It has taken barely a day for the Prime Minister to be humiliated over his refusal to insist that Barbara MalImali stand aside as FICAC Commissioner while an official inquiry examines what Sitiveni Rabuka himself has described as the “rottenness” surrounding her appointment.
One of Barbara Malimali’s first acts has been to terminate the FICAC investigation into her friend, Lynda Tabuya, on the basis that spousal information in her asset declarations referred to FICAC by the Elections Office is irrelevant because she has been divorced since 2016.
It is a BIG LIE and here is the proof – a declaration by Lynda Tabuya signed on February 14, 2023 listing her spouse as Rob Semaan – the multi-millionaire co-owner of Fiji’s biggest construction firm, Pacific Building Solutions, and Tabuya’s long-time husband.
So let’s get this straight, Fiji. While there is a suggestion that Lynda and Rob might have obtained a divorce in 2012 to shield her from their $F100 million in business debts in the US, she officially lists him as her spouse and refers to him as her husband, including in her maiden speech in the current parliament.
Every dictionary definition describes a “husband” as a married man. Did they remarry after 2012? Or is it after 2016? It is neither here nor there if they are living together as man and wife and she declares him as her “spouse” to the Elections Office. And we have yet to see any proof of FICAC’s contention that Lynda Tabuya has been divorced since 2016.
So either Lynda Tabuya is lying now to enable Barbara Malimali to clear her name at FICAC or she made a false declaration back in February that she was married (“spouse”) when she was still deputy leader of the PAP before she was removed for her drug-taking and illicit extra-marital sex with Aseri Radrodro in Room 233.
Either way, the Minister for Women and Children and the Commissioner of FICAC have been exposed as mendacious and corrupt. And if the Prime Minister has any integrity at all, he must insist as a matter of urgency that both women stand aside until this whole sorry saga has been properly examined.
The full explosive document below but first the FICAC announcement:
And then just one of the media reports this morning that Lynda Tabuya has been cleared.
But read the following for yourself, Fiji.
The happy couple. “Divorced in 2012”? “Divorced in 2016?” They are certainly together now. And it is time for the authorities to go through their collective assets with a fine-tooth comb.
It beggars belief that Barbara Malimali – as FICAC Commissioner – took it upon herself to “clear” Lynda Tabuya in the first place.
Once the Prime Minister has signalled that there was to be an official inquiry into her appointment, all FICAC investigations into government ministers should have been put on hold. Instead, Malimali thumbed her nose at all convention and made the decision to clear her friend.
And there is no question that Lynda Tabuya and Barbara Malimali are extremely close.
This is what Lynda Tabuya said in her maiden speech in 2018:
And here they are in an intimate photo with Filimoni Vosarogo published on Fijileaks:
Part of Francis Puleiwai’s investigation into Barbara Malimali for alleged abuse of office as Electoral Commission Chair (before it was derailed and Malimali was installed as FICAC Commissioner )related to her representations on Lynda Tabuya’s behalf with the Supervisor of Elections.
These two are not only taking the proverbial Mickey out of the Prime Minister, they are taking the Mickey out of us. And this entire sorry pantomime has gone on long enough.
The Commissioner is totally compromised and unfit to hold the position as head of the nation’s corruption watchdog. And she must be removed and face charges herself.
This is a breaking story and Grubsheet will have more in the coming hours. But it is simply gobsmacking how far public standards of propriety have fallen under this government. And the buck stops with Sitiveni Rabuka.

POSTSCRIPT:
The most married-looking “divorced” couple in Fiji. They honestly think we are all stupid.
And finally, Fiji, let’s remind ourselves of the document signed by the Prime Minister himself that every single Fijian mainstream media outlet has ignored sacking Lynda Tabuya as deputy leader of the PAP for bringing the party into disrepute with her “sex and illicit drug scandal” in Room 233.
Anywhere else in the world, she would be driven from politics altogether. In Fiji, she gets to stay in the cabinet as Minister for Women and Children.
UPDATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON:
Well after all that, Fiji, the Prime Minister doubles down and Barbara Malimali will stay as Commissioner of FICAC. After clearing Lynda Tabuya, what next?
What’s the bet it means clearing the other Coalition ministers being investigated by FICAC?
That’s what she’s there for. Our “independent” corruption watchdog taken out the back and shot.
They might think they’re fooling us, but, they sure as hell aren’t getting anything past you, Mr D.
Keep keeping these bastards in check!
