The state counsel in the case against former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, Former Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed -Khaiyum and Former Health Minister Neil Sharma have not objected to bail.

State Counsel Laisani Tabuakuro informed the court that bail conditions include $10,000 cash bail for each of the accused.

The defense counsels for the three accused believe that the $10,0000 cash bail is unreasonable.

Other bail conditions by the State are surrendering of travel documents and reporting to the nearest police station every fortnight.

Bainimarama, Sayed-Khaiyum and Sharma are charged for allegedly failing to comply with statutory requirements for tenders as stipulated under the 2010 Procurement Regulation.

Bainimarama is charged with one count of abuse of office.

Sayed-Khaiyum is charged with one count of abuse of office and one count of obstructing the course of justice.
