Member of Parliament, Manoa Kamikamica

Member of Parliament, Manoa Kamikamica will appear before Suva Magistrate Charles Ratakele in the next hour regarding his bail hearing.

Kamikamica wasn't present in court on Wednesday as he was still travelling from overseas.

He has been charged by FICAC with perjury and giving false information to a public servant.

His lawyer, Wylie Clarke has said the charges laid by FICAC against Kamikamica are fundamentally flawed, incredibly defective and there is absence of sufficient particulars.

Clarke also said that in their submission, they have written to FICAC to withdraw the charges.

He also says during the caution interview, the text messages which were provided as evidence by FICAC was also flawed.

Clarke also raised the matter that Acting FICAC Commissioner, Lavi Rokoika has no power to charge Kamikamica as she was not appointed in accordance with the law.

Principal State Counsel, Lilian Mausio responded that this is not the right forum to bring these things up.

However Clarke has said he will apply for a stay in the proceedings in the High Court.

It will be known today what FICAC will say about the issue of the withdrawal of charges.

Stay with us for developments.
