The Fijian Teachers Association has terminated its General Secretary Maika Namudu. FTA President Gauna Halofaki says the termination was decided over the weekend based on legal advice they received. “After the deliberations, we sent the result to our legal adviser who also came up with his opinion during the full executive meeting and from there, the group executive decided that we terminate him on those grounds yes.” According to Halofaki, the writing was the wall, prior to his termination Namudu was suspended pending an investigation into allegations of improper conduct… “And also something that also added onto that was the bad name that he made with our council of Pacific Education, the COPE, also went out to the COPE and stopped all affiliation from us, not to attend any of the seminars, the others, also Education International, that’s our parent body for all the teacher unions in the world, he also went right out there, this is quite not good for FTA, especially gone out during the time he was on pay with leave, he was doing these damaging messages all around the place.” Repeated attempts to contact Namudu were unsuccessful when this bulletin was prepared. Halofaki says an interim general secretary has been appointed with the position to be advertised soon. - See more at: fbc.fj/fiji/26375/namudu-sacked-#sthash.SfTAIErI.dpuf
