Governor on 'holiday'
RESERVE Bank of Fiji governor Sada Reddy is on holiday with his family in New Zealand, deputy governor Barry Whiteside said. Mr Whiteside, however, would not confirm nor deny claims that the central bank was investigating allegations that Mr Reddy transferred a hefty sum of money into his bank account in New Zealand. "That is the truth, Mr Reddy is on holiday. Everyone is entitled to take leave and he is taking leave with his family in NZ," said Mr Whiteside. Asked about the investigations, he responded: "I prefer not to answer those questions, it is more personal. At this time, I can't answer those questions."
