I-Taukeization (what used to be condemned as the Fijianization) of all institutions, civil service, and government has already begun by Rabuka. As we had warned, his 'Jinnah' - Water Boy - is silent as Roasted Lamb

30/1/2023

IN THE SHADOWS: Biman Prasad is busy trying to find millions to enable the `Coupist Rabuka to complete the i-Taukeization started in 1987

*One of the most shocking is the appointment of the Labasa businessman Charan Jeat Singh as Minister for Multi-Ethnic Affairs when there is NOT even a Multi-Ethnic Affairs Ministry already in place.
We wonder if NFP had promised one in its MANIFESTO?

Just look at the recent appointment of the acting Chief Justice Salesi Temo, who has been selected over Justice Daniel Goundar.
PAP and its leader SITIVENI RABUKA have one eye on the next election in case the Coalition government collapses with its one seat majority. Hence, he is bringing back the GCC, strengthening Provincial Councils, invoking Christian GOD, planning to release George Speight and his accomplices, and will sacrifice NFP leader BIMAN PRASAD to win over the majority of i-Taukei votes, which he had failed to win in the recent election.
One of the most shocking is the appointment of the Labasa businessman Charan Jeet Singh as Minister for Multi-Ethnic Affairs when there is NOT even a Multi-Ethnic Affairs Ministry already in place.
Rabuka is too much in a hurry to revive the GCC, for he and his nationalist fanatics in PAP have calculated that their political survival depends on pandering and pampering to the i-Taukei population.
The Indo-Fijians and Other non i-Taukei races can go to hell.
We have always objected to a separate Ministry of i-Taukei Affairs and the creation of a separate Multi-Ethnic Affairs Ministry - for we have objected to the Compartmentalization of the races. At least, the FFP had attempted to break with the vicious division.
Sadly, two-man despots - Bai/Kai - ended up as DICTATORS.
From Fijileaks* Archive, 15 September 2015

The consultant who reviewed the Affirmative Action programme for the Fiji Human Rights Commission provided ample opportunity to the Prime Minister's Office to respond to various queries. The consultant's recommendations titled 'Report on Government's Affirmative Programmes 2020 Plan for Indigenous Fijians and Rotumans and the Blueprint - June 2006', which the Commission is yet to officially release (but which Victor Lal had revealed in the Fiji Sun), notes that 'the government had decided that rather than the Government submitting comments on the consultant's draft report to the Commission, the Commission should proceed to its publication and public release'.

If it is true, than the Prime Minister is clearly wrong to raise the concern that FHR report on the Blueprint is definitely biased as the Commission consultant did not approach him or his CEO to get the government's side of the story on the setting up of the program. He also expressed concern that the report was only prepared by one consultant who never spoke to anyone at the PM's Office.

Mr Qarase said he is now analyzing the report following comments by the Commission that it would take the government to court if it does not make immediate changes to the Affirmative Action Program. According to the report, the Government was provided with a number of opportunities to be heard during the investigation. It was advised of the intention to investigate and invited to provide information about all affirmative action programmes. In March 2005 the Office of the Prime Minister was advised that a number of government ministries, departments and agencies had not responded to requests for information, and the assistance of that office was sought in obtaining their cooperation - some departments subsequently responded, others did not;

That same month the CEO of the Prime Ministers Department, the report claims, advised that at a discussion of departmental Chief Executive Officers on 18th March 2005 it had been agreed that the Prime Minister's Office would reply on behalf of Government through its Chief Executive Officer, though no response was received.
Over two months later, on 23rd May 2005, the CEO of Prime Ministers Office sent a copy of the publication For the Good of All, which had been tabled in Parliament in 2004. Later, on 24 November 2005, the same CEO sent copies of a second report on the implementation of the affirmative action programmes under the Social Justice Act that had been tabled as Parliamentary Paper No 108 of 2005. The CEO also supplied the Commission with a copy of the Preliminary Analysis by the ADB of the 2002/2003 Household Income and Expenditure Surveys (September 2005) together with comments.

Despite these opportunities already given, the Commission claims, it provided the Government with a final opportunity to comment on the investigators report and the draft report was sent to the government with the request that a response be received by 23 March 2006. The government subsequently sought an extension of time, and the date for final response was amended to 1 May 2006.

