News Summary:
On April 21, 2026, the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) gained approval to amend the charge against former Telecom Fiji Limited (TFL) Director Sanjay Kaba on the final day of his trial. The changes included adjusting the date of the alleged offense and replacing the word 'tender' with 'Expression of Interest,' following FICAC's acknowledgment that Kaba resigned on December 7, 2018. This development follows testimony on April 20, when TFL's former Manager Treasury, Samuel Brown, and Financial Controller, Ashika Nandani, both affirmed a $766,327.22 payment to Kaba's company, Houng Lee Kaba Jacob Limited, was legitimate, with Brown stating Kaba held no control over internal payment procedures. Separately, on April 2, Telecom Fiji initiated an offer of free fibre installation for customers in fibre-ready areas, enabling households to save $258.03 on standard setup costs. This move addresses increased demand for reliable home internet, driven by remote work and online study. Earlier, on March 17, the company reported a rise in cable theft, as soaring global copper prices motivated scavengers to target telecom cables for obsolete copper lines.
