*WARID is already chair of the Public Trustee Board. So, they're looking for somebody to take the CEO position full time. Knowing how corrupt Fiji functions, they're not going to find someone and she's going to keep getting an extension. The CEO of Public Trustee gets $100,000 in salary
*Warid had posted a racist statement online where she described Indo-Fijians as “Visitors - Vulagis” who “were not going back anytime soon” and she also claimed in the same statement that indigenous Fijians were being marginalized. |  |

"I stand here today on the shoulders of those who have gone before me. Those that sacrificed and worked hard so that you and I could have better lives so that we could be better people and achieve greater things. My grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and many others have built the foundation that I stand on today."
PAP Candidate Liliana Pareti Warid's Acceptance Speech
Fijileaks: Our Founding Editor-in-Chief, who knew her late grandfather JONATI MAVOA from the Alliance Party days (he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, Civil Aviation and Tourism; died in June 1985), and her uncle, the late ERONI MAVOA (her mother Olivia and Eroni are the daughter and son of Jonati Mavoa), was surprised to hear Liliana Pareti Warid wax lyrical about her party leader Sitiveni Rabuka in her acceptance speech.
* Sadly, only four years ago, he tried to fleece thousands of dollars from her uncle's widow, EMMALINE BIU MAVOA, claiming that she must be held responsible for paying as executor of her late husband's estate the outstanding loan. As expected, the Fiji High Court threw out his claim.
* Rabuka, in cross-examination agreed that Emmaline Biu Mavoa was neither involved in the transaction nor personally responsible for the debts of Eroni Mavoa. The Fiji High Court ruled the claim against her was misconceived and was declined.
*All the time, Rabuka was pleading poverty, claiming he was collecting and selling bottles to make a living.
Opposition Leader Inia Seruiratu has voiced allegations against the Coalition government claiming that recent appointments across all levels of governance are heavily politicized.
According to Seruiratu, the government is accused of favoring fellow coalition party members for key positions bypassing established processes and procedures.
Seruiratu contends that the Coalition government in its bid to ensure political survival has been appointing political allies to top positions including Board members, Special Administrators and District Advisory Council members.
He criticizes Ministers for allegedly absorbing their political cronies into various ministries without adhering to Civil Service processes.
The Opposition Leader highlights the apparent politicization in the highest ranks of the Civil Service, Public Enterprise Boards and Diplomatic appointments.
He claims that these appointments involving party supporters, sympathizers, financiers and unsuccessful election candidates are conspicuous and indicative of the government’s attempt to exert control over governance structures.
Seruiratu expresses concern over the potential repercussions of these alleged actions.
He argues that such appointments discriminate against qualified individuals who lack political backing.
He predicts adverse effects on service delivery, institutional strength and anticipates an increase in brain drain as trust in existing systems and processes erodes.