On 19 May 2006, according to the report, the CEO of the Prime Minister's Department wrote to the Commission to advise that the government had decided that rather than the Government submitting comments on the consultant's draft report to the Commission, the Commission should proceed to its publication and public release.

In 2004 the Commission had instigated an 'own motion' investigation into the Government's affirmative action programmes under the Social Justice Act 2001, aspects of the Blueprint initiated by the Interim Government in July 2000 and adopted and continued by the SDL Coalition Government, and the Social Justice Act itself. When notified of the Commission's intention to undertake the investigation, the SDL Coalition Government had offered its cooperation, says the report.

The Commission's decision to instigate the own motion investigation was triggered by the number of complaints it received from different sources about the Affirmative Action law and policy as well as by the Commission's own concerns about the proposals of two different Governments to enact Social Justice legislation for Fiji.

The investigation examined whether each affirmative action and blueprint programme, the policy, and the law complied with the requirements for affirmative action in Chapter 5 (section 44) of the Constitution. Based on the consultant's research, the report concludes that overall, but with some exceptions, the affirmative action programmes put in place by Government under the Social Justice Act 2001 do not comply with the Constitution.
The Social Justice Act 2001 does not comply with the Constitution.

It continues as follows:

1) Affirmative action programmes based on ethnicity do not comply with the Social Justice provisions (Chapter 5, section 44) of the Constitution.

2) The programme as a whole lacks a proportional balance between any disadvantage intended to be addressed and the measures being taken to alleviate the disadvantage. Minor or even presumed but non-existent disparities between ethnic groups have been used to justify the complete exclusion of groups other than indigenous Fijians and Rotumans from the bulk of the programmes.

3) The programmes fail to make provision for all who are disadvantaged. This is particularly so in relation to women, who are far more disadvantaged than men. Individual programmes are weighed so disproportionately against Indians, women and other disadvantaged groups as to undermine the legality of all the programmes based on ethnicity.l No programme accurately links its goals to the disadvantage borne by the target group that it is intended to overcome.

4) Few programmes identify any performance indicators and those that do have no historical component. It is therefore not possible to monitor the effectiveness of the programmes without data that identifies trends before and after the programmes were initiated. There is no data that relates to whether alleged disparities between indigenous Fijians and Rotumans and Indians, for example, have reduced in the areas where affirmative action programmes have been introduced.

On the question whether Government has discharged its burden of establishing justification for the programmes, the report says that the Government's principal justification for its affirmative action programmes, that the rural sector is poorer than the urban sector and a majority of indigenous Fijians live in rural areas, is seriously flawed. In fact, the poorest households in rural areas are Indian.

The Government's other main justification (that the average income of indigenous Fijians is below that of Indians and Others and therefore all indigenous Fijians are disadvantaged and entitled to affirmative action) does not meet the legal standards imposed by the Constitution, the Human Rights Commission Act, and international law.

The programmes fail to justify the distinctions based on ethnicity on which most of the programmes are based. The Government has not established that 'the race-based affirmative action programmes meet the legal standards for these particular programmes'.

According to the report,

1) the programmes have not been established in response to a justifiable compelling Government interest;l the programmes are not narrowly tailored to remedy the past discrimination or present disadvantage that they purport to correct;

2) the programmes are not narrowly tailored to exclude from the indigenous Fijian group preferred, any members who are not, or are no longer disadvantaged, through means testing, or class-based and other appropriate measures;

3) the programmes are inflexible, without waiver provisions to narrow their scope;

4) criteria in relation to targets make no reference to those qualified group members in the relevant sector or industry;l there is no evidence that the Government has considered race-neutral alternatives;

5) although the programmes are temporary, the periodic review mechanisms are inadequate;

6) there is little or no consideration given to degree and type of burden, including on excluded groups, caused by the programme.

The report goes on to ask whether affirmative action law and programmes are lawful, and answers in the following:

1) Since the Affirmative Action programmes do not fulfil the requirements of the Social Justice Chapter in the Constitution, they are not protected by the exemption in section 44 (4).

Accordingly, to the extent that certain disadvantaged groups are excluded from the Affirmative Action programmes, they are being unfairly discriminated against in contravention of their rights contained in section 38 (2) of the Constitution.

* Since the Affirmative Action programmes do not fulfil the requirements of section 21 of the Human Rights Commission Act, they amount to unfair discrimination in breach of section 17 of the Act.

