SODELPA MP’s Ratu Suliano Matanitobua, Niko Nawaikula, Salote Radrodro, Peceli Vosanibola and Simione Rasova had earlier pleaded not guilty to their charges of giving false information to a public servant and obtaining financial advantage.

Another SODELPA MP, Adi Litia Qionibaravi who is also charged with the two offences was not present in court today as she is ill.