The so called senior lawyers in Fiji who are supposed to lead by example and set the standards are the very ones who are bringing disrepute to the profession. Forget about quality and competence, they lack the core value – INTEGRITY.
Just look at the likes of Richard Naidu, Mele Rakai, Ritesh Naidu, Wylie Clarke, Lynda Tabuya, Filimoni Vosarogo, Barbara Malimali, Siromi Turaga, Ropate Green, Laurel Vaurasi, John Rabuku, Seremaia Waqainabete, Chief Registrar, Acting Chief Justice, Graham Leung…and the list goes on.
There is no need to give examples of their conduct because they have all demonstrated their failures when faced with moral and ethical dilemma.
It goes to show that with great power, these so called leaders do not fulfill their responsibilities. It also confirms that a law degree does not necessarily equate to having common sense, competence, integrity, credibility, and courage to do what is right.
It makes one wonder how do they go home to their families, their children, preach honesty and love, and do the opposite.
No doubt the tide and time currently favors these lot.
That one day will surely come when fate will have other plans for them.
Barbara Malimali’s troubles started when in her arrogance, drunk on power as the Chair of the Electoral Commission, she sent that letter linking her to her friend Lynda where she demand Elections Supervisor Ana Mataiciwa to explain why Lynda Tabuya’s complaint wasn’t tabled to the Electoral Commission.
Now barely a day after the declaration for the Commission of Inquiry made by the PM, Lynda is cleared. It beggars belief that Barbara turns up and sits in Parliament- and meets with the PM, without the PM being directly in knowledge of Tabuya’s clearance by FICAC.
The question is – How can Tabuya make a declaration around late 2022 just a few months before national elections, then 2 months after they get sworn into govt on Christmas Eve of 2022, in February 2023, as Deputy Party Leader of PAP in declaring her assets which is necessary as an Office Bearer for the Party, she pens Rob S as her spouse.
In any event- how can FICAC blatantly disregard the fact the the two even if there is a divorce paper presented, still live together and appear together as a couple in public eye! Make declarations of love for each other and confirm that they are very much a couple! Under Fijian Laws- they will be a defacto relationship if this is correct that they had at some stage divorced!
The Elections Office must do justice to Fiji and in such cases, dig further not to allow our nation to be made a mockery where such unscrupulous activities can easily be done by people in order to get away from declaring their proper assets.
The fish stinks from the top. Thank you Mr Davis for your hard work to expose the rot that gets worse by the day in a Fiji that’s no longer peaceful to live in.
It seems like FICAC has been given an imaginary persona by our politicians and media…”FICAC” says that there has been no interference. “FICAC” says Lynda does not have to declare her spousal income. It’s not Malimali, it’s FICAC!
Tabuya is just the beginning. Rabuka and his cronies are putting up a smoke screen demanding this inquiry and that inquiry. But the stooge is at work. Next will be Biman, and like dominoes, all the other ministers will have their files destroyed and then Mali2 will be moved on. The sad part in all this is that the people of Fiji are being taken as suckers. God help us as we navigate the coming onslaught on our whole democratic system.
Personally, I was aware that she divorced her husband, and it was rumoured that the divorce was calculated to enable her to enter political life in Fiji, as she was appearing on her married name Lynda Semaan in the court documents in the US; that if the husband was convicted that it would also affect her and she may be convicted as co-conspirator or partner in crime, which might have meant she would not be able to stand in politics in Fiji.Perhaps she thought that reverting to her maiden name Tabuya may help in removing the stigma of what she and her husband were involved with in the US. This was the collapse of their weight reduction business, leaving behind debts of more than $US50-million.
In her 2018 maiden speech to Parliament she refers to Robert Semaan as – the father of her children – ” I wish to acknowledge firstly the father of my children, Rob Semaan, and my six children, Mercedes Yaulagilaginimereke Semaan, Talei Matiavi Semaan, Zion Ravouvouenayasanaruarua Semaan, Vienna Tabuya Semaan, Ameera Habibti Semaan and Justice Joni Robert Peter Semaan, who the greatest examples of true love.”
Barbara Malimali should have declared her own conflict of interest issues concerning Lynda Tabuya as its well known that she and LT are very close friends, which is confirmed by this statement of appreciation in her 2018 maiden speech – ” To my think tank, Barbara Malimali, Fili Vosarogo, Vuli Savou, Samm Vaniqi and Rosemary Drau, thank you for keeping it real.”
