Former FijiFirst General Secretary and Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum is back in the country after undergoing serious medical procedures in Singapore.
The Suva Magistrates Court had granted variation to his bail conditions in September to allow him to leave the country.
He was ordered to return his passport to the court registry in October, however an application for further bail variation was granted by the court as he was still undergoing medical procedures.
Sayed-Khaiyum’s charge relates to a report lodged by the Acting Supervisor of Elections, Ana Mataiciwa. It is alleged that Sayed-Khaiyum between June 30th and July 12th last year, while being the Acting Prime Minister, signed a Deed of Variation and Addendum between the Government and the then Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem.
It is alleged the approval for the government to pay the taxes of Saneem was done without the proper approval of the Constitutional Offices Commission and the President.
The matter has been adjourned to January 16th next year.
