While Frank Bainimarama and Timoci Natuva are preaching to the public from inside Fiji's new Parliament, businessman Feroz Jan Mohammed and two former workers of the then Department of National Roads Iliesa Turagacati and Navitalai Tamanitoakula, are charged with bribery, obtaining a financial advantage and abuse of office.

The charge alleges between February 27 and July 2012, Mohammed, a director of TF Jan Bulldozing Company Limited, offered payments amounting to $93,000 to Turagacati, who was a public servant employed as an acting project accountant in the then Department of National Roads. It is also alleged in that same period,  Mohammed and his company obtained a financial advantage amounting to $3,132,773.77 by receiving money the company was not entitled to, upon submitting false invoices and circumventing the proper procedures concerning the processing of payments with the influence of Turagacati.

According to the charges, the payments were made from the funds allocated for upgrading the Nausori Highland road. The third accused in this matter, Tamanitoakula, is charged with abuse of office. He is alleged to have processed payments amounting to $2,468,169.86 paid to TFJan Bulldozing Company Limited without following proper procedures.

TF Jan Bulldozing Company Ltd is that a subsidiary of A Jan Construction of Ba? If it is then I am not surprised by the wheeling and dealing of this company. It has a history of doing that right from Ratu Mara and Alliance Party time. So what has changed with Bainimarama and Fiji First in power? It's business as usual - ek haath se dho aur ek kona haath se lo!
