Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says as a matter of courtesy, Fiji Corrections Commissioner, Doctor Jalesi Nakarawa should have informed Minister for Justice, Siromi Turaga regarding the early release of former Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama.

While speaking to fijivillage News, Rabuka says he has retrospectively looked at the chronological sequence of events related to Commissioner Nakarawa, and the release of Bainimarama, and has rued the fact that, although not dictated by statutes, the Commissioner should have, purely as a matter of courtesy, informed the Minister, who would have informed the Prime Minister.

Rabuka says this would avoid the question asked by the people whether the government’s left hand knows what the right hand is doing.
