FIJI: Government in 'war of words' with media
Updated
Fiji's Interim Government, and one of its key ministers Mahendra Chaudhry, have become involved in a war of words with the country's media. At the weekend, Fiji's largest selling newspaper, "The Fiji Times" published major allegations about Mr Chaudhry's tax affairs. Mr Chaudhry's denied the claims, and has threatened legal action. The story is the latest in a series of negative reports on the interim government's actions in recent weeks, and now interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama has again accused the media of not doing its job.
