Yes, Aunty Bano had gone right to the Top of RBF and authorizing payments to who...and why? How darn irregular is that..? And why is aunt Bano not responding to legitimate questions by Fiji Leaks..?

All these aunties, (Bano) and nephews (Saneen) and all these cronies 'Khans' (too many to name) of the rotten 'Minister of Everything in Fiji' , CHOR Aiyaz, have been collectively robbing Fiji - dry - like there is no tomorrow .

We have to tell this CHOR Aiyaz , on his face, to stop this CHORI - and NOW !

Maybe it is time for HOPE to grill aunty Bano, now, for some urgent answers.

1.3 million iin Fiji s peanuts compared to the 1.5 billion that Gayoom laundered but the set up and process of how it's implemented is frighteningly similar to what the corrupt govt is embarking on in Fiji.

There's very little doubt that if Khaiyum and Bai has access to people willing to move huge amounts of money they will be happy to sell their mothers in order to get a small cut. Here is a clear example of what corrupt officials and govt are capable of doing at the expense of the public and country.

This practise is happening at various level within the corrupt regime in Fiji. Unimaginable corrupt practices throughout the system, that it is now almost main stream to pay off official just to perform their regular paid roles. When those in power are corrupt it becomes an acceptable practise where only the ordinary citizens suffer by paying more and getting less.

Aliza Pacific and the Reserve Bank should front up to explain the transaction above. But I doubt that they ever will. As usual these individuals believe that they are above the law and see no reason to justify their dodgy business dealings.

Thanks to Aljazeera and Fijileaks editor for smoking these rats out.
