The two were employed as General Manager and Deputy General Manager.

Magistrate Kaweendra Nayankkara then asked if the matter could be transferred when Nemani returns from New Zealand who was on medical leave.
However, FICAC Lawyer Laisa Lagilevu then said that the matter be transferred anyway, as it will make no difference if they wait for Nemani.
