Suva lawyer, Wylie Clarke who is representing Member of Parliament, Manoa Kamikamica says the charges laid by FICAC against Member of Parliament, Manoa Kamikamica are fundamentally flawed, incredibly defective and there is absence of sufficient particulars.

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

He 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 informed Magistrates Charles Ratakele that Kamikamica was served with the charges on October 2nd.

Mausio responded that this is not the right forum to bring these things up.

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

Clarke is now waiting for FICAC's response regarding his request for the withdrawal of charges against Kamikamica.

Mausio says she will respond by tomorrow afternoon.

Kamikamica wasn't present in court as he is still travelling from overseas and will return this evening.

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

Kamikamica's bail hearing is set for 2.30pm this Friday.
