student of law that the conduct of the judges and their judgments are open to scrutiny once a court has delivered a judgment. His constant threats to the media only reinforce “the all-too-common tendency to view the attorney-general and his department as no more than the law firm that is always on call to serve the interest of the political party that is in power at the time.” The A-G, despite his political role as a supporter and advisor to the government, is meant to wear an apolitical hat in his parens patriae role as guardian of the public interest. The judiciary and the media are also guardians of the public interest."

Re: Second Set of Complaints Date: 14th February 2025
Re: Second Set of Complaints Date: 14th February 2025
1. On 6th February I received a letter from the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) acknowledging my response to the allegations made against me previously by Nancy Tikoisuva.
2. In their letter, the JSC advised me that there had been yet more allegations made by Nancy Tikoisuva since I was exonerated (the second set of complaints) and therefore granted me an additional three weeks leave in order to answer these newest allegations against me. The JSC also invited me to take further time if I required.
3. The next day on 7th February 2025 I responded to the JSC to advise that I would take up its invitation of an additional three weeks leave in order to concentrate on responding to the second set of complaints which are voluminous.
4. I further advised the JSC that despite the President’s directive on 7th January 2025 that all my entitlements should be repaid to me “immediately”, this has still not happened.
5. I also attached two invoices from AK Lawyers for legal services provided to me throughout the 21 months I participated in the Tribunal process before I was eventually exonerated.
6. As is usual in civil proceedings, the successful litigant would expect his costs to be paid by the complaining party, in this case, the Honourable Minister for Justice, Mr Siromi Turaga. I therefore respectfully requested that approval be granted by the JSC for me to be reimbursed my legal costs in full.
7. Despite repeated follow-ups, I have received no acknowledgment or response from the JSC to my letter of 7th February 2025.
8. I had also previously advised the JSC that I had delegated my authority under the Constitution to Assistant DPP Pauline Madanavosa. Throughout the past week, we were in regular contact and I was satisfied that the ODPP was functioning normally.
9. It was necessary for me to delegate my authority to Ms Madanavosa since the Chief Registrar, Tomasi Bainivalu, had informed me by letter previously that the Deputy DPP John Rabuku would oversee the operations of the ODPP during my leave. This was not possible however since three Supreme Court judges had earlier ruled that John Rabuku was ineligible under the Constitution to run the ODPP.
10. I was therefore surprised to learn through media reports earlier in the week that the JSC ignored my delegated authority and unilaterally and without the courtesy of first informing me, appointed Nancy Tikoisuva to act as DPP during my further leave of absence, someone I do not regard as suitable.
11. This decision made no sense and has caused further disruption to the smooth running of the ODPP.
12. Today, I sent a letter to the JSC responding fully to the second set of complaints by Nancy Tikoisuva since my exoneration in the hope that the JSC would see the urgency of responding quickly and finally determine that the continual succession of complaints to the JSC should come to an end.
13. I reiterated my contention that these multiple complaints are misconceived, baseless, and trivial coming as they are directly after the Tribunal exonerated me and when the JSC had been in possession of my personal file for 21 months. I again questioned why this second set of complaints are only now being brought up.
14. I said that it appears to be a tactic that complaints are “drip-fed” through the system in order to cause maximum disruption to the ODPP and in order to prevent me from resuming my duties.
15. I said that it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that all of these complaints have been brought with malicious intent in order to frustrate my return to the ODPP.
16. In a similar vein to the complaint by Siromi Turaga, who during my suspension continued to make defamatory statements against me both inside and outside parliament, it is obvious that Nancy Tikoisuva is, likewise, trying her utmost to publicly discredit me and besmirch my reputation as the DPP.
These latest complaints appear to be simply the latest front in a long-running campaign to prematurely end my term as DPP.
17. I strongly urged the JSC to do the right thing and dismiss the complaints and allow me to resume my duties without further interruption or interference.
18. Once more, I feel the need to apologise to the President, the Prime Minister, the Fijian people, and the staff of the ODPP for the delay in my return to work.