Go to this link for the full maiden 2018 LT speech – https://www.fijitimes.com.fj/maiden-speech-by-the-opposition-whip-lynda-tabuya/
However, since then, it was noted through her fb posts as well as public appearances that LT and Robert Semaan were presenting themselves as a family unit and a married couple with LT herself referring to him as her husband, In her 2023 maiden speech in Parliament she referred to him as my husband as she thanks him – ” I wish to thank all those who showed their support and love all this while. My husband Rob Semaan,…” ( see screenshot below, followed by full speech). I note that Fiji Leaks has just published her 2023 Statutory Declaration in which she names Robert Semaan as her spouse. After the investigation and she was removed as DPL of PA, I was told that LT and her husband live an open marriage.
My own conclusion is that the divorce is a strategy that she and Robert Semaan use to cynically manipulate the law for their own interest. No surprises there as they have become skilled at living a lie with ease.A source says that Malimali got it wrong, that the divorce did not occur in 2016, probably earlier on.
Barbara Malimali, given the supposed independence of FICAC, should have declared her conflict of interest in relation to Lynda Tabuya. Rabuka is weak and spineless, and fumbles his way around making it up as he goes along, and the only standard that he upholds is his self preservation and those of his cronies.
Having read the FICAC statement, it seemed to me a desperate measure to persuade the PM not to pursue a Commission of Inquiry, – desperate measure in damage control, to save Biman, now Lynda Tabuya and perhaps the rest of the other Ministers referred to FICAC, and of course save Malimali herself, choosing to fight to entrench herself in the position.
An interesting response to the PM’s statement that “if FICAC Commissioner, Barbara Malimali, feels that her staying on in the position would be interfering with the investigation of the Commission of Inquiry, then she is a senior lawyer and she should know what is in the best interest of everyone.” As usual, the PM prevaricates and sidesteps.
Unbelievable. How low in their collaborate deceit will they stoop.
The sheer cheek of them.
“Them” being the alliance of friends and friends of convenience, to get away with fooling and ripping off the Fijian public. And using state institutions for their convenience to portray legitimacy.
The whole lot should be turned into pillars of salt.
Barbwire must have failed family law or slept through the classes or perhaps had another swim to get pass conceded. Even if Lynda were divorced, she is living with her “husband” which would then be deemed as a defacto relationship
Come on Fijians can’t be this gullible – but wait we are.
..its a common theme GD, few years ago Sainiana Radrodro lodged her childrens application for TELS and listed husband Aseri as divorced, she didnt provide documentary evidence and a signed declaration which obviously was a lie.
While allowances were only allowed for parents earning below 50k or 30k , her children were on full allowances !!
these people were dubious when not in power, one can only imagine the amount of corruption happening now.
FYI- records can easily be verified at TSLS (if you know whom to get this document from)
Aseri is Sainiana’s second husband ! Sainiana is divorced from her first husband who is the father of her children. Aseri and Sainiana don’t have any kids together . Sainiana’s children would definitely have benefitted from TELTS because 1- Toppers is offered to outstanding children irrespective of the salary range! And 2 for children who may not have achieved the Toppers marks, Sainiana’s kids may have still benefited because of it serves memory correct- she was unemployed at that time her kids were studying and she was too. In fact her ex husband has been unemployed for a long time since he was terminated from Post Fiji.
Leave Sainiana alone! She’s not the one declaring false declarations as a cabinet Minister. It is Lynda Tabuya and her cronies !
Another day another woman on GS radar. And lots of people with nothing much to do except target them. I am sure there are more important issues that needs attention- health, drugs, expats having a gala time in fiji,
infrastructure to name a few. Let’s talk about that.
No, Mr/Ms Ostrich. Let’s talk about how gormless you are and the fact that all of Fiji’s ills flow from the corruption of our leaders and institutions.
You’ve popped up and delivered your pearl of wisdom. Now go back and bury your head in the sand.
what’s the use of talking about health, drugs, when the institutions of state are biased, how can we talk about the bigger issues when the institutions that are supposed to uphold the rule of law are being used to advance criminal activities and make them look right. This undermines the confidence of the people in the rule of law.
Where are the Semaan / Tabuya family going to flee to next…Habibi hubby’s Beirut, Lebanon? To pick up lucrative construction contracts for the rebuild when the war ends.
Hypothetically leaving unhappy customers of their building company in the lurch here in Fiji. ..if previous track record in USA and their currently displayed ethics is anything to go by.
