First he raided the pensioner's funds - now he's ripping off sugar cane famers.
Meet Frank Bainimarama - Fiji's sugar bandit.
![]() |
Bainimarama steals the hard work of others |
That kudos goes to the Rarawai Penang Cane Producers Association Fair Trade initiative, which allows farmers to accrue premium funds, that are then paid by Tate and Lyle Sugars directly to the Local Cane Producers Associations at a rate of US$60 or F$106 per tonne of sugar produced, in addition to the standard amount paid to Fiji Sugar Corporation.
Habib (centre) replaced at head table |
Questions come to mind: who in the sugar industry or in the government machinery decided to make him the chief guest and give him free publicity?
And why was the
brain-child of the Fair-trade organisation in Fiji, Mohammed Habib, missing from
the head-table at the Ba function? Was his place given to Mary Bainimarama - it sure looks it.
And who are the
people behind the scene pulling strings to make sure the aging dictator gets to attend key
functions like this to prepare him for the 2014 sham of an election?
It's not the Fiji Sugar Cane Growers Association, which outed the regime for misleading people over the sugar stats in a press release a few days ago.
Its general secretary, Bala Dass, has noted it all in the release "Record cane payment - Misleading."
Sadly, the power hungry Bainimarama is playing the most vulnerable in our midst for fools.
This week he gets to dupe his peers in Russia and China where he is spreading more propaganda but one can't feel sorry for them.
Those we should be concerned for are the likes of these poor cane farmers, who are being taken in by the most unscrupulous of dictators - the last sugar daddy anybody would want or trust.

Looks like Bainimarama is playing the Chaundry game - conning the sugar farmers.
I knew he was up to something! everything he does is suspicious to say the least! Fiji is doomed!
This is gang bang of cane farmers - first mahen the 'chorwa' chauhdry, now Frank 'butakolevu' Bainimarama.
Will the farmers ever learn?
Fiji's gullible, where are their heads?

I hate Frank but at list he is stealing from Peter to pay Paul. Unlike the "Jesus" of sugarcane farmers Mahendra Chaudhry who stole the whle $2million given to him by India for the farmers!
Have Frank and Aiyaz stolen someone else's idea?

Hi Mark,
Can u pls concentrate on issues in Aust and why its PM has been courting chinese leaders and investors.
Or its treatment of the refugees.
Guess you have lot of spare time enjoying the dole money supported by the hard earned work of the immigrants.
Hope u setting a good example to your children.
Bala dass is a nobody in the cane belt having lost badly in all the elections he stood.
He is bitter that the farmers are getting $80 and pension something he nor his rival MPC ever achieved.
Those of you who are saying that FB is robbing FNPF to pay FSC and the farmer are plain wrong and can't accept the fact that fb has achieved what none could do before him.
Check fnpf annual account to prove me wrong.
Dole bludgers do have a lot of time on their hand.
Unfortunately they have very little intellect
When I begin collecting the dole, I'll inform you!
Perhaps I should join the RFMF and start collecting envelopes stuffed with $5,000, stolen from Fiji's poor.
Bainimarama will not win the election.He will win his private room in Naboro.
Chillies will be in full supply in Naboro.He will get his own medicine over there.
Gali gali me shor hai mahen chaudhry bardqa chor hai!
Well, all patrons visiting this blog site are fed up with the vote buying that is happening. But that is the beauty of politics .....because what was supposed to have been achieved by elected representatives in past elections from the Chaudhry era to the Qarase era who were more intellectual, it seems they all were stupids when they were elected into office because they cared more about their own pockets and not the livelihoods of their electorates.
For the benefit of my beloved country, I think this is a step in the right direction at least to reward the hard working farmers about their dedication and commitment. Chaudhry...you have lost the plot...for Qarase...its now history....If the current government can solve the land tenure issue, Fiji will be an economy to reckon with in years ahead.
Mahen chaudhry ke baap, beta aur pura khandan chor aur daku hai. Translation: mahen chaudhry's father, son and entire clans are thieves!
Could we have an investigation into sub contractors of China railway, any relation to people in goverment approving the tender process. This are the ones spoiling the fb's name in the disguise of their sons and daughter's.

90% of land belong to the natives ie kai viti ie indigenous for them and their descendants ,,,,its not for refugess or recent arrivals!!
GET THAT INTO YOUR THICK HEAD JUTIA KULINA;
IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GET OUT AND NOTE THAT FRANK IS DELAYING CONSTITUTION TO GET BACK THE LAWS PROTECTING KAI VITI LANDS FROM REFUGEES LIKE YOU AND KAMLESH KUMAR
Hey James Bond, you sending me to mosque. For what?
For your information, I am one of the candidates who was approached to buy his vehicle.

