The DPP is applying for a judicial review of the decision by the President, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, to suspend his salary, becoming the second officer of state after Barbara Malimali to resort to the courts in a move that again calls into question the legality of the government’s conduct.
Christopher Pryde is also suing the Fiji Sun newspaper for failing to correct its misreporting that he has continually refused to explain his absence from Fiji when he has done so in two formal media statements that were specifically sent to the Sun.
Grubsheet understands that the DPP has given an explosive interview to Radio New Zealand detailing the precise history of the prolonged attempt by the State to terminate him and we will bring you that interview when it becomes available.
In the meantime, here are our own recent articles – including one by Victor Lal – on the two issues in question – first what Christopher Pryde is casting as the unlawful conduct against him by the President.
Plus the grounds for his decision to launch defamation proceedings against the Fiji Sun.
Yes, and Christopher Pryde joins others who are taking this shambolic Government to task.
The President, PM and CJ have all moved into a world of make-believe! They make decisions that are clearly wrong and then try to convince us to believe they know what they are doing.
At the same time, they are trying to convince us that taking the country back to the 1990’s with the 1997 Constitution will be better for Fiji? What a load of BS!
Barbara Malimali case will no doubt be interesting as the Government try to somehow argue that the decision to sack her was procedurally correct, when it clearly is not!
CP needs to hire Barbwires lawyer Tanya to represent him.
That’s if CP can afford Tanya as Barbie is part of a package deal.
The bull frog has inside track on how the Fijian judiciary works.
I got popcorn ready for this amazing showdown. It would be the best show in town 🤼♀️
Cellar also stocked if and when needed.
I felt sorry for CP and had suggested that he should have taken his back-pay and kiss goodbye. Because the big “chiefs” were in a hurry to get rid of him. But he fought fought his case from NZ without attending the Tribunal and was able to clear his name and discredited those big “chiefs”, despite all the made-up concocted evidence against him by them.
A big credit to CP. But, from then onwards, he has become a “marked” man in the ethno-nationalist racist Fiji. There was no way he would have been welcomed back.
After being cleared of all charges by a three member Tribunal he decided not to return due to personal reasons but continued to receive his salary until it was suspended recently for the second time. This time around, sadly, the allegations against him are different and potentially more serious because extradition proceedings has begun.
My suggestion to him is to negotiate a severance package because frankly I can’t see him clearing his name when all the cards are stacked against his return!
Dou kauta laivi yani na veresitedi vasisila qori,sly and cunning man ,he belongs in prison with rabuka,peodophlpile,vaqasena na gone lailai tamata vasisila,you will pay for what you did to that young girl naiqama
They will all parade in the mornings with their night bucket on hand at Naboro.
This the reality that’s happening and going to happen.
I went to the courts house other day and saw former PC in handcuffs with bright yellow tie.
This is the same person who slapped late Mr Brij Lal and spat on his face ,breaking his eye glasses.
I said to myself, how tides can change and justice is haunting.
From lawmaker to a prisoner.
Another couple of years will add to his current sentence.
If you’re reading this article and planning to go to Fiji and work as an expatriate, you need to reconsider your options.
1/ The corrupt apes holding power in Fiji will leave you without a leg to stand on when they suddenly take away all your salary without warning, despite all the legal contracts you may have signed. You will never see a cent of your hard-earned money.
2/ Corruption in Fiji is rife, and you will spend a lot of money greasing palms so think before committing to anything there. From the police officer who stops you on false charges of speeding to the people higher up in government (MK has set a benchmark for this), you will need to be ready to shell out your money to get things done. Corruption in Fiji is a way of life and an accepted trading mechanism.
3/ HIV is rampant in Fiji so any expatriate going as a lone-ranger and looking for that occasional someone to get them through the humid tropical nights needs to understand their d*ck will fall off at some point, because they will catch it eventually given the lack of testing and control. Even if you aren’t the sort of bloke who engages in this stuff, you will get it by accidentally standing on a stray needle lying around everywhere in Fiji which takes us to item 4.
4/ Hard drugs such as meth and cocaine are heavily in use throughout the country so you should not be surprised if your drinks are spiked in the local watering holes or you stumble onto a used needle and catch something you have to live with forever.
5/ Racism. You are not a Fijian/i-Taukei. No matter how much money you spend to try and help the Fijians to improve their lives or move forward to a better future, you will never be accepted fully. In the background, you are still just a vulagi and you are an outsider. Your money will be accepted readily, but you will be thrown out once you are no longer useful. You will be subjected to racism openly and very brutally. You will be expected to accept the racial prejudices and any opposition to it will either see you deported or something worse.
6/ Rape, murder and assault are a common thing in Fiji. The recent statistics show that these acts of violence have increased tenfold for a country of Fiji’s size since the Rabuka government came to power. If any one of your loved ones are subjected to sexual assaults of any kind, it will be the victims fault, according to the Chief Justice, who is on record stating that the woman is at fault when she is raped because she is dressed provocatively.
Using the six pillars of hell I’ve just listed above, anyone can see that Fiji is definitely not the way the world should be. Ever. Instead, it is a country which needs to be given a wide berth by any expatriate looking to help Pacific communities or locals.
You should not be expecting the police to assist you with anything adverse that happens to you there and know that you are going to a country where you life is not worth all the bling you are promised.
Traitor, Biman Prasad is behind the police ban on the Hindu peace gathering. He is also working against Christopher Pryde from behind-the-scenes. Biman is a bigger snake than Rabuka.
Nai Nai Nai Bharchod,
Seqa.
Coalition government is controlled by outside of Parliament.
All of them are puppets.
Who is to be charged or who is going to be appointed and who is going to say this or do this ,is all controlled from outside.
Remember, ASK was the master and with aid of few, he controlled everything.
Bai and the rest were all puppets.
Bai would have more knowledge of an IPad than anyone else of his age.
So don’t just sy Biman or Rambo .
Saab puppets .
360 degrees spinning.
Totally agree.
It’s the elite businessmen, that control the politics in Fiji. You will reason that in every big or small decisions.
