The upcoming hearing for Ledua Matai, a former military accounts officer, and his wife, Taucilagi Duri, is scheduled for July 15 and 16 next year. Matai is facing charges of abuse of office, while Duri is accused of aiding and abetting this offense. These charges stem from Matai’s previous role as an accounts officer with the Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF).
The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) alleges that Matai neglected to declare his personal interest in a business called Ink Escape Supplies prior to establishing it as a vendor for the RFMF. This case underscores the importance of transparency and accountability within government positions and will be closely watched as it progresses through the legal system.
