RUBBER STAMP: The Public Service Commission is in turmoil, with Commissioners complaining that they are being forced to rubber stamp nominations from the three-legged Coalition parties.
*They were shocked when Parmesh Chand, PS for Civil Service, allegedly put his name forward for consideration as the next ambassador to Japan.
*The 'Vulagi' was really miffed, and felt humiliated, when he found out that he came last on the interview sheet.
*Meanwhile, ROBERT LEE, a Fijian-Chinese businessman who served in the Fiji embassy in Beijing, is likely to replace Manasa Tagicakibau as ambassador to China. He outperformed Ratu Inoke Kubuabola at the interview for Beijing. Kubuabola to remain in Wellington.
*Two of SODELPA's failed candidates SEMESA KARAVAKI and ANNA ROKOMOKOTI were also shoved on the PSC for diplomatic postings.
*Karavaki failed to make the cut and Rokomokoti is being earmarked for London, Washington or as Roving Ambassador-at-Large.
*According to sources in the PSC, there was concern that Karavaki, a staunch Seventh Day Adventist Church leader, would refuse to partake in any diplomatic functions and events if it fell on a Saturday.
*Rokomokoti, who was recalled from Fiji High Commission in New Delhi in controversial circumstances, is most likely to be posted to London, to replace Jitoko Tikolevu, who was relegated to third position in the interview table of candidates.
*Welcome, to OLD FIJI. And, don't forget the STINKING blackmail deal that failed candidate Ro Teimumu Kepa and SODELPA have negotiated for her to be the next PRESIDENT OF FIJI in 2024.
