The Suva Magistrate’s Court has acquitted former Telecom Fiji Ltd and Amalgamated Telecom Holdings board member Sanjay Kaba.
Magistrate Charles Ratakele upheld Mr Kaba’s no-case-to-answer application, ruling that the prosecution had failed to prove the elements of the offence.
FICAC alleged Mr Kaba, between January 27, 2017, and January 2019, while being a board member of TFL and ATH Ltd, engaged in a conduct namely using information and influence obtained by virtue of his position to procure the submission of a tender through Houng Lee Kaba Jacob Pie Limited, a company in which he was a director and shareholder.
It was also alleged that as a result, Mr Kaba obtained $766,327.22 between June 2022 and July 2023, knowing or believing that HLK Jacob was not eligible to receive that financial advantage.
Mr Kaba is represented by Lawyers Devanesh Sharma, Gul Fatima and Wasu Pillay.