* Since the Affirmative Action Programmes do not fulfil the 'special measures' requirements contained in international human rights instruments such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD), they amount to a contravention of the rights contained in section 38 (2) of the Constitution.

* Since the Affirmative Action programmes are based on the Social Justice Act 2001, and the Social Justice Act itself breaches Chapter 5 of the Constitution, the programmes cannot be justified on grounds that they comply with the Act.It concludes by noting that the 50/50 by 2020 Development Plan, the Blueprint and the Social Justice Act 2001 have the combined effect of imposing large-scale discrimination against the minority ethnic groups, specifically on the disadvantaged categories within these groups, and more generally on other disadvantaged groups who have not been provided with affirmative action programmes to improve their conditions of life.

The affirmative action law, policies and programmes do not comply with the requirements of Chapter 5 of the Constitution.

HOUSE BREAKING, ENTRY AND LARCENY: LO Bainimarama REJECTS Rabuka's offer to provide a fellow COUPIST paid Government quarters. 'It is illegal to make such an offer in the first place...GO study current law'

30/1/2023

Fijileaks: We will reveal how the former Chief Justice Daniel Fatiaki, represented by Munro Leys and Howards Lawyers, cut a deal with the then Attorney-General Aiyaz Khaiyum, before a Tribunal appointed to hear allegations of misbehaviour against Fatiaki began, and how Fatiaki ran away to Vanuatu in a $275,000 'golden handshake', leaving other judicial victims like the late Solicitor-General Nainendra Nand and others to fight their own cases, when Fatiaki had urged them to stand firm with him after his sacking following the 5 December 2006 COUP

Fijileaks Editor-in-Chief: The former Chief Justice, the late Sir Timoci Tuivaqa's unpublished affidavit on us that denies Justice Daniel Fatiaki helped draft the Justice Decree 2000. But what is of interest is his revelation how Coupist Bainimarama had in his hand a copy of the Judiciary Decree which Sir Timoci recognised straight away as identical to Coupist Sitiveni Rabuka's 1987 Judicial Decree.

Leader of Opposition, Voreqe Bainimarama has written to Speaker of Parliament, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, refusing to accept the paid Government quarters as it is illegal to make such an offer in the first place. Bainimarama says the current law does not allow for such a benefit for the Leader of Opposition. He says neither the Prime Minister nor the Speaker of Parliament can unilaterally go outside the scope of the law. Bainimarama says that in this instance, parliamentary approval is required for any amendments to the existing benefits. Source: Fijivillage News

COALITION CHASING TAIL WIND: For 16 years, the Fijileaks Founding Editor-in Chief has been revealing the rot since the 5 December 2006 Coup. Today, he is subjected to vicious HATE for Not Endorsing Rabuka

30/1/2023

But we stand by our decision NOT to endorse the racist coupist and PAP leader SITIVENI RABUKA, for we hold him responsible for paving the way for what we are witnessing (and have been witnessing) since 2006.
We would have readily thrown our lot behind any Coalition to remove the FFP dictatorship but NOT as long as another Dictator was going to be re-elected as Prime Minister. A COUP IS A COUP.
All we can say to them: 'For Your Tomorrow, I Gave My Today'.*

CHASING THE TAIL WIND: The new FBC chairman Ajay Bhai Amrit is now confirming that reports are true regarding the purchase of a vehicle for the CEO that has cost the company nearly $200,000. Amrit says the vehicle is in Fiji and he would like to see it put to tender and see what they can recuperate and give the money back to FBC.
We revealed the purchase of the vehicle on 27 December 2022

RIYAZ Khaiyum reminds us of VISANTI MAKRAVA whom Coupist Rabuka appointed at point of a gun to lead the National Bank of Fiji. As Narsey pointed out, $400million was stolen from the bank, leading to Bankruptcy

RABUKA-REDDY'S FINANCE MINISTER: Wadan Narsey was slated as the Coalition's new Finance Minister if Rabuka had won the 1999 election

15 October 2017, reproduced by Fijileaks

Fijileaks: Why wasn't the FBC CEO Riyaz Khaiyum suspended and a travel ban placed against him, until full investigation was completed. Instead, we are getting headline grabbing soundbites from PAP founding member and now chair, FBC Board, AJAY BHAI AMRIT. Riyaz, just like Amrit and Makrava, are a long list of 'SONS OF THE GUNS'

"Rabuka had appointed Visanti Makrava in December 1987, at the point of a gun. Makrava entered the NBF headquarters in Suva with a group of soldiers saying he had been appointed by the Brigadier, as Rabuka was then. At the time Makrava was manager of the NBF's Samabula branch where the army did its banking...The other link Rabuka had with the bank was through his friend and former army commander, Paul Manueli, who had become NBF chairman in January 1988. He was to stay in that position until June 1992 when he left to become Rabuka's Minister of Finance...Makrava certainly did Rabuka no favours when he was reported to have said, "If I open my mouth, half the Government goes, including the leader."

