It is an outrageous perversion of justice that the rogue Chief Justice, Salesi Temo, has escaped being investigated by the police yet has persuaded them to investigate Justice David Ashton-Lewis – the Supreme Court Judge who has accused Temo of obstructing justice, perjury and abuse of office.
The Chief Justice as head of the Judicial Services Commission has accused the Judge of falsifying his professional credentials despite Justice Ashton-Lewis having been judge in Fiji since the early 1990s – first on the High Court and now the Supreme Court – and there never having been any question of his qualifications to do so.
It all smacks of a crude smear campaign to destroy the Judge’s credibility and derail the Supreme Court Commission of Inquiry into the Barbara Malimali affair and its findings of widespread wrongdoing at the heart of the establishment.
Where has the information come from that has prompted Salesi Temo to refer Justice Ashton Lewis to the police? Incredibly, it appears to stem from the prolonged campaign of denigration that has been waged on social media and in the Fiji Times by the voluble expatriate, Charlie Charters, on behalf of his friend, the President of the Fiji Law Society, Wylie Clarke, and their close associate, lawyer Richard Naidu, who represents both the Fiji Times and the Deputy Prime Minister and NFP leader, Biman Prasad.
Wylie Clarke has also been accused of perverting the course of justice in the COI Report and Richard Naidu succeeded in getting FICAC to delay charging his client and political ally with making a false income declaration to the Elections Office. Barbara Malimali was then parachuted in and closed the case on Biman Prasad.
Together, it appears that they have joined forces with others adversely named in the COI Report – in this instance the Chief Justice and the Chief Registrar, the drink-driving Tomasi Bainivalu – to attempt to destroy Justice Ashton-Lewis’s reputation. A glaring aspect of this campaign is that no argument is being advanced publicly that the Judge got anything wrong in his findings but that he wasn’t fit to conduct the inquiry in the first place because he has allegedly lied about his background.
Never mind that there has been no question before about his integrity during 30 years on the bench in Fiji. Ashton-Lewis’s real “crime” has been to take on the corrupt cabal that has succeeded in capturing the state and as the COI Report details, has allegedly engaged in criminal conduct on an industrial scale.
It has all come to a head with the Judge’s statement during the week castigating the Prime Minister for his inaction on the COI Report. Now the target is Ashton-Lewis himself. But it is a campaign that smacks of desperation on the part of those adversely named in his Report. Because they know that their attempt to escape justice isn’t guaranteed to succeed.
It will only happen if the Commander of the RFMF, Major General Ro Jone Kalouniwai, and the rest of the Military Council – who are currently examining their options – allow it to happen. The Chief Justice’s action in referring Justice Ashton-Lewis to the police actually makes an intervention more likely. Because it is now clear, if it wasn’t clear already, that the integrity of the criminal justice system in Fiji has completely broken down.
The Chief Justice is being permitted to remain in office despite grave accusations of criminal conduct made against him by a Supreme Court Judge. The Prime Minister has acknowledged that there is no investigation into Salesi Temo’s conduct by either the police or FICAC. Yet now the Chief Justice has sooled the police onto his accuser in yet another a breathtaking abuse of his power that ought to be the final straw.
What is all this telling us? That there is now no hope of the corruption at the heart of the state being tackled in the normal manner through the institutions in the criminal justice system that ought to be independent but have also been corrupted.
The Chief Justice and the Chief Registrar – who are the principal members of the Judicial Services Commission – are mired in accusations of wrongdoing. Yet instead of being stood aside by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister, they remain in place and are now using the police to pursue their accuser.
The CID is now investigating Justice Ashton-Lewis but not Justice Temo. And it is an outrage that makes a military intervention even more pressing because the normal processes of the law have been completely corrupted.
This extends to the nation’s two chief prosecutors, Acting DPP Nancy Tikoisuva and Deputy DPP John Rabuku, who are also being kept in place despite being adversely named in the COI Report. They are not independent but are part of this conspiracy, with the substantive DPP, Christopher Pryde, still sidelined after more than two years and now charged with abuse of office on trumped-up charges, having already been exonerated by the Tuilevuka Tribunal.
We can expect Justice David Ashton-Lewis to get similar treatment as the police act on the complaint against him by a corrupt Chief Justice operating on behalf of a corrupt establishment, which includes elements of the legal profession and a compliant and supine media.
