The MALANI FAMILY and their hysterical supporters can continue with their relentless FACEBOOK war. Many of the postings contain ludicrous allegations about who else was allegedly involved with him. In calling for Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum to step down, our Founding Editor-in-Chief is using the same 'rule book' when, in 2008, he had called on MAHENDRA CHAUDHRY to step down so Police could conduct a free and fair investigation into his tax matters. Although he was Interim Minister of Finance and line manager of FRCA, just like Khaiyum is to Police and DPP, Mahendra Chaudhry REFUSED to step down. Our Founding Editor-in-Chief had a year earlier, in August 2007, provided all the documentary evidence from Chaudhry's own 148 page Tax File that had been leaked to him, to Frank Bainimarama, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum, and FICAC. Instead, Chaudhry, Khaiyum, and Bainimarama went on the offensive, attacking our Founding Editor-in-Chief. A year later, our Founding Editor-in-Chief went PUBLIC resulting in the abduction and deportation of Fiji Sun publisher RUSSELL HUNTER out of Fiji. We cannot allow history to repeat itself. No One Is Above The LAW. POWER BROKEN: In the end, Chaudhry was convicted over his tax matters. But the Interim Government had tried to fob off every effort to force Chaudhry to step down.
WE REPEAT: STEP DOWN, AIYAZ SAYED KHAIYUM. Your staying as Attorney-General, Minister for Justice, Minister for Economy (and one hundred other portfolios) is also exposing Fiji to internal and external threats from foreign governments, criminal syndicates, drug runners, large corporations for Government favours and contracts, and tarnishing the 2006 Miliatry Coup Campaign: To Clean Up Fiji
The former Finance Minister, and Fiji’s ambassador to China, Sir Jim Ah Koy, had called upon Chaudhry to stand aside or resign to allow for investigation into the tax evasion claims. And Sir James had added: “There are many people around who can do the Finance Minister’s job. He should stand aside or resign. That is what one would expect from a Cabinet minister in a Westminster model of government...I joined the interim Government because they were going to clean up all the corruption. But, it’s getting difficult now. It’s time to Speak Up.”