Habibi hubby may have become a saint in Fiji, and the construction company may be above reproach but caveat emptor – be aware. I would not want a former body fat burner salesman building my house or commercial property. It would be hard to not imagine the duo fleeing and leaving another expensive mess behind if it suited them. And again hypothetically if defects were uncovered in their construction.
I heard he has already been taken to task by an investor in Taveuni. An absolute failure in his building standards.
A scammer will always be just that.
Hail Bula Fiji. Bula Fiji has decreed that women can do anything.
Bravo. Immunity clause.
Get a grip GS. You love belittling women. Anyone can see that. Perhaps Linda ghosted you. I will not be pushed about as you wish. Go get a cup of coffee and read your Bible
I need something a lot stronger than coffee to deal with idiots like you. If you don’t want to be pushed around here, bugger off. I support good women just as I support good men. But I don’t support lying trollops who abuse their positions of trust.
This is not women’s issue, it is an issue relating to the law and how everyone should be equal under the law.
Actually Bula Fiji, many many women are disgusted by Lynda Tabuya and want better for our Women and Children and for Fiji.
You must be a person of every low standards to think otherwise. She does not speak for intelligent women, nor women with integrity and who follow the rule of law.
The People’s Alliance Should change their party name to The Friends Alliance. They are definitely the people allies, but for themselves and their inner circles…creating a circus and treating the people of this country like idiots. They are disrespecting the very people who put them in positions of trust. What a shame and a sham. Out with them!
Friends with Benefits & Alliances 😂
Definitely not voting for these lowly, corrupt, conniving b1+ches and boutches in 2026. Bunch of lying crooks, white collar corrupt bastards and politicians who stupidly believe they can con their way into the highest office of the land.
Crawl back into the liposuction poverty to illegal riches cave you raised your stinking fake Mother Theresa profile from. You and your fake husband and criminal conspirator (US millions, mind you!) not the small $Fijian dollars we sent some of our politicians to jail for. Time to front up to the courts for your sins, Linda and Rob.
In case people are not aware, they’re laundering their stolen money from the US in Fiji using politics (wow! the audacity conning innocent Fijians!) and a thriving construction business.
Thanks GD for exposing this rot that’s been laundered as I write.
Money laundering hidden in plain sight!
Who’s the alpha male/alpha female journalist that’s going to be remembered for exposing this PAP rot for the world to see before GE2026!!!
Step up and be a patriot!
People like Bula Fiji are the reason the country never progresses. The currupt women don’t get a pass because they are women and everyone must be held accountable. Whatever men in government did that you know of and are bitter, you are welcome to expose them too. But you won’t because you are all currupt together and butter each other’s toast.
Both men and women must be better period and we are not accepting anything less then above board conduct in all matters!
GD is the only one standing up for anybody, men women and children.
Terminate Lynda Tabuya already.
The country deserves better.
Rabuka must think of the people and what we want, the people do.
We want the rule of law to be followed.
She is not putting food on the table or providing jobs.
The only people still supporting her have something to gain or have been lied to by Tabuya.
Isa Bula Fiji, you truly must be living in isolation, or you studied law at a very very extremely progressive institution that negates the rule of law. This is definitely not about gender, or vilifying woman. This is about corrupt leaders fleecing the nations coffers whilst covering up the corrupt actions of their colleagues, friends, and close associates. The people of Fiji are not that dumb to let the little good and kere veivosoti rubbish that this government and its cabal are inflicting. Enough is enough. GD is doing a massive job exposing all this corruption and incompetence, which by the way, should be the job our toothless and good for nothing local media wannabes. So credit due where it is due. Thanks again GD! Keep up the great work.
And pls don’t hold your breath waiting for the “crocodile tears” fijian media brigade to hook into this delectable story and ask probing questions. Fred, Vijay and Stanley are as usual in a conundrum…do we make even a passing mention about this whole sordid affair and risk our lap dog status with Rambo and biman? Or should we just ignore this sensational development and continue writing about fluff and the number of pigs we ate in Niue?
The other media are just too lamu sona to say much and will continue to do promotional ads for motibhais, prouds, seiko watches disguised as mainstream news. They have all sold their souls to the devil…as the devil incarnate who supposedly speaks to God and our own joe Biden stumbles from one disaster to another destroying fiji in the process.
BTW has anyone noticed over the years how the voice of our own brand of joe biden becomes increasingly baritone the more he bullshits?
