SOUND THE GAVEL ALOUD: Its time to suspend the Chief Justice Kamal Kumar, set up an Inquiry to examine how he was appointed CJ, and ask him to EXPLAIN why he 'prevented' over 100,000 women from VOTING

ELECTION HAS COME AND GONE: On 17 November 2022, seven Fijian women of all races had filed a constitutional redress case to challenge the legality of the new legislation requiring women to change their names to their married names in their birth certificates if they wished to vote in their married names under which they were already registered to vote, or to otherwise use their married names for legal purposes. Given the urgency of the case, and fundamental constitutional and democratic right to VOTE, Kumar should have made the case a priority, and delivered a speedy judgment, like he had done in the past for his FFP buddy PARVEEN BALA on whether Bala could contest the 2014 election. Of course, as expected, he had ruled in Bala's favour, and against the Fiji Electoral Commission. In the current constitutional case, he wrapped himself in the judicial sari and did sweet b*****all.
*We are not surprised that now ten women have written a letter of complaint to Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and Attorney-General Siromi Turaqa against Kumar. They are: 
Shamima Ali, Judy Compain, Elizabeth Fong, Bernadette Ganilau, Patricia Imrana Jalal, Seni Nabou, Nalini Singh, Shiromani Priscilla Singh, Salote Qalo and Makereta Waqavonono.
*The women in the complaint letter have made allegations of delayed justice and indirect sex and gender discrimination, and are calling for an inquiry into the Chief Justice's alleged incompetence, unjudicial, and unbecoming conduct.

LOOKING back at our Fijileaks archives, we have run scores of articles against Chief Justice KAMAL KUMAR, arguing he was incompetent, his judgments could be called into question, in some cases even flawed, and that he is a FFP appointed lackey Judge, and is notoriously slow in delivering urgent judgments because he is allegedly NOT fit to write judgments on his own accord without assistance from outside the Judicial Chambers.
We publish the full letter below:
