AG responds to question regarding email by Tabuya about him

Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and Lynda Tabuya

Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says it is quite disconcerting that you have certain people in public life who think that it is fine to attack people personally and he says they do not realize what would happen if their families would be involved too.

While responding to a question in a press conference on an email being circulated by Lynda Tabuya that Sayed-Khaiyum brought the Indian variant of COVID to Fiji, a concerned Sayed-Khaiyum says this matter is being personalised and he also says a bit of decency, decorum, finesse and class is required.

When questioned by Fijivillage on the email and Sayed-Khaiyum’s comments, Tabuya says the Attorney General can call her a nincompoop and belittle her for having no health experience, qualifications or acumen, but she says frankly neither does he.

Tabuya says the email in question was private, and not for public consumption and while she says she knows who the SODELPA snitch is that leaked it to a newspaper outlet, the subject matter of the email is of great importance as are the questions which go straight to the question of trust.

She asks why have certain locals been permitted to travel to and from India since the deadly Indian variant was discovered and was the Attorney General on the same flight from Singapore as the couple who had this deadly Indian variant.

Tabuya says Fijians deserve answers to these questions rather than being thrown scraps of selective information.