Have a listen to his next lasulasu..you’ll see what I mean.
Barbara Malimali was obviously brought in to set very high standards at FICAC.
In fact the PM, his ministers, the judiciary and the whole government machinery are setting very high standards for our “churen.” Just ask them.
I started doubting Barbie’s legal knowledge. Read for yourself from the Family Law Act 2003.
Section 154 defines a De facto relationship as the relationship between a man and a woman who live with each other as spouses on a genuine domestic basis although not legally married.
Section 154 A further states that in determining whether 2 persons are in a de facto relationship, all the circumstances of a relationship are to be taken into account, including but not limited to the following as may be relevant in a particular case –
a) the duration of the relationship;
b) the nature and extent of common residence;
c) whether or not sexual relationship exists;
d) the degree of financial dependence or interdependence and arrangements for financial support between parties;
e) the ownership, use and acquisition of property;
f) the degree of mutual commitment to a shared life;
g) the care and support of children, if any;
h) the performance of household duties; and
i) the reputation and public aspects of the relationship.
According to facts and evidence presented by GD, barbie is wrong in dismissing the case against Lynda.
The way things are going, I have a feeling that this lot may attempt to manipulate the 2026 elections. Much like the previous government, once they are out of power, several of them could end up in court and possibly face jail time. I hope SoE Mataciwa stands her ground and remains vigilant as she prepares for the next elections.
For a woman who can gallop any man standing the word spouse means nothing.
I mean ask Aseri. Ask Rabuka. Ask Tabuya. Ask Habibi Husband. 😂
That’s how this bit@ch rolls.
Any surprises! None!
Did the Fijian Barbie really go to law school or was she on a full time galogalogy with the likes of Tabuya, Aseri, Vosarogo, Simpson, etc?
These lot are vomit material. Yes, exactly that. Puke. Chaat. Lua.
Who the actual heck employs these lots anyway? I get it. Rabuka the clown of the clowntree does.
GD, Fiji is not for honesty, dedication, or integrity. Women of substance are leaving in droves, and now we have the “soli mimi wavoki” liars in power. How does this narcissistic, shameless group sleep?
I never cease to be amazed at the continuing saga called the PAP Government and their cronies and corrupt people and practices. I used to think the FFP Government was into it, but they are mere amateurs compared to this mob.
The decision related to Lynda is the perfect example of decisions being made to protect the Ministers and members of the PAP. The exposure by GD shows how easily they move to whitewash and protect. Barbie’s a full blown PAP supporter and will do whatever is necessary to protect her compatriots. Independent? Not a chance!
Let’s see what the useless Prime Minister has to say. I will bet he will say the Inquiry will deal with this! Of course it will! An Inquiry set up by him, with a term of reference designed him and his compromised legal advisers with hand-picked members of the Inquiry Board!
What will the spineless ‘Opposition’ say – nothing! They, both groups are spineless and lead by former Military commanders with links to Rabuka!
As to trying to rig the 2026 Election I don’t think that will be needed as there is no effective opposition now and I doubt one will materialize by 2026.
If an opposing Party does appear, then it will need a high-profile leader and a big money chest. This mob (that’s all they are, a mob) will use Government money, vehicles and staff and will change the Electoral Act to ensure re-election. They have no morals when it comes to keeping power!
Pantomime, there’s a word I have not heard (or read) in a while. Describes the situation perfectly,
Isaa, as a Fijian woman, I feel nothing but utter shame.
Dou vagagalataki kemudou mai na matanitu and all public offices.
Shame on all of you!! Sa rauta mada na ocooco & na mata auauwa tio!
Your dear mother didn’t raise you to be a slut and a conwoman. Pride ultimately humbled you. Sobu! We’re not fools, ok? God will see to it that you’re FULLY exposed and sent to jail where you belong.
Turaga PM, me ra sa cegu laivi ereere sara! We’re watching and will vote accordingly in 2026.
GD, Hope you will allow, since it seems relevant.
Mayo Clinic
NPD – Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can:
Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration.
Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment.
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements.
Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are.
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people.
Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important.
Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them.
Take advantage of others to get what they want.
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others.
Be envious of others and believe others envy them.
Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited.
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office.
At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can:
Become impatient or angry when they don’t receive special recognition or treatment.
Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted.
React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior.
Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior.
Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change.
Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail.
Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection.
Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure.
……………………………………………………………………..
