“As a parliamentarian, I welcome the investigation on the basis that no one is above the law and all I can say right now is that I’ll give my full cooperation with the investigation”.

Other MPs also being investigated for the same allegation are Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, Adi Litia Qionibaravi, Salote Radrodro, Mosese Bulitavu, Ratu Suliano Matanito-bua, Peceli Vosanibola and Simione Rasova.

Radrodro adds publicizing his name has denied him natural justice.

” I don’t think there is any need to publicize the names and I thank the party (SODELPA) for what they did earlier.”

It is alleged that these MPs, along with Vijendra Prakash of FijiFirst breached the Parliamentary Remuneration Act.
