The Fiji Labour Party has called on the FICAC to investigate former chairman of South Pacific Fertilizers Limited Jaganath Sami for alleged abuse of office and alleged gross mismanagement leading to current critical financial position of the company.

FLP's Acting General Secretary Lekhram Veishnoyi said Sami must also be answerable to the shareholders of company, the majority shareholders of which are cane farmers for corporate mismanagement and alleged reckless abuse of company funds.

Veishnoyi has stressed that Sami must explain why he resisted a price increase on fertilizers in 2005 even though he knew the company had started trading at a loss.

He adds by the time Sami resigned as chairman in May 2007 South Pacific fertilizer had eroded its accumulated profits of $10 million and owed $8m to the growers fund a debt it had no way of repaying.

Meanwhile, FICAC confirmed that they haven't received any official complaint from FLP as yet. Sami could not be reached for comments.
