Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka met with the Commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, Major General Ro Jone Kalouniwai and Minister for Defence, Pio Tikoduadua regarding the Commander’s concerns about the Commission of Inquiry report into the appointment of Barbara Malimali as FICAC Commissioner.
Rabuka confirms he has been communicating directly with the Commander on how he is dealing with the COI report.
Rabuka makes it clear that Chapter 7 has some people named in the Commission of Inquiry report, and this cannot be disclosed publicly.
He says according to the recommendation of the report, it is up to the investigating arms of the government to carry out the investigation.
Rabuka says if the details were not redacted, it could compromise the investigations and jeopardise the positions of those names.
Major General Kalouniwai did not say anything when he walked into the building and when he left after the meeting.
The meeting lasted for about 1 hour.
Prior to this, Police Commissioner, Rusiate Tudravu was seen leaving the Government Buildings after a meeting.
