Action against other Ministers only if investigations find culpability in their actions discovered in COI

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says he will only take action against other cabinet ministers if the result of any subsequent investigations find culpability in their actions discovered in the cause of the Commission of Inquiry.

While responding to fijivillage News on whether he is planning to take action against any other cabinet ministers after the Commission of Inquiry report, Rabuka says the Commission of Inquiry into the appointment of Barbara Malimali as FICAC Commissioner, was not adversarial, it was inquisitorial.

According to the Commissions of Inquiry Act, no evidence taken under the Act shall be admissible against any person in any civil or criminal proceeding whatsoever, except in the case of a person charged with false interpretation, or with giving false evidence before the Commissioners.

Meanwhile Prime Minister Rabuka confirms he is meeting the Deputy Prime Ministers tomorrow.

He says he is unaware of the agenda of the meeting as the Deputy Prime Ministers have asked for the meeting.