In sum, they are bloody liars, with no morals, no integrity, no empathy. One level below psychopaths.
The political conditions that now prevail allow for an environment where we must consider the law fraternity as a cohort of sociopaths, unless and until, we see they convey to the people of Fiji, through action, that they are not sociopaths.
You are the elite of society and are the repository of law and its implementation.
If you have lost control of it, then do something to get it back, show the people of Fiji that you still embody some integrity, some values.
Get on the street, march, so we can see you who amongst you are honest.
Great respect for lawyers in Pakistan who stood against the government and took to the street.
Not one will show up, to ashamed, they are all compromised, fearful, gutless.
If one shows up, I will walk with him.
Signs: ” Lawyers for Justice” etc.
Mine ” Bushlawyers for Justice, with this lot, but not the others”
There is no cure for NPD .
They will never change, they can not change
Some take to religion, the pulpit, where they can play God.
Integrity and shame has been wiped off and flushed down the toilet by the coalition and its cronies long time ago.
Its now just left to see how low will these people go. There’s nothing in mainstream media, no journalist asking even simple questions of accountability.
Its time to depart from Fiji. Its not worth hitting ones head on a stone wall.
Too late. Without Bainimarama, Fiji is finished. They will win at least another term.
I’m sorry GD. No one is taking the Mickey of of SLR. He knows what is going on. He cannot plead I wasn’t aware. The people turning a blind eye to all this have this illusion that these clowns will fix their problem, get them out of poverty and give them prosperity.
The fact is, the PM ought to have known, and is laughable that he didn’t know about:
1- Brutal bonking
2- Mali Mali appointment
3 – P Wise and his theatrics
4- the conduct of his rogue CJ
But yes you are right; some one is taking the Mickey of some one – these lot are taking the Mickey out of the Fijian people (and to be clear the itaukei and Vulagi alike)
And if I may add to your list:
5. A woman beater for Minister for Education
6. A druggie for Minister for Women and Children
7. A PM who is a friend of George Speight (he forgot that he was as he became the victim the day before)
Is this useless of the Minister found a solution to infidelity, porn, drugs, child trafficking yet?
All talk.
No relevant action.
Absolutely and plainly useless.
This woman and her spouse have scammed millions from USA.
If she has finally signed off stating the name of her spouse then she is finally in a bigger trouble with her past and the shareholders in the USA. She took off from USA for a reason.
The indigenous majority are so gullible and they have been easily manipulated and fooled by this woman and her clothes as well as broken promises. Well, not for long as the past has caught up with her present.
It will be interesting to know how Habibi gets his business building contracts. Time will tell and unearth that too. Not too far away.
She is so corrupt and a fool.
All I can say after looking at all the fakery f**kery is that this marriage is not only a sham but a million dollar and counting SCAM on the people of Fiji.
Two white collar criminals in suits pretending to be God’s gift to Fiji.
Nomudrau arse sara, my Savusavu neighbour likes to say..
Rabuka is going to entrust the person being investigated with the files??
That makes no sense!
If they are not married, how is he able to have a construction company in Fiji.
Tabuya had registered him as her spouse as shown by Fiji Leaks.
Did he get his business in Fiji by being married to a Fijian? So if they did get divorced, how is he able to continue.
Can someone from Immigration please answer this question?
It does not seem right that he should be able to continue if he divorced his Fijian wife.
Fiji Immigration please look into this.
Well, he’s got no control over his cronies so no big deal. That’s the way Fiji politics are atm. Shameful, shabby, and down right abysmal. As revealed by FICAC, a manipulator of facts and figures, that should have been hauled before the courts, now has the keys to the nations cash box. Get out of Fiji whilst one can. The country is headed towards chaos and anarchy unless timely intervention is made.
Rob Semaan claimed he was born in Fiji.
How is he still operating in Fiji under false pretenses. Many conflicting statements.
Open a new investigation on both of them!
Of course they are best mates. They went to Bond University together sponsored by the Fiji government of the day.
Frank Bainimarama must have at least some access to the internet in prison and watching over all of this absolute shit show…I wonder what must he be thinking?
@heathclffe My guess is JVB cared too much about the nation at large to be enjoying the current goings on. He might in fact be distressed about the current state of affairs.
I do not, of course speak for anyone.
However, with no one being perfect, JVB is a good person. A time will come when people may recognize the vision he had for Fiji. But don’t hold your breath.