Solicitor Wasu from AG's office is buying Rajen Chaudhary's law firm. Read today's Fiji Sun
Hahahaha this asshole Bainimagasona thinks people are stupid. They will gladly take the cheque and say, silently, FUCK YOU BAINIMAGASONA hehehe
Frank Bainimarama has a hidden agenda and i suspect that it's so well hidden, that he doesn't even know what it is himself. One day he's against the chiefs and Fijian Traditions, the next he seems to be embracing and practising them. One day he's pooling Traditional land, the next stating that he and his Regime are protecting it for Indigenous Fijians.
The reality is, Frank Bainimarama is an insane murderous criminal, a thief in the night. He believes that it is only himself who can save Fiji. Save it from what exactly, no one quite seems to know. The accusations against Mr. Qarase and his government have never been proven and amount to zero. At the same time, he is selling the Qoli Qoli, selling the Mining Resources, selling or exchanging Freehold title land to Chinese of questionable background and has handed over the Mahogany Forests. He puts out his hand and smiles to unsuspecting, gullible and ill informed Village Chiefs buttering them up to gain support, while at the same time, he out manoeuvres them, handing out promises no sane man would even contemplate. One would have to ask, who is ?frank bainimarama's strategist and what is their hidden agenda.
Fiji is all but a failed State, yet many on this blog and others, continue to live in denial, oblivious to the bleeding obvious.
It's simply a matter of time before everything blows up in everyone's face, and sadly, it's only at that point in time that everyone will understand the true extent of the harm which this man and his band master, Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum have done.
But you won't hear any of frank's supporters coming forward admitting that they were mistaken that they have had their heads up their behinds all this time.
It seems the wheels of Justice do move ever so slowly. Fiji, almost $6,000,000,000 in debt now and rising, and given that Fiji's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is only around $1,000,000,000 to $1,400,000,000, it is only a matter of 12 months before the whole Economy comes crashing down. It is imperative now that Frank and aiyaz rest control of the purse strings and Fiji's Financial Institutions, because they need the money to pay off the Soldiers so they in turn, can protect Frank and Aiyaz arses from impending jail.
Mark,
You and rajen naidu are people who are challenged mentally. Instead of talking about what is happening in your backyard, you are talking about things in which u have no expertise.
A classic example of your stupidity is the $10b impact of coup and borrowing $500 of which you give $200 to the farmers. You said that your loan will be $700. I find that baffling as that's class 2 stuff.
Wow Mark I did not realise you had the brain to write such a long post.
But let me get to the point, your numbers on debt and GDP are wrong.
Pls quote your source and not a post on this blog.
KAVITA SHARMA, SO YOU ARE A JILTED LOVER OF CHODRY BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR WAS BEING SOLD TO CLOSE FRIENDS OR JILTED LOVERS....THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME A "DR"...I CAN ONLY WISH I HAD THE BRAINS TO BECOME ONE.
YOU NEED TO GO TO THE MOSQUE TO CLEAN YOUR FILTHY DEGENRATE MIND.....AND LEARN SOMETHING WHOLESOME
James the Ass Bond, why you sending a Hindu to Mosque????
I am fine in my religion but I suggest you think about going there and cleaning whatever you want.
By the way, Rajen Chodri has a van not car...get a life.
Ah , the van Kavita, is this the van that looks like a comodore with the number plate "R"? or is it another vehicle that you know about and no one else. Is the back of the van warm and cosy?
I am looking for a van to buy ..can you fill me in on the details ? It might be a good van to deliver your FRIENDS bottled chutneys in.
You lost the plot BOND....you could be either of ONE....a PHD holder or a Kindy failure.
Comments are surely dwindling on this forum nowadays :)

PHD ...is that "pretty huge dick?"
Yes like the one my Peter has
editor,
We read in the regime mouthpiece newspaper the Fiji Sun (25/5) that the self-appointed PM Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama will shorten his trip to China later this month (how many trips has he made to China? must be a record of some sort!) because he wants to be back in the country for the International Sugar Organisation meeting's preparatory committee's final briefing.
The chairman of the committee and Permanent Secretary for Sugar Lt.Col Manasa Vaniqi told the Fiji Sun that "everything would be ready in the last briefing". He said "one of the changes to be made was that military personnel in Nadi would be meeting and greeting the participants when they arrived". They would also be "using RFMF drivers who are not paid overtime like other government drivers". And finally, the Lieutenant Permanent Secretary has confirmed that " the traditional welcome ceremony would be done by the military".
Anyone still with any doubts about Fiji being under military rule?
sincerely,
rajend naidu

