FRFU was just making sure there wasn’t undue influence in board election by keeping nominees out - Mazey

The Fiji Rugby Football Union Board was just trying to make sure that there wasn't any undue influence on any of the voting during the election of the Fiji Rakaviti Football Union Limited Board members today and that is why none of the nominees were allowed to attend the Annual General Meeting today.

This was highlighted by FRFU Trustee Peter Mazey when asked by fijivillage News why the nominees were not allowed to attend the meeting and make a presentation on why they should be elected.

Mazey says during the elections, the politicians do not usually stand around waiting to do a presentation.

Member of the FRFU Board of Trustees, Jenny Seeto says they had asked the nominees or the candidates to provide a write-up on themselves and it was on the circular that was handed out to the attendees of the AGM today.

Some of the nominees that were seen sitting outside the meeting were Swire Shipping Fijian Drua CEO Mark Evans who was nominated for the Commercial Director’s position, and former Flying Fijians winger and current Ba Rugby Union coach Vilimoni Delasau, who was nominated for the Rugby Director’s position.

Former Acting CEO of FRU, Tevita Tuiloa has been elected as a Commercial Director along with John Sanday.

Cathy Wong has been elected as the Women’s Director.

The Legal Director is Mosese Naivalu and the Finance Director elected is Anare Manulevu.

The Rugby Directors elected are Koli Sewabu and Conway Begg.
