National Federation Party Leader, Professor Biman Prasad says here we have a COVID crisis in the country with many deaths and Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum finds time to make gutter level attacks against some people at the USP.

Professor Prasad says he is proud of his wife and she is a role model for thousands of girls and women in the country.

He says this gutter level attack is coming from a man who is allegedly practicing nepotism by appointing some of his relatives.

Professor Prasad says his wife, Doctor Rajni Chand holds a PHD in Distance Education and Flexible Learning, and the KPMG Report found that all the appointments including Doctor Chand’s were done properly.

The NFP Leader says the USP Council has regional representatives including people from Australia and New Zealand, and they are dealing with the issues and making decisions.

He says by all means they all want good governance and they can have a Commission of Inquiry but there is a governance structure within the USP, and that should be respected as well.

Professor Prasad says Fiji is also the largest beneficiary for the last 50 years from USP with thousands of students going through the university and even businesses like taxis, shops and flat owners also benefitting from it.

He also says the grant paid to the USP is not the government’s but it is from the Fijian taxpayers.