The integrity of the criminal justice system has been smashed and without a decisive intervention, so will the integrity of the state. Which is why those elements of the Military Council who are now urging Commander Kalouniwai to act are correct. It is time to reassert the rule of law through the military exercising its lawful duty under Section 131 of the Constitution to “defend the well-being of Fiji and all Fijians”. And to bring this criminality at the heart of the state to an end.
I repeat: No credible attack has been mounted on the actual COI Report. Not a single one of its findings or recommendations has been publicly challenged. Indeed we know that the Prime Minister assured Justice Ashton-Lewis after he presented him with the Report that he accepted the findings and would implement all 17 recommendations.
The President, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, also told the COI after he received the Report that he would suspend his friend and relative, the Chief Justice. Yet since then, there has been a concerted campaign by those adversely named to avoid justice and destroy the credibility of the COI.
Now the grubby campaign of denigration of the Judge by Charlie Charters and his local cohorts has been picked up by a desperate Chief Justice and Chief Registrar and referred to the police.
Can we be confident that the police will resist the pressure now being applied to them to make findings against the Judge? Can we be confident that any police docket on Justice Ashton-Lewis that finds its way to the DPP will be evaluated independently when Nancy Tikoisuva and John Rabuku have been targeted by the Judge in his Report?
The answer in both instances is a resounding “no”. And it is time for the military to intervene because the normal processes in the criminal justice system have broken down. Justice David Ashton-Lewis must be defended and the COI recommendations must be implemented or democracy itself is threatened.
As Grubsheet stressed earlier in the week, it wouldn’t be a coup to seize power but an intervention to save democracy. As we have long observed, Ashton-Lewis has been our Obi Wan Kanobi of Star Wars fame – Fiji’s only hope against the tyranny of the current order. And as the forces of evil conspire against him, the RFMF has now also become our only hope.
They must tell the Prime Minister and President to back off, suspend the Chief Justice and act on the COI Report. Or do their constitutional duty to defend democracy and the nation’s well-being by removing the President and Chief Justice and scheduling a fresh election, with Sitiveni Rabuka leading an interim government in the meantime.
In any event, Fiji needs a fresh election because the current parliament no longer reflects the will of the people. Don’t take my word for it. It’s the view of the influential head of Dialogue Fiji, Nilesh Lal, in an opinion piece in today’s Fiji Times that we are republishing below.
If we accept Lal’s argument, a lawful military intervention to return Fiji to the polls as soon as practicable isn’t just acceptable but desirable. And there is certainly no valid argument for next year’s scheduled election being delayed for another three years as work proceeds on a new constitution, which is what the People’s Alliance advanced this week at the Supreme Court constitutional review.
Genuine democracy in Fiji has been bastardised under the Coalition and there can be no reasonable argument for any delay in going back to the people as soon as that can be arranged.
————
The attack on Justice Ashton-Lewis.
The JSC’s attack dog, Tomasi Bainivalu, doing Salesi Temo’s dirty work.
The Prime Minister also cuts the Judge loose and washes his hands of his own role in this farce.
What the Judge says in the COI Report about the Chief Justice yet he remains in place and has sooled the police onto his accuser.
What the Judge says about the Chief Registrar, Tomasi Bainivalu, but Bainivalu arrogantly fights back in the sure knowledge that the boot is now on the other foot.
Finally, is a democracy still a democracy when a nation’s institutions of state have been hijacked and corrupted and the Parliament no longer represents the will of the people?
The aforementioned article by Dialogue Fiji’s Nilesh Lal in today’s Fiji Times.
We can be sure that The Fiji Times disclaimer is genuine for once. Because Nilesh Lal has just demolished the principal argument for this government to have the right to complete its term.
When it no longer represents the will of the people, its intellectual raison d’ être – its reason to exist – has gone. And a fresh election triggered by the defenders of the well-being of the people can’t come soon enough. Because enough is enough.
—————
The full “Possible Offences” list in the COI Report. And the reason Justice Ashton-Lewis finds himself in the firing line.
Qori. It is time for the military to side with Obi Wan Kanobi to defeat the forces of evil now standing in the way of anyone who is eventually found guilty being brought to account.
My popcorn machine just broke from overuse
Starting with the trumped up charges levelled at Christopher Pryde it seems like ‘shooting the messenger’ has become the modus operandi of the so called higher officials that ‘run’ this country.
And they are running it into the ground.
Like the rats leaving the sinking ship, it must follow that the countries that have propped up this failing countrys economy for so long will see that there is no hope left for it and also abandon the ship.
How much anime does Graham watch everyday?
Same as previous regime. Anyone speak against the Government, they will come after you. Where is the democracy in Fiji?
