In other news, the perennial grin has been wiped off Manoa Kamikamica‘s face and his political career is in tatters as his perjury trial gets the green light and other charges are pending.
It is also a disaster for the likes of Biman Prasad, Barbara Malimali/Tanya Waqanika and Charlie Charters as a High Court judge rules that contrary to the arguments in their respective cases, Lavi Rokoika‘s appointment as FICAC Commissioner is lawful.
Poor Baimaan. His own rendezvous with destiny beckons.

Finally, a note from our new gatekeepers:
Dear Grubsheet,
I refer to your scandalous juxtaposition of the “breaking news” alleging that a politician has tested positive for drugs and the image of the Honourable Minister for Information, Environment and Climate Change.
Even if it is true that she is the politician being referred to and has tested positive for drugs, this is clearly harmful to her reputation and we require you to remove it forthwith.
Yours faithfully,
Colonel Mal Information

Oh, the irony if the alleged positive drug test were to be from the champion of testing of politicians!
As for the former deputy PM’s their day of reckoning moves closer with both seeing their political careers evaporating.
The NFP leader is now a leader in name only and the party needs to move or be consigned to oblivion at the next election. In the case of Manoa Kamikamica his chances of replacing Rabuka as PM are zero and the PAP would do well to dump him.
Is an early election a possibility?
Or no election at all? That is the other strong rumour in Suva amid the Prime Minister floating the possibility of a state of emergency.
Seems no election as Rabuka is unwell as it’s reported from many on ground sources. Maybe he needs to retire & spend his last good years with family and friends and take a step back.
Give it another 24 ~ 48 hours and Forwood will publish it everywhere.
There’s been scandal after scandal. For my money, the one that remains the apex scandal is the tax holiday.