Much maligned as PM by the very same people who now have superglued their tongues to each others butts. NGOs, press, TV, print, online, keyboard “freedumb fighters”, “ethno-nationalist democrazy”movements disguised as strong pro LQ supporters, the 2000 thugs in hiding mainly in OZ/US/NZ. Your public profile social media accounts speaks for you and who you are.
Most are now living on the benevolence, acceptance, tolerance, and enjoying equal rights in these foreign lands. Ironically, the same itaukei do not want to extend the same equal rights, tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion to the Fiji-born and bred “vulagi.”
JVB must be sad to know how divisive the itaukei have become, how out of control the destructive forces are, the state of the economy, having left it with a year-on-year growth, deft handling of a pandemic and post pandemic recovery, and mitigating the effects of currency demonetization.
Many of these loud mouth ethno nationalist critics live on shamelessly as “refugees” and bridging visas, fibbing foreign governments they fear for their lives- get this – for being itaukei! What hypocrisy.
Many simply live in open violation of respective vulagi countries’ laws. Ever more shamelessly espousing christianity-hallelujah-god-is-great-shalom kind of religious bigotry, while zealously promoting hate and racism. Bigots.
Funny the itaukei don’t all head to Israel en-masse in fear of their lives as refugees. Considering their claims to be the lost tribe and vulagi god’s chosen people and all that. Now is the time to put your lives on the line for your god people. Bigots.
When do these people in Fiji stop lying?
Semen wasn’t born in Fiji.
Another reason why this couple and this Australian should be fully investigated.
How come an Australian is also winning tenders in Fiji while declaring he is Fijian? That’s a lie and is called FRAUDULENT behaviour.
I can’t do Fiji anymore.
I told my family not to dare think of returning to this country but to stay in Australia.
This country has nothing for us even as itaukei. I am so tired of what we are seeing under this government. Everyday they have something new to reveal.
Just so wrong. We ordinary people go and work hard to pay their hefty salary for stealing from us. I would like to see no more coup leaders ever to be voted . Never again.
ACS’s fine product.
Then there is QVS and RKS.
All the same. Breeding the right leaders of coup culture and dishonest politicians.
Pacific Building Solutions website is now down. Interesting, isn’t it.
On the YouTube link below it boasts itself as Fiji’s biggest construction company. It even boasts itself as doing work for donor countries.

Can anyone please tell why this company is given donor funds and government funds? Isn’t he a bankrupt from USA!
These are some hard questions and I would like Graham to expose the builds that Semaan has undertaken and the list of donors involved. Let’s get nailing! Shall we Fiji? Time to let the donors and taxpayers know in other countries the level of corruption that Fiji is under this Habibi and his wife.
So disappointed in these two. I dont know what else to say.
Why, Lynda?
Why, Barbara?
But, then again, this is Fiji. In time, we will forgive and move on. We will not forget though when it’s time to vote again.
Where are all the other people in the FICAC office, are they going to speak up? Are they allowed to speak up? Or are they worried for their own job and safety?
In the first place, you can’t have an impartial investigation on anyone by the very person who is also being investigated of wrongdoing!
Why would anybody get involved in Fiji, invest in Fiji or spend hard earned cash in Fiji? Good people are framed and the very corrupt prosper. There seems to be no limit on what they will do, even when it makes them look stupid. They’d rather look incredibly stupid than get anyone in trouble.
This is so embarrassing. Nobody seems to mind plundering the country.
In today’s FT, Mans Sweet Sweet, has boldly challenged Francis to provide evidence and to return to Fiji and also saying she would be safe.
What drugs is this guy on?
1. Their hastily appointed stooge is already in high speed mode having closed the file on Tart L Tabuya”s case.
2. Snake Rabuka has emphatically stated that Mali2 is going nowhere unless she’s charged with an offence.
3. Christmas father Temo doesn’t give a damn what Rabuka thinks or says about the rottteness in FICAC. Rabuka will eventually claim the reference to rottenness was from the FFP era. How dumb will that be? And Rabuku and other cronies will hold onto their positions.
Truly pathetic, it is sickening to watch this man and his shameless bunch of cronies drag this country into a state of helplessness and almost irreparable damage, shame, and suffering. Looking forward to the upcoming protests and more importantly, how this government will respond when their filthy linen will be displayed for all to see.
Please report corruption of Airport Fiji Limited tender to politically exposed Rob Seeman and personal relationship to Mesake Nawari with the World Bank integrity unit.