The JSC makes themselves look so pathetic issuing these statements and getting police to silence anyone speaking against them.
However, nothing lasts forever and all who done wrong will face the music.
The music might well be ‘The Last Post’
If only these idiots knew their old english law and how it works they would understand (may not) how these SC and titles works. Bunch of idiots lodging false complaints to protect themselves.
With these developments where it becomes evident every day that proper process has been hijacked,even in Pakistan some lawyers would have protested by now. Where are Nazhat Shameem and academic lawyers who teach at USP etc. Time to take a stand against the tyranny of a few who believe the law doesn’t apply to them.
While all this is happening the PM does a runner, again.
He loves Indians and idol worshipers, Sona Rolex. He loves money too. He loves to kiss Modi’s dhoti ass.
Indians are among the world’s best doctors, surgeons and among the world’s best hospitals. Not to mention outstanding engineers, scientists, and among the largest economy.
Yes, much like Fiji, full of vibrant entertainment and entrepreneurs and home to many billionares.
The Snake idolized Modi and therefore must worship idols. Vesumona ga sa vesumona.
As I had suggested earlier, Fiji’s polity has become fragmented and fractured and are run by a bunch of monkeys. This current bunch of the iTaukeis have no credibility, intellectually brain dead and all of them promoted beyond their competence and running a rudderless ship. The executive and the judiciary have become totally corrupt with unfettered powers and they are literally getting away with “murder”.
My guess is that only the trade union movements both in Fiji and abroad together with some kind of a threat to boycott the tourism industry and only then expect some changes, otherwise Fiji is doomed.
Aston Lewis COI report now appears to be done with prejudice and subjudice and therefore it lacks merit and two panel’s composite credibility have gone out of window as well now.
By speaking to media further proves its point, that Ashton Lewis pre-determined the matter and therefore he lacked fairness and objectivity. The COI was therefore should be deemed subjective from day 1.
COI report holds no weight and everyone there should shut the f**k up and move on to something else for your time pass and pleasure especially if you got nothing good to offer for Fiji.
Hahaha! You’re a funny flucker. Not.
Take a break under a mango tree.
It is you who should shut the f**k up and allow justice to take its course.
This was a lawfully-constituted Supreme Court Commission of Inquiry akin to a royal commission in Australia and NZ. It was instigated by the Prime Minister and the fact that it has uncovered evidence of wrongdoing that doesn’t suit his political purposes is no reason to throttle it.
To say that Justice Ashton-Lewis “prejudged” his findings and the whole thing should be junked is absurd and a complete travesty of justice. The evidence is all there in 681 pages of astonishing revelations exposed under diligent cross-examination in a proper court. And they must now be investigated properly and charges laid where they are warranted.
Why should anyone “move on” and allow these crooks to triumph? In your dreams, Buster.
There is an old saying in the law: No-one protests their innocence more loudly than the guilty. No-one protests their honour more loudly than the dishonourable.
To now turn the blowtorch on the Judge himself is a national scandal. And it must not be allowed to happen.
Shut the Fuc@ k up and wait.
If coalition government wouldn’t have called for a Commission of enquiry,whom you guys would be barking at.
Lewis has jumped the gun by going to media.
He can’t be both ,a investigator and a opposition.
He can be taken to task.
Just ask any legal experts.
Coalition has upper hand on this one.
Yes that is right @Take a Break, we all should move forward to the past, right?
No military intervention please.
We, the people, dont want them involved.
Let the political forces sort out the mess. After all, they are highly paid to do so.
To the Commander and the soldiers; stay in the barracks Sir. We dont need you.
The “political forces” can’t deal with this. As Nilesh Lal suggests, those politicians who have been bought off by Rabuka are in no position to oppose. So who is to hold him to account?
The institutions of state have been corrupted, the government now has a super-majority and there is no other prospect of proper accountability except by the RFMF fulfilling its constitutional duty.
They must intervene to save democracy by forcing an early election. That isn’t a coup but a defence of Fiji and all Fijians by upholding the rule of law and restoring the people’s will in the parliament.
Nonsense.
The saying is “if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck!”
A coup, is a coup, is a coup.
We in Fiji do not want the military involved. PERIOD.
The Fiji Human Rights Commission recently echoed that sentiment by reminding the military that they must remain subservient to civilian rule.
Section 131 (2) of 2013 Constitution must be amended to stop once and for all these strident calls for military intervention by outsiders who dont even live here.
