Sayed-Khaiyum needs to grow up – Kamikamica

Deputy Prime Minister, Manoa Kamikamica has called on the former Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum to look at the FijiFirst accounts and the mess he has created in the party and the country after Sayed-Khaiyum attacked Kamikamica for saying that the FijiFirst is technically insolvent and that Kamikamica does not really engage his intellect before speaking in a goofy way.

Sayed-Khaiyum claims the FijiFirst’s liabilities as at 31st December 2022 has decreased as they have been provided funding by donors.

He then went on to say that if we follow Kamikamica’s definition, then his main partner in the coalition government, SODELPA is also insolvent as they also have a net deficit situation.

Sayed-Khaiyum says Kamikamica should look at the SODELPA accounts.

Kamikamica has hit back in a zoom interview with fijivillage News saying that accountants can talk about this clearly, and the facts are clear that a party that ruled Fiji for over 8 years has more liabilities than their assets.

Kamikamica says the audited accounts of the FijiFirst is echoing what has happened to the country during their rule.

He says when the budget comes out, it will show the previous government was hiding some liabilities and it is for this government to pay for.

Kamikamica says Sayed-Khaiyum can call him goofy or whatever he wants to call him but the facts are all there for the people of Fiji to see, and they know now for certain that Sayed-Khaiyum was never a proper financial manager.

He says 6 months out of office and the FijiFirst can’t manage their finances.

Kamikamica says it is a damning indictment on the FijiFirst and the General Secretary, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

He also says if Sayed-Khaiyum is saying he had collected some funds, the auditors will normally put a disclosure in the audit report that more money was collected after December 31st 2022, but that is not highlighted in the report.

Kamikamica also says for SODELPA, they know they have had challenges with funding and the party’s supporters are fundraising.

He also says you cannot compare the FijiFirst with SODELPA, and Sayed-Khaiyum needs to grow up.

Kamikamica says SODELPA is a resilient party and they will finance their own party with donations from supporters.
