I was so disgusted reading Justice Nazhat Shameem's public admission on her failure as DPP to persecute those involved in the NBF scam! So whats coming next in the years down the line - an apology for her role in the illegal suspension of the Chief Justice Daniel Fatiaki?
Sounds familiar today doesn't it? Replace NBF with QEB and the manipulation of the justice system and the country's finances and its same old same old.
An Anti-Corruption Commission is an excellent venue for corruption issues and has been a long time coming but not only does it need the criteria listed by the apologetic Ms Shameem, it must be emphatic in its independence and led by people of high moral and professional ethics which can be likened to looking for a needle in the haystack amongst Fiji's current illegal regime - and this is the same group who nominates members of the Commission?
Forget it! - Any commission or board elected by this illegal regime will neither by independent nor honest!
Its like pissing against the wind!!

Witch Hunt of A Megalomaniac
The media is certainly running rings around the interim government and the military to wit.
I suppose carting members of the media to the 'torture chambers' at QEB for questioning is becoming the norm.
Yesterday saw William Parkinson and Vijay Narayan taken to QEB. These two are long time media stalwarts well known for their unbiased take on the news and current events. Before that was Mesake Koroi another media personality also well known for making his views known whether they be left or right wing. Other lesser known reports and photographers have walked the plank since.
Obviously freedom of the press is no more...
In other news related to the media, a public forum site on Fijivillage was taken offline yesterday because comments on the site were considered inflammatory. Can this get any worse? Are officers of the anti-corruption unit aware that a public forum site means exactly that - a site where the public is given a forum to voice their opinions.
Besides, shutting down the site is pretty stupid. With the amount of bloggers springing up - the site will be hosted elsewhere in no time. And it doesn't solve anything except try to salvage the egos of meglomaniacs