The Fijian people are remaining subservient to a bunch of corrupt politicians who have installed their own people in the institutions of state and corrupted them as well.
Section 131 exists to deal with such an eventuality. And until it is changed, it remains the supreme law and enables the military to intervene to defend Fiji and all Fijians from the tyranny and lawlessness that we are now witnessing.
If you think I am alone in this opinion, it is only because people living in Fiji fear putting their names to such sentiments. The climate of fear under this mob is worse than under FijiFirst. Because the checks and balances of any normal democracy have gone altogether and it is the rule of the mob manipulated by a corrupt and pampered elite.
Nonsense. You live in Australia so how can you claim to know whats happening here Fiji? Except of course, by reports from disgruntled Fiji First agents who want to destabilise the situation.
If the military do step in as you and your ilk are encouraging, then guess which community will bear the brunt of the backlash ?
I can’t and won’t try to change your opinions on the ‘bunch of corrupt politicians who have installed their own people etc.’ But Dialogue Fiji’s point, and your point, needs to be set in some context.
The 2013 constitution has produced a feeble, wretched facsimile of a parliamentary democracy. I have always argued that that was exactly as Bainimarama and Sayed-Khaiyum wished: The appearance of democracy without the boring bits of being directly accountable to taxpayer voters.
The most important missing link is between voter, constituency and MP. Even former Chief Justice Gates agreed with this in a paper he submitted to Justice, Law and Human Rights Committee on the Code of Conduct Bill in December 2016.
There are many reasons to be cynical about the state of Fiji politics today. But is the anger not an obvious consequence of watching MPs vote themselves higher and higher salaries, and create more and more ministerial and assistant material positions, without any representative constitutional redress like recalls, petitions, surgeries etc?
The 2013 constitution that Dialogue Fiji would have us preserve provides zero ‘representative’ functional process for a voter to hold an MP, political party or Government to account.
Of course that unhappy democractic deficit, bequeathed to Fiji by Bainimarama, was then added to when the leadership of FijiFirst abandoned ship at the first sign of the choppy seas of opposition. I have a long list of criticisms of Rabuka, the Professor et al but at least they served their time in Opposition.
Instead of staying on to honour their voters, those champions of democracy Bainimarama and Sayed-Khaiyum fled.
So Maoist were the internal structures of FijiFirst that without the party atomised, and their MPs coalesced around personality factions. And that’s why we have the hot mess you see when you look at Parliament today, and why the anger of taxpayer voters continues to boil and boil.
I am ready to blame Rabuka for many things including the gigantic mess that is the COI.
But Rabuka had no hand in the 2013 constitution which was purpose built to deliver an always-and-ever-after FijiFirst government. In December 2022, when the contradictions of that Govt became too much even for FICAC, FEO, MIDA, and the 2013 constitution, to sustain, that collapse led us to where we are today.
It’s always greatly appreciated by my wife’s family that you keep alive my late mother-in-law’s memory, and her talent for seeing things as they are.
You were quick to mock her, putting up an unflattering picture of her [which you subsequently took down] as she entered the Sodelpa offices when the party had the balance of power in their hands.
Given the binary choice that Sodelpa faced, you were pro-Rabuka or more likely anti-Bainimarama, as was I.
But she was one of the holdouts in the Sodelpa ballot on December 19 who refused to vote for Rabuka or have anything to do with him and chiefly connections. I can hear her now saying, Qori.
You have a f**king hide coming here, Charlie, and not addressing the main issues I raised about your conduct – your unforgivable role in degrading the COI through your unconscionable personal attacks on the Judge and your description of me as a “ball greaser” for standing up for Justice Ashton-Lewis.
Congratulations on allowing yourself to be used as a tool by those who are benefiting from the collapse of the rule of law and proper governance. You are as much of a low-life as any of the low-lifes who have brought Fiji to its current sorry state, including your appalling mother-in-law, who you know confessed to being part of a conspiracy to burn down Suva and got away with it on a technicality.
You completely ignore the main issue of my call for a military intervention because you don’t have the courage to argue otherwise. But while none of you and your kai vata give a flying f**k about my opinions on anything, you do care what Nilesh Lal has said, which supports the overall position I have taken that the “New Order” that you support is a sham.
I can just imagine the alarm in your little glee club about the hated “ball greaser” being gifted a free kick by being able to reprint such an important article from a respected community figure of the stature of Nilesh Lal. That’s why you are here – ducking and weaving through the intellectual minefield you have all entered and which threatens to blow up in your faces because it undermines the fundamental basis of your position.
