Reliable sources have confirmed that while interim AG, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum, was Colonial's General Manager Legal, his girlfriend was (upon his recommendation) appointed to the position of Manager Legal (ie. his immediate sub-boss), even though she is not a qualified lawyer.
Late last week, the Girlfriend resigned from Colonial to join none other than the newly established Anti-Corruption Unit, again on Khaiyum's recommendation.
Perhaps, Khaiyum just wants his girl close to him. I don't know.
My sources say that as she was leaving, she wanted to take several Colonial files with her.
Her bosses thought she was overstepping her mark and aptly refused telling her to piss off because the files were company property - and they were right!
My source then tells me that a short time later, two military trucks arrived at Colonial's HQ and armed soldiers stormed the premises and demanded the release of the files.
Needless to say, the poor Colonial staff could do nothing as the soldiers ransacked the place and removed the files.
I am now begining to wonder if Fiji's Anti-Corruption Unit is actually the interim IG's New Gestapo Unit.
They certainly are acting like it!
Under normal times, abuse of power like this would have attracted a corruption investigation. But now that it is being done by the same people charged with weeding out and ending corruption, it seems more and more like we've just given the keys to the hen house to the foxes!