They will, no doubt, be cheered on by the i-Taukei Christian fanatics and the HINDU saffrons (rabidly anti Indo-Fijian Muslims) now in control of Fiji. Its becoming PAYBACK TIME from PAP, NFP and SODELPA, setting in motion the likelihood of a military intervention from rogue elements at the RFMF, just like Coupist Rabuka did in 1987.
The MEDIA ACT will be abolished so the Coalition's before and after election ragsht, the Fiji Times, could continue its lop-sided 'Opinion Pieces' from NFP general secretary, and the paper's legal counsel from Munro Leys to brainwash the reading public.
We wonder when the Coalition government stated that it will review the Expatriates' contracts, if it was sending an indirect message to the JUDGES to be careful how they handle lawyer Richard Naidu's conviction and sentence, and the NFP leader BIMAN PRASAD, the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister's Judicial Appeal brought by his sacked provisional candidate Hiroshi Taniguchi's WIFE.
The new FBC Board Member and Suva lawyer HEMENDRA NAGIN is representing BIMAN PRASAD in the Judicial Review case now before the Fiji High Court.
The other two new FBC Board Members are failed PAP candidates,
Mereoni Duaibe and Cecil Browne.
We have never been a FAN of Riyaz Khaiyum but the speed with which the Coalition is yielding the 'Night of the Long Knives'* must concern the Fijian public (all races). Fiji has become a new ANIMAL FARM.
CRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY

The Fijian Broadcasting Corporation Board has decided to terminate FBC Chief Executive Riyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

In a statement, Board Chair Ajay Amrit says they have no confidence in the ability of the current CEO.

Amrit says Chief Finance Officer Vimlesh Sagar will act in this position until such time as the Board can confidently appoint a person with the appropriate commercial competency and attributes needed to lead this company.

He says the board has also been made aware that the CEO of FBC earns considerably more than government ministers and even the prime minister, which was a shock to the board, adding that it would be a shock to most of the citizens of this country.

He further stated that accountability and transparency have been brought up in Parliament many times over the past few years, and it saddens him to have to confirm reports are true regarding the purchase of a vehicle for the CEO that has cost the company nearly $200,000.

Amrit says his board and he consider it highly inappropriate, and this certainly is not the direction the new government and the new FBC board want to go in. He says this is extravagance at its greatest.

The statement says Amrit and the Board have had preliminary discussions with the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Professor Biman Prasad, and with the concurrence of Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, the government grant to FBC will be reviewed.

Amrit says the board will work with staff and management to ensure that FBC is a financially viable and self-sustaining commercial business while honouring its PSB responsibilities.

He confirms that an investigation has been called to look into the spending of the PSB fee or grant from the government to FBC, which since the current CEO took over in 2008 has now totalled a staggering $93,782,811.45 (93 million, 782 thousand, 811 dollars, and 45 cents).

He says the government will happily work with other media organizations to ensure that there is a positive change to the current media laws, which will allow our newsroom to function in a fresh, balanced, and new environment going forward.

Amrit has also acknowledged the work of the staff of FBC, adding that he assures all staff and senior management that it will be business as usual, but moving towards new goals and new opportunities.

He says the collective objective and commitment to the staff, shareholders, and valued listeners and viewers remains.

On Friday, the New FBC Board met with Sayed-Khaiyum and the Executive Directors from FBC. The meeting lasted seven hours.

ASHWIN RAJ's short-lived GOONDA RAJ as the Permanent Secretary for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation has been brought to an END by the Coalition. But was he LEGALLY removed despite his GNOMIC PAST?