Rajen Naidu
If the RFMF were any more fascist, they'd do the goosestep.
Time to join Dakuwaqa@hushmail.com
No doubts Rajen.... Since the 2006 coup.
We will harp and bark until the cows come home.... It appears ASK and VB have dug-in and not only people's power will be able to remove this lot of conmen and conwomen. It will be the one's that are the foundation of their strength, the RFMF. FULL STOP
This blog has certainly deteriorated in quality over time. It seems as if we are chatting in a high school chat room of some sort with abusive language references to genitals etc. I thought this was about subjective and objective discussions about democracy and the highlighting of the misdeeds of the regime in Fiji. Knowing that people of this intellectual values exist make me very worried about Fiji's future. Frankly i don't see the difference between a cheating lying and abusive dictator and most of you on this blog who purport violence racism nationalism etc and can express your views only with abuse and foul language. Too Anon 9.25 i find your statements classifying Indians as refugees quite insulting. Note this fella. Most of the Indians are leaving Fiji my guess is in about 10 more years the numbers will be so low we wont be a racial force at all. The Indians just want to use the taukei land and pay rent for it. All they wanted was secure tenure over a long term so that economic planning can be done properly. Your lands were never at risk. Your kaivata a fellow i-taukei FB is bringing the Chinese to Fiji in big numbers. China is a nuclear power and has one of the largest armed forces in the world.They will first offer to buy your lands and knowing your greedy chiefs most will sell and then spend the money on Land Cruisers and prostitutes like they have been doing for years. Those they cannot buy they will take by force. Mark my words fella. Enjoy your 90% land while you still can or i forgot let the grass grow on your land while you still can for the Chinese are coming......
anon may 28 4.45pm
bye bye refugee he he
so what if grass is growing thats my land,,,,,,anyway,,,,cows are kept there...
so bugger off and stop interfering with my private land refugee

your racism has blinded you. The greatest danger posed to your land is from your own kind; elites like Laisenia Qarase and Qoriniasi Bale, who did what we all thought was impossible: change native land title and actually sell it to a tourism operator!
Bloody hell, indians have reputation for being cunning, but some Fijians can beat them hands down: pretend to go to church, act innocent and holy-holy, pray loud and hard, pretend not to love money, but under the facade as greedy and cunning as any top conman - talk about wolves in sheep skin!
The native landowner were victim of daylight robbery by their own kind claiming to act in their interest. They were persuaded to exchange their prime land for a piece fo shit land, not by Indian refugees, but by itaukei and kaivalagi.
open your fucking eyes man.
Indians are are spent force politically, if they ever were a force in first place. As someone said, there will be no more Indians in 15-20 years to scapegoat mate.
For those commenting about land tenure. Please wake up, we need to develop the land [not steal it from its traditional owners ] in order to prosper. 3rd world countries are enjoying the benefits today because they developed their land. THe ownership issue will always rest with the iTaukei - there's no two ways about that. But we need to develop the land so that economically we can grow, which in turn will mean our per capita will increase, more buying power on our dollar. So wake up....our land needs to be developed ...whether its through the current regime or another govt...that's what we need to do after the elections.
I don't think China has Nuclear capability yet, at all, not even for power stations!
Mark. China has nuclear capability.
Mark, pls pls pls leave us alone. You make a fool of yourself. You are a disgrace to the aussies and the poms.
Pls pls give us some peace.
Yeah Mark, stick to aged care nursing or whatever jobs you use to do. i understand you have self graduated yourself through correspondence courses to be a hynotherapist. Looks like you have hynotised yourself into an idiotic frenzy of hatred and stupidity. This blog is simply full of hatred, myopic views and ill-informed comments. Its interesting how you want to offer in-depth analysis of Fiji's affairs which you have zero experience or knowledge of. wow, hynotherapist, eh?

ANON 4.55 I have a lot to say to you but from your comments it is very easy to recognize a mental case. All i am going to say though is this. The i-taukei's own all the land in Fiji but the i-taukei meaning one i- taukei for someone as stupid as you own nothing nada 0. And that is why most of you remain poor. Your land is useless without a title which is what you need to raise capital. Good Luck with you land by the way.
We read in the regime mouthpiece newspaper the Fiji Sun (29/5) that "[Permanent-Secretary for Sugar] Lieutenant-Colonel [Manasa} Vaniqi confirmed the Ministry does not like to be engaged in politics as past politicians had politicised the sugar industry for their personal benefit".
What a farcical thing for a political appointee of the military regime to say!
@ anon 1222a.m.
Look into my eyes and begin to count from 10 to 1 backwards, but 1st. take 3 deep breaths!
Good English by the way, but it has little meaning when it means nothing!
I'm tempted to ask how much Frank is paying you for your support or what bribes he is giving you.
Anybody know more about this spreading of disinformation?
Sugar Cane Farmers By MAIKA BOLATIKI
An employee of the Ministry of Sugar has been caught spreading false information to discredit the good work made by the Government in the sugar industry.
This was confirmed to Fiji Sun yesterday by the Permanent Secretary for Sugar, Lieutenant-Colonel Manasa Vaniqi.
Lieutenant-Colonel Vaniqi said:
“The sad thing is the worker was telling people that all the good work done in the Ministry of Sugar was that of the Fiji Labour Party leader, Mahendra Chaudhry.
“This is serious, especially when the employee knows of all the positive developments the Government has done for the Fiji Sugar Corporation.”
Lieutenant-Colonel Vaniqi confirmed the Ministry does not like to be engaged in politics, as past politicians had politicised the sugar industry simply for their personal benefit.
He is looking into the matter, but he could not say what action the Ministry would take
BULA Y'ALL... PLIS NOTE THAT THE BAINIAMARAMA GVT PEOPLE IS ALSO USING THIS FORUM TO MAKE IT LOOK STUPID... BE AWARE OF THAT...
The Bainimarama government people have a lot of practice making things look stupid, whether they mean to or not.
unfortunately too many fools in Fiji so it all looks good.
