The FijiFirst Party had a press conference after a meeting yesterday and Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum who has opted not to be an elected representative in parliament, stood in front of the MPs to deliver a statement with many claims and allegations against the coalition government.<\/p>\n
We had approached FFP Leader and the Leader of the Opposition, Voreqe Bainimarama twice as he was going in and out of the party office at Brown Street yesterday.<\/p>\n
He was not taking any questions and not responding to any of the queries.<\/p>\n
We are still trying to confirm if the FFP will now have a person who opted to stay out of parliament to be leading the party’s statements against the government.<\/p>\n
Bainimarama had earlier said that he will lead the charge in parliament and Sayed-Khaiyum will do the same outside parliament.<\/p>\n
This was the statement made by Bainimarama when Sayed-Khaiyum had become a Constitutional Offices Commission member.<\/p>\n
However Sayed-Khaiyum resigned after attending a commission meeting as the Political Parties Act states that any commission member cannot be a member or official of a political party.<\/p>\n
We have also asked for specific responses from the government on the claims and allegations made by Sayed-Khaiyum.<\/p>\n
They will respond later after making a full analysis.<\/p>\n