So the head of Dialogue Fiji has pronounced that the current parliament doesn’t represent the will of the people, not the hated “ball greaser” and “Qorvis Bainimarama stooge”. Labasa! Let’s get Charlie out to try to minimise the fall-out. Because this is seriously damaging to our cause.
F**k you, Charlie, for your unforgivable attacks on David Ashton-Lewis. F**k you for your betrayal of Fiji’s minorities and support for a corrupt system. You ought to be ashamed to show your face here and not address your scandalous conduct and instead try to shift the goalposts because Nilesh Lal has called you bastards out. But then shame is not in your lexicon or nature.
Qori.
Under the law, they have a duty to act.
Current circumstances require them to act.
If they don’t, the current commander should be downgraded to private and Frank Bainimarama should be appointed the new commander.
Goes without saying, once that is done then Naiqama, Rabuka, Salesi Temo, Siromi, Tabuya, Rabuku, Nancy, and a whole host of others will be offered and will accept voluntary redundancies. No payment will be made, just a promise of lenient sentence.
Ioane and Naupoto should also be stripped of their rank for their dishonourable conduct.
KEnobi baraca
Thank you GD for highlighting this, especially for the sake of the minorities, the ‘vulagis’ and many who fear for their country. Their human rights are being trampled upon and their rights are eroding under the current ethno-nationalist regime who have now bought off all state institutions, even MPs, trade unions, professional bodies etc not only to remain in power but bring about wholesale changes.
The NFP, purporting to represents the interests of the fast dwindling Indo-Fijians, are resigned to saving their own Ministerial positions and sucking up to the old reptilian. Of course the majority i-taukeis have nothing to fear as they have been made to feel entitled and feel they will come out winners no matter what.
Huge accolades to Nilesh Lal of Dialogue Fiji for his sound analysis, objectivity and his fearless voice when others in the country are either too afraid or could not care less. Indeed, where are the so called academics and researchers from our FOUR tertiary institutions, our media and civil society groups who are expected to be the watchdog for society. Even our religious organisations like the Arya Samaj, Churches (Hello Rev James Bhagwan) Sanatan Dharm, Sangam, Muslim League, Women’s groups (Shamima Ali, Noelene ?) etc seem to have become mere spectators.
The Fijians seem to have no one they can turn to speak for their rights under this regime. Thank you to Grubsheet and Dialogue Fiji for keeping the flame alight.
Whatever the findings are on the COI Commissioner by the police, we all should just ignore it.
But wait, not this time, because the target is a kaivalagi so the findings cannot be ignored because that would not be in their best interests.
The opinion of the Supreme Court on the Constitutional questions should also be ignored whatever the opinion is.
But wait, they will do what they want whatever the opinion of the Supreme Court is because this is iTaukei land and they will do whatever is “best” for them.
So what is the use of these inquiries and court cases? Ask them and I am sure they have no idea. This is the definition of a kakistocracy and lawlessness. And very proud people they are. Look at the drink driving and convicted Chief Registrar, the dodgy CJ and those in the ODPP. All are very proud iTaukeis and very proud to be openly dickheads and proudly incompetent.
That is all allowed and fine as this is their land after all. That is the arrogance and the attitude I see. Primitive, Racists, Hate filled pretend Christians.
Davis is the only crusader that is calling this govt out – I love the comments here as he encourages debate even if its sometimes against his own narrative – my favourite of the week, Pramesh Sharma, NZs most hated Fiji Indian, called PUSSY Grabber – is Sudha Susan Karan listening?
I believe that it must make the convicted drink driving Chief Registrar very proud to pontificate about the COI Commissioner.
It is like the conviction gives him special permission to be openly and arrogantly proud. It is like “Hey everyone, look at me, look at me, I am proud to be iTaukei, convicted for drink driving, still holding my position and have no issues or embarrassment to have such character as a legal person administering the rule of law in my primitive mindset. I have all the right qualifications to be in this job, because this is Fiji, my land which I love and the vulagis will never understand.”
And we thought Tudravu was the right man for the job, eh Graham?
Judgements and mis-judgements about people in Fiji. It is a big dilemma!
I suspect the bigger picture reminds the Military of when countries who fund Fiji’s budget have in the past placed sanctions on Fiji following a coup.
I also wonder if these close neighbours will instead take a “let them” approach to the current assault on democracy & decency, whilst closely monitoring how this plays out as they assess how they allocate future funds.
