Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka and FICAC Commissioner, Barbara Malimali

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says if the FICAC Commissioner, Barbara Malimali feels that her staying on in the position would be interfering with the investigation of the Commission of Inquiry, then she is a senior lawyer and she should know what is in the best interest of everyone.

Rabuka says the normal process is a person carries on if that person is under investigation but once you are charged, you step down.

When asked by fijivillage News, Rabuka says the steps to be taken for the Commission of Inquiry have to be urgent.

He says he will ensure the terms of reference covers the serious allegations regarding the FICAC Commissioner appointment, the pending investigation against the Commissioner and some of the cabinet ministers.

When asked on what happens to the issue of alleged interference by some cabinet ministers where former Acting Deputy FICAC Commissioner, Francis Puleiwai claimed that she was being contacted by some ministers whether they also had complaints against them, and what happens to the cabinet ministers, Rabuka only said he will ensure all the matters are covered in the terms of reference for the Commission of Inquiry.
