There are revelations that the previous cabinet in June 2006 had converted 68.7 hectares of i-taukei land to a Crown grant which is freehold land for the Momi Bay Resort project.
While speaking in a draft constitution session, Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum publicly revealed the signed cabinet documents from June 2006 which shows the then Minister for Fijian Affairs and Lands took the paper up for discussion which was approved in a cabinet meeting on the 4th of July, 2006.
Sayed-Khaiyum said although the native land related laws were entrenched at the time and clearly prevented anyone from converting i-taukei land to a Crown grant or freehold land, this was done in this case.
The land was swapped with freehold land that the developers gave to the state.
