Supervisor of Elections, Mohammed Saneem will be giving evidence in Ratu Isoa Tikoca’s trial today.
Saneem is FICAC’s second witness.
It is alleged that Tikoca failed to declare the liability and the amount of the liability to the Registrar and the Permanent Secretary Responsible for Elections that he had incurred to the Government of Fiji during his tenure as Fiji's High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea in 2009.
Meanwhile, Former Director Corporate Affairs for the Foreign Affairs Ministry Kelera Nuku-tau-maki who is FICAC’s first witness has stood by the amount which she stated in a letter addressed to Tikoca last year.
Defense lawyer, Kitione Vuetaki today put to Nuku-tau-maki that according to their calculations based from sourced documents, Ratu Isoa Tikoca has paid $94,526.73 which is the amount owed.
The defense also put to the witness that according to their calculations based from sourced documents, Tikoca has overpaid the government $4,436.34.
Nukutaumaki replied by saying that she stands by the amount that was written in the letter.
The defense then put to the witness that Tikoca does not owe money to the government.
Nukutaumaki said she disagrees.
Nukutaumaki had said yesterday that Tikoca had used $94,526.73 for his son’s education at St Joseph’s College in Brisbane, Australia.
