It’s maltreatment. It’s a maltreatment of office that we are taking a gander at in light of the fact that when staff are selected for such positions they should serve the ratepayers and guarantee that the cash that is being depended to them is spent according to the spending plan or according to the conversation with the exceptional heads and the thought is to get an incentive for cash and not waste cash of things that you can evade.”

Kumar says the matter is with the Fiji Independent Commission against Corruption.

“One of the issues that we do have for the Savusavu Town Council was the substitution of a vehicle, a vehicle which was working in a decent condition and it was just two years of age. For what reason would you need to supplant a vehicle and sell that vehicle at a lower cost through a delicate interaction so didn’t sound good to us and such matter is being taken a gander at by FICAC.”

Exceptional Administrator Doreen Robinson says the matter is currently with FICAC and meanwhile, they are zeroing in on different territories.

Kumar says the land was purchased by councilors, their companions and their relatives.

She adds the Savusavu Town Council likewise auctions off another six bunches of prime foreshore to the councilor’s significant other and the councilor’s companions and family members.
