If we had mismanaged FNPF funds in 2006, we should be taken to task but release the audited report - Anare Jale

SODELPA MP Anare Jale is asking the Government to release the audit report that was conducted by an Australian Audting company about the Fiji National Provident Fund affairs which had him and his board removed from their position after the coup of 2006.

The member of parliament before making his contribution to the motion by Alvick Maharaj on the ‘Review of Audit Report on the Procurement of Biomedical Equipment – Ministry of Health and Medical Services and the Audit of Rural Postal Offices Quarterly Returns’, addressed an issue that was raised by the Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum in his right of reply.

He claimed Sayed-Khaiyum has been insinuating and implying that he as the Chairman of the FNPF board in 2006 and his board members had done some mismanagement in the operation and matters concerning Momi and also the members' funds.

Jale says this is an attack on him and his board and their names and reputation has been tarnished because of the claims.

The SODELPA MP says the military government at the time commissioned an audit company from Australia to audit FNPF affairs.

He says the report has been given to the government and until now it hasn't been made public.

Jale adds if they had done something wrong then they should be held accountable for it but the report should be made public so that all FNPF members in Fiji and abroad can know what really happened.
