COME BACK TO SUVA CAMPUS. USP Council overwhelmingly decided in vote for PAL Ahluwalia to return to Fiji. It was 21 to 4, with one abstention

*According to highly reliable sources, Pal Ahluwalia is 'running out of friends in the USP Council'. 
*In a heated meeting of the USP Council, he was 'put in his place'.
*Pacific Islands Forum  representative abstained as usual. 
*Of the 4 negative votes, two USP professors (Gurmeet Singh and Bibhya Nand Sharma) appointed by Ahluwalia, voted with Samoa and Nauru for him to remain in Samoa.
*The Tongan Prime Minister led the charge against Ahluwalia and the VC's side-kick BIMAN PRASAD was not at the meeting to defend Ahluwalia. The re-instated Education Minister Aseri Radrodro attended the USP Council meeting on behalf of the Coalition government.

From Fijileaks Archive, 28 May 2023

*BIMAN PRASAD is refusing to answer whether HIS WIFE was aware (via Pillow Talk) that the Coalition Cabinet was going to set aside $500,000 for Girmit Celebrations, hence Rajni and Ganesh Chand ran and re-registered the defunct Global Girmit Institute.
*The GGI was approved the next day, and it went on to organise the two-day international girmit conference at USP.
*Was Prasad aware that his wife was running around, registering the de-registered GGI, which had failed to submit its audited accounts.
*Ahluwalia, who was the Chief Speaker, is yet to answer questions (see below) regarding the famous Nixonian question: When did he know that Rajni was a GGI trustee, and what did he know about the GGI?
*Was USP paid to host the conference? How much?
Fijileaks to USP Vice-Chancellor PAL AHLUWALIA, 15 May 2023
Apologies dost.

1. Were you aware when you accepted the invitation from GGI that Biman's wife Rajni was one of three trustees who registered the de-registered GGI on 23 February 2023 shortly after Biman announced the $500,000 for the Girmit celebrations?

2. Did the USP charge the GGI to host the conference, and if so, how much will be billed to the GGI?

3. What is the explanation for such a magnanimous gesture if it was free?

4. What action will USP take against Rajni or will you launch your own separate inquiry into her association with the Global Girmit Institute?

Most people, especially Indo-Fijians, are appalled by my revelations, and more to follow later.

​Regards
Victor

*The Mahmood Khan report alleged that the Director Assurance and Compliance at USP, DORIS DULARI TRAILL, was given an inducement allowance of 50% by VCP Pal Ahluwalia.
*This was given contrary to Ahluwalia's own stance against issuing of inducement allowances.
*Traill was on an annual salary of $124,386, and then given an inducement allowance of $63,693, taking her total salary to $188,079.
*According to the 'Mahmood Khan Report' she got the allowance while compiling a report alleging corruption on the part of others in receipt of much smaller allowance.
​*The Report also alleged that Traill was given a one year extension by Ahluwalia at the end of her contract from May 28, 2020 to May 26, 2021 on the same salary of $188,079 which included the 50% inducement allowance.
