(G) Statement on Pramod Rae "Leak" by Jone Dakuvula


See my earlier posting "How to Stir the Pot by Pramod Rae"

"The person that has provided information to Fiji Live of the names of those recommended by the Commonwealth and United Nations has dishonoured the specific request from the United Nations Secretary General and the Commonwealth Secretary General (so stated in their letter) that confidentiality must be respected by political parties and stakeholders in the political dialogue process.

It was the National Federation Party spokesman Pramod Rae who first leaked the letter of the United Nations and Commonwealth Secretary General to the media last week claiming he was legally obliged to do so and that it was in the interest of the media to know.

If this type of leakage to the news media of confidential information provided by the United Nations and Commonwealth continues, then political parties should not be surprised if the UN and Commonwealth decide to withdraw as independent mediators.

The person or political party responsible for this will then be responsible for undermining the political dialogue they have been calling for. This concern has been expressed in a letter to Political parties from the Secretariat.

Jone Dakuvula, Co-Ordinator.

POSTSCRIPT. I note the Fiji Times in reporting Mr Dakuvula's comments added the "confidential" names of the nominees. Click here