Fijileaks
POLITICIANS SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEIR SELF-RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION, THEIR PROTESTS ABOUT THEIR RIGHT TO PRIVACY, TO OBSCURE AN EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TRUTH:
THE VOTERS HAVE RIGHTS, TOO
Fijileaks: Using the state of art technology, we were satisified that the nude (ponographic) video was NOT FAKE.
*We, therefore, sent it to Lynda Tabuya's political and party boss, ministerial line-manager PM Sitiveni Rabuka for further action.
*Later, Tabuya claimed that the video was for her 'husband'.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
'Ms Lynda Tabuya to play victim is pathetic and downright insulting to any right-thinking person and to our intelligence, let alone women. Through her actions and utterances, she has further undermined public trust and confidence in the Coalition Government. Enough is enough!.'
*ADI SIVIO QORO, the Commerce Minister in the multiparty cabinet of former prime minister Laisenia Qarase, deposed in the 2006 Bainimarama Coup
CAUGHT ON CAMERA. TABUYA, 'Oh, for My Hubby':'There is nothing illegal or imoral about sharing private videos and images between two consenting adults who are in a relationship. In this case, it was me and my husband.'
SECOND COMING: Once again, PAP saves Tabuya from EXPULSION
*She has claimed that the nude video was a consensual act between her and her 'husband'. But Malimali has closed her Ficac File on the ground that Tabuya has been divorced from her husband since 2016, so was not required to disclose her ex-husband's wealth in the statutory declarations. The former acting Deputy Commissioner Francis Puleiwai was preparing to charge Tabuya over her 2023 declaration.
*On receiving the nude video, and after over 50,000 had viewed it on Viber, we had sent it to Sitiveni Rabuka and Manoa Kamikamica, her co-chair of the Anti-Porn Task Force.
*We had called on PAP hierarchy to investigate Lynda Tabuya.
*Now, they have returned a verdict: 'We give her second chance.'
In March 2024, she was stripped of PAP's Deputy Leadership over the sex and drug scandal in Room 233 in Windsor Hotel, Melbourne, Australia
The Doctrine of Public Interest:
Over the decades, British newspaper editors have forced the resignations of British MPs and Peers in the House of Lords, citing their decision to expose these sex perverts in the public interest.
The deputy speaker of the House of Lords, the upper chamber of the U.K. parliament, resigned Tuesday after a newspaper published a video that appears to show the Labour peer, John Sewel, taking drugs with sex workers.
In a letter to Parliament, Lord Sewel apologised for the “pain and embarrassment” caused by the release of footage — obtained by the tabloid The Sun on Sunday — which apparently shows him snorting white powder from a woman’s breasts.
The Sun also published a picture Monday of Sewel wearing an orange bra and leather jacket, smoking a cigarette.
Sewel, a 69-year-old former university lecturer from Scotland, had resisted calls to step down, including from Prime Minister David Cameron. The announcement of his resignation was welcomed by fellow peers including the former leader of the upper house, Lord Hill, who is now a European commissioner.
Hill told BBC Radio 4 that those responsible for setting standards in the House of Lords must uphold them and that the deputy speaker’s position had become untenable.
“I am glad that he has had a change of heart,” said Hill. “I think he has done the right thing and I am relieved that has happened.”
Asked why he believed it had taken Sewel nearly three days to decide to quit, Hill replied: “Better late than never.”
In his resignation letter, Sewel said the question of whether he had breached the code of conduct for peers was “essentially technical,” but there were “bigger questions” of whether his behavior was compatible with membership of the House and whether it would undermine public confidence in the institution if he remained.
“I believe the answer to both these questions means that I can best serve the House by leaving it,” he said.
Footage has also emerged of him making disparaging remarks about a number of senior politicians, including the prime minister.

*LYNDA TABUYA claims the nude video was for her 'husband's' pleasure.
*Disgraced South African Home Affairs Minister while resigning:
'I was masturbating for my wife'
*Fijileaks: On receiving the nude video, we sent it directly to Sitiveni Rabuka and other PAP Ministers in the public interest, which disclosed activity that violated public morality, given that Tabuya is a holder of a public office as well as the sanctity of Parliament and her oaths (which her protector Rabuka stated).
*As a former Coalition Cabinet Minister and Parliamentarian, in her case PUBLIC interest supersedes any other INTEREST.

'If nothing should be done but what is according to law, the throat of the nation might be cut while we sent for someone to make the law.'
But all is not lost, for remember Section 131 (2) in the 2013 Constitution
PROTECTING THE CORRUPT: The FICAC Act 2007 is silent on the removal of its Commissioner because the Walter-Mitty lawyer Aiyaz Khaiyum had ensured that his FICAC Deputy Commissioner would do the bidding for him, and the President (FFP stooges) would go along with Aiyaz Khaiyum, supported by Frank Bainimarama.
*Today, the NFP leader, Ficac Fugitive and Fiji's Finance Minister BIMAN Prasad is shielded by another set of legal clowns through Malimali.