I am deeply concerned about the recent conduct of Justice Temo, which, in my view, raises serious questions about judicial impartiality, fairness, and the proper administration of justice in Fiji. There appears to be a troubling pattern of pre-empting charges against individuals who have not yet been convicted, potentially undermining the presumption of innocence. Cases involving former Fiji First members seem to receive selective attention, creating an appearance of political bias within the judiciary.
There are instances where the handling of cases appears to override or pre-judge decisions made by magistrate courts, eroding confidence in the judicial hierarchy.
Such practices compromise public trust in the courts and risk damaging Fiji’s reputation for upholding the rule of law. I dont know who will take all necessary steps to ensure judicial independence, integrity, and fairness because the Prime Minister, President and Commissioner of Police are all rallying behind each other.
Who will decide to set aside the CoI Report after the investigation. Will it be the Court by a Judicial Review and if so by which Judge, or Pedo Presi or the Snake who will the in the land of the snake charmers as a Vulagi who who will be accorded a a welcome with Arti . If the CoI is set aside then all judgements and decisions of Justice Aston Lewis must be anulled as well. What a chaos. The Chaos theorist may have not have ever imagined this. .
These are all well coordinated plans involving the head primate Rabuka, Temo, and others including the senile pedophile President.
The Police Commissioner is a lapdog of these primates, and being one himself, he obviously has to return the favor for his appointment as ComPol.
Anyone thinking that Tuidravu was a man of integrity, then you are deluded.
The open breaches of rule of law and the molestation of the justice system by these pigs will continue.
Anyone thinking that the Commander RFMF is going to step in to protect the Constiution, then you also need psychiatric help. This guy doesn’t have the balls and is too feminine to hold such a post. He has been observing the breaches since very early on but hasn’t done anything. And nor will he do anything
The only solution – God. He works is mysterious ways and if not now, but in time to come we will have someone like Bainimarama again who will rescue us from scumbags of the current regime.
Nilesh Lal’s article is on the mark.
I now see the MP’s self approved 130% pay rise like a open bribe to bring in the supposedly “Independent”……… Sorry, self serving MP’s into the coalition government, to give the snake a free rein on his own mandate and not the electroal mandate the people voted for!
This government finds a new low every day.
Human gestation period is about 9 months. Some other mammals up to 3 years. However the gestation period of a military coup is dependent on a few variables which is right now at play. A surgical strike is perhaps required now. This can be led by any able and willing officer, if it’s not the Commander.
The Sona Rolex Snake is practicing systematic persecution of his critics by weaponizing the courts and judiciary, police and FICAC to his advantage. The bastard bottle collector has exposed himself as the disgusting dictator he’s always been.
What Sona Rolex’s rabid hated-fueled followers fail to see is the systematic nature of these investigations which only exposes the fundamental contradiction and hypocrisy in government’s approach by doing exactly what they accused the previous mob of doing.
Going by government’s approach, they seemed to have a pre-compiled list of targets, including anyone critical of the horrendous levels of corruption, mismanagement, nepotism and cronyism and corruption.
The coalition does all the retributive persecution to deflect attention to their own serial law-breaking, by the prez, pm, and the judiciary.
A complaint police plays along as do many other arms of government to ensure protection for each other.
The police commissioner bellows the hollow occasional false claims of police sayin that “NO ONE is above the law”.
We see this fallacy play out every day- with one law for you and one for us.
The Sona Rolex pretend ignorance about procedural matters are bordering on criminal negligence. He claims to not know what one arm of government is doing yet contradicts himself the next day.
Sona Rolex’s reaction to Ashton-Lewis’s legitimate recommendations and concerns are ignored. Instead government chooses to undermine and falsely malign the commission judge and CoI.
The judiciary’s reaction to file police complaints to investigate settled matters further undermines claims of FICAC and police of prosecutorial independence.
The pedo president plays along with the judiciary while his CJ attacks the CoI commissioner, ignoring the substantive recommendations of the CoI. What a lowlife we have for a CJ.
By this systematic filing of frivolous complaints, and investigating bearers of unpalatable critiques, the judiciary’s pretense of justice and integrity cannot conceal the truth about this government: creating an environment in which political opposition becomes presumed as evidence of criminal behavior.
The Sona Rolex with the pedo prez are providing the rogue CJ bureaucratic cover to do their and his own bidding with impunity.
China Railway has been the major construction company building infrastructure in Fiji for the last 29 years.

Graham, those with that dreaded anti-vulagi spirit would be at church today, including in India, with their bibles minus one particular verse: Matthew 5:44 “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”
