“That’s a lie. I understand that the chair of the tender committee made a statement but it’s also a breach of the law. You cannot make those kind of allegations without any facts. Unfortunately, this one particular recording we received was in a remote rural area. Some people may not necessarily have access to information so there are people standing up there and campaigning and essentially telling lies.”
Aiyaz Khaiyum responding to Haroon Ali Shah

Fijileaks: In April 2022, the former FFP Health Minister Dr Neil Sharma appeared on the Australian based Sashi Singh's Talking Point.
*He was crying his heart out regarding the treatment he received at the hands of Aiyaz Khaiyum and that Ministers are “held on a tight leash”, afraid to openly make open-ended statements in public. Singh didn't raise the Fijileaks 'Health Scam' issue with Sharma that had made headlines on the ABC and FBC news, including Radio New Zealand International. As expected, the print media in Fiji did not touch the story. Since our founding in 2012, not a single story from us has been followed up by the Fiji Sun and the Prasad-Rabuka-Motibhai Fiji Times. After our exposure, Sharma was presented with two options: RESIGN or be marched to FICAC. He chose the first option.
His case involved the Gross Abuse of Government's Tender Process

"Dr. Neil Sharma’s action to collude and release confidential information to an unsuccessful bidder Mr. Vashu Devan is unwarranted, unprofessional, unethical and corrupt conduct. The dissemination of confidential evaluated tender document which had price analysis from all the bidders to an unsuccessful bidder and later award tender to the same company is corruption at its highest helm."

Dr Neil Sharma admits he revealed the tender bids to Vashu Devan which warrants criminal prosecution by FICAC but Khaiyum fears trial will expose how he vetted and approved Indo-Fijians as FFP candidates who now turn out to have 'skeletons' in their bags!

"Our preliminary investigations has found that Dr. Neil Sharma, Mr. Vashu Devan and Mr. Arveen Chandra have misled the Acting Prime Minister/ Prime Minister (Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum) and engaged in corrupt conduct in relation to their manipulation of tender process in order to ensure that the tender is awarded to Mr. Vashu Devan’s Company" -

Fijileaks: We have run scores of stories on abuse of the Tender Process

Attorney General and Minister responsible for Elections Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says every single dollar collected by a candidate or a political party must be accounted for however the National Federation Party says Sayed-Khaiyum has no right to talk about strict compliance to election fundraising laws by political parties and candidates because he is the General Secretary of FijiFirst.

Sayed-Khaiyum says it was brought to their attention where people who have been announced as provisional candidates are going out doing fundraising.

Sayed-Khaiyum says some people are saying this is okay however this is not and businesses are also not supposed to contribute to political parties.

In a statement, NFP President Pio Tikoduadua says Sayed-Khaiyum blatantly ignores the fact that as General Secretary of FijiFirst, he is responsible to ensure his party and candidates strictly comply with all laws.

Tikoduadua says Sayed-Khaiyum is behaving like the laws only apply to the Opposition and not FijiFirst.

He says the Attorney General may be the Minister responsible for Elections but he cannot enforce the laws.

Tikoduadua says they know how FijiFirst accumulated millions of dollars in donations leading up to the 2018 elections and their hand-picked fundraisers are in overdrive.

The NFP President says Sayed-Khaiyum lacks the credibility and political morality to tell others how to be accountable and transparent.

Sayed-Khaiyum also says certain political parties are announcing on Facebook about doing some things but they are not saying where they will get their funding from.

He says this is a breach of the Financial Management Act.

Sayed-Khaiyum adds says they have received recordings of some people campaigning and telling lies that Government is not calling for tenders.

He says this is a breach of the law and people cannot make such allegations without having facts.

Sayed-Khaiyum says they are looking at the legal avenues available to have some corrective measures put in place.
