Acting Fiji Rugby Union CEO Keni Dakuidreketi will remain in the post after the FRU board last night unanimously decided that he would continue despite calls made for him to step down in light of certain allegations against him.
Dakuidreketi was charged by FICAC for allegedly conspiring with others to defraud the NLTB of $3.7 million and a government grant of $1 million, by causing payments of funds to support an information technology company, Pacific Connex, for installing the IT software MySap.
FRU board chairman Bill Gavoka said the board decided that he has not been found guilty by the court yet and they also believe there is nobody else fit to take Fiji rugby to the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand, other than Dakuidreketi himself.
Gavoka said the board was also disappointed with the stand taken by the Fiji Rugby Union president Ro Filipe Tuisawau, who had earlier said that Dakuidreketi should step down like what former president Sakiusa Tuisolia did when he was charged by FICAC earlier.
Gavoka said the FRU president's role is simply honorary.
