Shaenaz Voss was not the CEO of Fiji Link when the alleged aviation security breaches she has been charged with took place.
Her lawyer told Nausori Magistrate Viniti Prasad yesterday that he had evidence to support his claim.
That’s the big news on the front page of The Fiji Times for Wednesday, December 13.
In the second story, landowners are opting out of leasing their land for agricultural purposes because they are pocketing a whole lot more from deals with commercial companies.
This is what ITaukei Land Trust Board North regional manager Buinimasi Bese told the farmers during this week’s land consultation in Labasa.
He said with the rapid growth of Labasa Town, landowners are realizing the value of their land was also increasing.
He cited a case where a landowning unit in Labasa was paid $700,000 as premium for an upcoming major investment – and pointed out the land would have fetched a mere $13,000 to $14,000 if it was given out as an agricultural lease.
