Registrar refers breaches of the law by National Federation Party to FICAC
11 September 2020
The Fijian Elections Office [FEO] published the irregularities identified in the Financial Disclosures of the National Federation Party [NFP] for the year 2018. It was mentioned that these discrepancies also result in breach of the Political Parties (Registration, Conduct, Funding and Disclosures) Act 2013 [Political Parties Act].
It is noted that some of those breaches constitute offences under the Act and therefore the FEO has today referred the National Federation Party to the Fiji Independent Commission against Corruption in accordance with section 18 of the Electoral Act for allegedly breaching sections 23, 26 and 27 of the Political Parties Act.
