There is confirmation tonight that Fiji Sports Council CEO, Gilbert Vakalalabure's driver came back to the office to try and take some items after the announcement this afternoon that Vakalalabure and Manager Operations, Litia Senibulu have been sent on leave pending independent investigations.

We have been told that some files were loaded into the CEO's official vehicle and were stopped by security.

The staff say they took photos of the Manager Operations allegedly seen in the CEO's office, handing files to the CEO's driver, who then went out the side door to load it in the CEO's vehicle.

The driver was told by the security not to take the vehicle and to wait for a Board member to arrive to verify the documents in the vehicle.

When fijivillage News contacted Fiji Sports Council Deputy Chairman, Peter Mazey, he said he has been advised about this and that is why a Council Board member and security are there to confirm no Fiji Sports Council documents or files are being removed. 

Mazey says they too have photos and hopefully are on top of it. 

He says the only items they are permitted to remove are personal which is being checked by the security and a Board member on site. 

Mazey says computer forensics will be checking on any entry and removal of data.

He adds it is good that staff are already working with the Board.

The independent investigation into the Fiji Sports Council CEO and Manager Operations starts tomorrow.

Stay with us for developments.
