# COULD THESE TWO PERCHANCE BE RELATED, FIJI? YOU BET.

Posted on August 5, 2025 6 Comments

So why is the new FICAC Commissioner, Lavi Rokoika, pursuing the DPP, Christopher Pryde, over trumped-up charges of expenses fraud but not investigating the source of the Prime Minister’s $150,000 gold Rolex watch?

Sitiveni Rabuka says he reserves the right to remain silent about where his Rolex came from. Was it a bribe? A reward for services rendered? Why is his kai vata – the supposed corruption watchdog – failing to even ask the question?

Something for the New Zealand government to consider as Lavi Rokoika asks it to extradite Christopher Pryde when he has already been exonerated of wrongdoing by three High Court judges.

The corruption in the Judiciary, the Presidency, the Executive and the ODPP has now extended to FICAC. Er, make that “continues at FICAC”. Because it was already crooked under Barbara Malimali.

Lavi Rokoika was sold to the Fijian people as a worthy replacement for Barbara Malimali. Oh really? Dear, here’s a question from “old man” Grubsheet:

Ask your relative where the f**k he got that gold Rolex and what did he have to do in return for it? Or any incoming government is eventually going to hold you to account in the same way as this one has done with Bad Barbie.

    Lavi did not make the cut for the interview! Now she is the Commissioner?

      That was exactly the criteria-be the least qualified. The least qualified person must be itaukei and kilavata to have the top jobs. How many vakalabure vuvale are now employed by Sona Rolex?

    Oh boy, I feel so embarrassed for this bunch of clowns. I marvel at their stupidity to even comprehend an extradition.

    There are safeguards in place to prevent this from happening. The extradition process is governed by treaties and laws that require a high threshold of evidence and consideration of human rights. A key factor is the principle of dual criminality, meaning the alleged offense must be a crime in both New Zealand and Fiji.
    NZ will consider that CP has been exonerated.

    The perplexing part is that Temo and company believe they can convince NZ of the recycled allegations against CP that CP has already been exonerated for. This is where Dual Criminality will fail.

    This is palpable nonsense, a stain on the legal fraternity. And the rational among the rotten in the legal fraternity should band together as a distinctive measure. Lest ye be judged the same.

    At least this is the stuff of wet dreams for Charlie Charters.

    This new sasa broom can’t even sweep well. It seems that she is trying very hard to impress and divert attention from other serious matters at hand. Does she and others think that NZ will just put Pryde on the next flight to Fiji? Seriously funny.

    Lavenia Rokoika Vakalalabure the Acting Commissioner of FICAC is married to Tevita Vakalalabure who is a very close relative of both Sitiveni Rabuka and Naiqama Lalabalavu!

    Mrs Vakalalabures husband is the brother of the uneducated and corrupt Executive Chair of Fiji Sports Council Gilbert Vakalalabure.

    Gilbert Vakalalabure is the father of Rakuita Vakalalabure the Assistant Minister in the PAP Coalition Government.

    Gilbert’s other brother is the Executive Chair of the Fiji Tropik Pune!

    It’s a shit show! The Vakalalabure’s are the main campaigners for Rabuka!

    They are from Vanua Levu!

About Grubsheet

Graham Davis
Grubsheet Feejee is the blogsite of Graham Davis, an award-winning journalist turned communications consultant who was the Fijian Government’s principal communications advisor for six years from 2012 to 2018 and continued to work on Fiji’s global climate and oceans campaign up until the end of the decade.

 

Fiji-born to missionary parents and a dual Fijian-Australian national, Graham spent four decades in the international media before returning to Fiji to work full time in 2012. He reported from many parts of the world for the BBC, ABC, SBS, the Nine and Seven Networks and Sky News and wrote for a range of newspapers and magazines in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

 

Graham launched Grubsheet Feejee in 2011 and suspended writing for it after the Fijian election of 2014, by which time he was working at the heart of government. But the website continued to attract hits as a background resource on events in Fiji in the transition back to parliamentary democracy.

 

Grubsheet relaunches in 2020 at one of the most critical times in Fijian history, with the nation reeling from the Covid-19 crisis and Frank Bainimarama’s government shouldering the twin burdens of incumbency and economic disintegration.

 

Grubsheet’s sole agenda is the national interest; the strengthening of Fiji’s ties with the democracies; upholding equal rights for all citizens; government that is genuinely transparent and free of corruption and nepotism; and upholding Fiji’s service to the world in climate and oceans advocacy and UN Peacekeeping.