28/1/2023

As Fijileaks led the media fight against the FFP DICTATORSHIP, and spoke out against the suppression of free speech, freedom of assembly, violation of human rights, exposed corruption and other gross violations, we never heard a pipsqueak from many now in the Coalition government or their supporters and hangers on - so we say just SHUT UP, and STOP LECTURING Fijileaks about COALITION GOVERNMENT. We will continue to hold government to account

The late civil rights leader Martin Luther King

In 2016, when Fijileaks was hacked and brought down by VATIS, including a former FFP Government Minister, an Indo-Fijian businessman, and a few other rogue elements, one of the many documents that they wiped out was the documents relating to the following allegations that we had made against Ashwin Raj that was leaked to us by our moles inside the S-G's Office. That is one reason we have shown no mercy or support for Sharma, the legal brain behind most of the draconian decrees imposed on Fiji:

Fijileaks: We have had a long running feud with Ashwin Raj as our search of the archives reveal and we were really shocked to learn that he had been appointed PS for WOMEN, Children and Poverty Alleviation (We had genuinely felt sorry for him many years bygone, when he had told us of his upbringing by a single mum, their lives mired in POVERTY). But what had turned him into the FFP's most vicious lap dog and hound dog?
He provided the TruthforFiji cartoonist some of the best materials.

Mataiciwa says she wants to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for her acting appointment and for choosing her for such a time as this to lead the organisation.
Fijileaks:* We are yet to establish if she can be appointed as Acting Election Supervisor under the 2013 Constitution but from her academic and legal records she cannot be appointed Election Supervisor until after 2026.
*Mohammed Saneem’s initial appointment in 2013 had been questioned by the Opposition parties as he did not meet the minimum qualifications required for the position, as advertised - 15 years.

The new Acting Supervisor of Elections Ana Mataiciwa says she will ensure during her tenure that the dignity and integrity of the Office is maintained.

Mataiciwa says she wants to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for her acting appointment and for choosing her for such a time as this to lead the organisation.

MUNRO LEYS LAWYERS TRADING CHAIRS AT COC: In 2015, RICHARD Naidu resigned from COC in protest at Sitiveni Qiliho's appointment as Acting Police Commissioner. Jon Apted agrees to suspend Qiliho in 2023

26/1/2023

Meanwhile, the COC must have Non-Politicians as Members: Richard Naidu's resignation letter to the President, 15 November 2015:

CONFLICT OF INTEREST: As we argued lately, JON APTED should NOT have agreed to be Coupist Rabuka's nominee on the COC, for he is representing high-profile clients in court cases against the former FFP government
We are increasingly wondering if pro-Coalition lawyers have captured Sitiveni Rabuka and with suspensions are indirectly threatening Sri Lankan judges to start ruling against FFP government decisions.
Also, whether Qiliho's SUSPENSION is designed to ensure that he is not around after Aiyaz Khaiyum's police interview is completed, so charges could be laid against Khaiyum, and sanctioned by the DPP.
Fiji is perilously lurching to new Animal Farm* under Sitiveni Rabuka

President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere has suspended the Commissioner of Police Sitiveni Qiliho and the Commissioner of the Fiji Corrections Service Francis Kean on the advice of the Constitutional Offices Commission.

According to a Government statement, the constitutional officers were suspended effective immediately pending investigations and referral to and appointment of a tribunal.

Ratu Wiliame has appointed Assistant Police Commissioner Juki Fong Chew as Acting Commissioner of Police whilst Assistant Commissioner Corporate of the Fiji Corrections Service, Salote Panapasa has been appointed Acting Commissioner Fiji Corrections Service.

The advice was resolved in the COC meeting held yesterday and conveyed to the President by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka as Chairperson.

The relevant officers have been notified of their appointments and suspensions respectively. Fijiivllage News.

From Fijileaks Archive, 15 November 2015

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has confirmed that Leader of the Opposition Voreqe Bainimarama and his nominee, Tupou Draunidalo, stomped out of today’s Constitutional Offices Commission meeting.

He says the duo may not have agreed to some of the issues outlined in today’s agenda.

Rabuka says he is not concerned about Bainimarama and Draunidalo’s behaviour because that is their right.

“They didn’t say that they were walking out, they didn’t want to participate further in the discussions. It is a right that people exercise when they are in a meeting or commissions, they can exercise that.”
Rabuka has also confirmed the case against the Commissioner of Police, Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho, and Fiji Corrections Service Commissioner, Francis Kean, was discussed. Source: FBC News
