Incredibly, none of the 12 cases referred by police to the ODPP arising from the Ashton-Lewis Commission of Inquiry into the Malimali affair are to be prosecuted. Yet it isn’t the end of the matter – far from it – as FICAC independently continues its pursuit of a number of cases involving prominent individuals.
Detailed analysis to come on a decision that continues to raise serious questions about the integrity of the criminal justice system.
I guess you have eggs on your face GD.
You guess wrong. Watch this space.
It’s the good people of Fiji who have egg on their faces, thanks to Rabuka and cronies. People such as Graham are trying to scrape the egg off.
Am I surprised? Not at all!
I predicted this in an earlier post.
There are those in Fiji who are seen by many, including me to be ‘protected species’ and to whom the laws don’t apply to.
Let us see what FICAC does with its cases.
Like I always say, this is iTaukei land and vulagi laws do no apply to iTaukei. They make their own laws as they go.
The same Laws Itaukeis makes puts you in Naboro to pick up sandsoap
Kaila..
Next, charges against baimaan, mandua, et.al. to be dropped.
Bitchi, where the coconuts are thicker than thieves.
I hope you are right GD as the hopes of clear justice in this country (Fiji) is fading.
No doubt the various diplomatic missions and NGOs are watching with interest. Fiji is really lucky China is such a regional threat else the aid tap would surely be turned off in the not too distant future.
Fatty fatty obese Nancy fancy sitting on files that were clearly filled with evidence provided by COI judge and refuses to act to save Saleshni temo for perjury (clearly with audio recording evidence), drink driving Baini bhalu (a messenger for saleshni Temo saying that no court will accept charges on baimanu). Next and new Govt please charge fatty fatty obese nancy fancy for abuse of office plij………RFMF Kalau, where art u? exercise s131 now, turaga.
It would appear that the evidence gathered and written down by the police investigation team that worked on providing the cases to be assessed, were not completed to the extent that they should have been as in the case of Temo, there was a recording of him admitting his crime, so what more evidence was required to put this before a judge and ask for an explanation?
So, either the police got it wrong or the files were doctored so that the perpetrators could be exonerated before having to stand in front of a Judge and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
This is so wrong and in any normal country ALL of those cases would have been put before a Judge.
There is no hope for this place, those in power ride roughshod over the people, the rule of law and any moral boundaries that are expected of everybody and more especially of elected officials.
Other countries that give handouts to Fiji need to wake up and stop supporting a corrupt government and an even more corrupt judiciary.
Cut them loose and hold off any freebies until there is a government that plays by the rules and operates as a democracy, with transparency.
Fiji is a lost cause and will remain that way until people realise that you can’t run a country this way.

While the Commission of Inquiries are often inquisitorial and political in nature, however, their fact based findings and evidence gathered and under oaths could potentially inform, trigger, or assist in formal criminal prosecutions or some other type of administrative civil justice (suspending their licence to practice, as an example). This is my understanding of the law regarding the CoI’s.
The Ashton-Lewis Inquiry had made some very serious allegations of misconduct or violations against very senior or high-level public office holders after an exhaustive fact sensitive and fact finding inquiry which requires a further more targeted investigations such as (malfeasance in public office or some other charges) against those named individuals and bring them to justice.
One just can’t whitewash those adverse findings of fact against the Chief Justice et al in the CoI’s Report and letting them get away with it, in my humble opinion.
If Badia Baiman escapes the noose it’s a travesty of justice.
He has a sordid record of dishonesty and sexual pervert.
He tried to to fix the wife of aspiring Japanese candidate for NFP. What a bastard of a leader.
The bloody creep took her photo in her own house without her permission during dinner, to which he was invited by the woman’s husband! Imagine that!
By Vimlesh and Nishi news group:
For over a decade, Biman Prasad has presented himself as a man of integrity — but the truth tells a different story.
He lied to the people of Fiji for the last 10 years about his asset declarations, raising serious questions about his honesty and transparency as a public official.
Then, as Minister for Finance, he increased VAT from 9% to 15%, raised import duties, and imposed new taxes that pushed the cost of living to record highs.
Families struggled, poverty grew worse, and the promised “relief” never came.
After two painful years, Biman tried to appear like a saviour by reducing VAT from 15% to 12.5%, but with other taxes and import duties still high — where’s the real benefit?
The fact remains: prices haven’t dropped. Fijians are still paying more for food, fuel, and essentials every day.
Adding to that, serious questions remain over his use of taxpayers’ money — including funding for Pacific Polytec, a then deregistered institution where his wife was reportedly a trustee.
To this day, there’s no clear accountability for the Girmit funds either, which were meant to honour Fiji’s history, not fund political /personal interests.
Biman Prasad’s credibility has been shattered. His actions have hurt the people and his party alike — and it’s clear that NFP will face the consequences come 2026.
Fijians deserve leaders who are honest, transparent, and truly care about easing the cost of living — not those who mislead and misuse the people’s trust.

Why are people shocked and surprised?
This is Rabuka and Co…the guy who single handedly f**ked up Fiji by looting the NBF. No one was ever held accountable-not even Rabuka.
Corruption, deceit and thievery is ingrained in this satanic man.
3 decades on nothing has changed. As long as such incompetent buffoons run this country and loot the nation under the guise of indigenous rights and playing the victim card, Fiji will never improve.
