CHAUDHRY Floors BUNE

Well folks, its been a long time coming.

After the grand announcement some 4 months ago of an impending Cabinet re-shuffle, of the imbecile Anendra Prasad claiming to have been offered a Ministership and of intense speculation of who's going and who's staying........it has happened.

POSECI BUNE IS GONE.

Another very important development, FELIPE BOLE IS IN.

This may turn out to be a very crucial day in Fijian history.

Loyal has previously reported on the intense power struggle in the Interim Cabinet between MPC and Poseci Bune, a struggle to the political death. Also read here

MPC has prevailed and PB is gone.

Heres how it happened,

After Bainimarama was coerced into making an anoouncement of a Cabinet Reshuffle, PB played his last remaining card.

He went to the MILITARY COUNCIL. There are still some on the Military Council who were inclined to give PB another go, after all he had served them well post 1987.

And so folks, the Military Council forced Bainimaramas's hand, Bainimarama put off the announcement of a Cabinet reshuffle, the media release which had been drafted and ready for release was stopped.

In the past few months, there has been intense lobbying in the background and MPC prevailed. How?

The 2008 National Budget. Yes. folks ,MPC delivered a budget that even his detractors were forced to acknowledge was a step in the right direction.

The Military Council realised that MPC was much greater value than PB, who lets face it, only entered Parliament last time on a FLP bankrolled and engineered campaign in a safe seat.

Chaudhry KO's Bune

Never ever count Chaudhry out.

Just as it was looking like he was on the way out, he has manged to outmaneuver his nemesis, Mr Poseci Bune.

My mail is that Poseci Bune will be asked to leave his Ministry handing a victory to M.P Chaudhry.

Loyal Fijian has reported here on this blog (read previous posts) about the power struggle between M.P.C and oseci Bune.

Well placed sources have told us that Chaudhry managed to outmaneuver Bune by reminding Bainimarama that he brings a support bloc to the table, Bune brings nothing.

Stay tuned..................

Poseci Bune - Stung by FNA

The decision by some elements in the Fiji Nurses Association to go on strike has been a significant blow to one person in the IG.

And no, its not Bainimarama or even Chaudhry. Its Poseci Bune.

According to well placed sources inside the administration, the inability of Poseci Bune to bring Kuini Lutua around has seen his standing in the inner circle of the IG take a battering.

This is particularly so, as Mahendra Chaudhry had successfully negotiated with the 2 major unions of the FTUC to accept a deal and not go on strike.

The same sources reveal, Poseci Bune was tasked with pulling of a similar deal with the FNA. The IG's strategist believed such a deal as would deprive the anti-IG forces of a springboard from which to launch further destabilising actions.

That Mahend Chaudry and Poseci Bune aren't exactly the best of friends is an open secret and the FNA strike has dealt Poseci Bune another blow.

All this comes at a time when Chaudhry was coming under increasing pressure form within the interim cabinet about the downward slide of the economy. It is believed that Poseci Bune was one of those questioning the way Chaudhry had gone about things.

FNA strike has allowed Chaudhry and co. to regroup and get back on the front foot.

Stay tuned.........

Post Fiji GM Drives off with Vehicle

Post Fiji executive chairperson Fane Vosaniveibuli today made an astonishing disclosure by revealing that the previous managing director of Post Fiji had been given approval by the previous board to take a vehicle belonging to the organisation when he left the company.

The revelation came as Ms Vosaniveibuli came under renewed pressure from Mr Poseci Bune to explain why she had to authorise the purchase of a company vehicle for her use for $69,000.

Mr Bune demanded that Vosaniveibuli give him a "full explanation and at the same time to give her offer of resignation".

Ms Vosaniveibuli in a bid to explain her position made the disclosure that the previous GM had not only driven away with a vehicle that had been purchased by Post Fiji for official use but also been given APPROVAL by the previous board to do so.

Lets get this right:

An individual who was dismissed from his position simply drove out of Post Fiji with an official vehicle and is now the rightful owner of an asset that had been purchased with taxpayers money.

Wheeeeeeewwwwwwww..............Only in Fiji Kai, only in Fiji.............Oileeeiiiiiiii………….
