Leaked report is done by some people with ulterior motives - Deputy PM

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Cooperatives and SMEs Manoa Kamikamica and Barbara Malimali

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Cooperatives and SMEs Manoa Kamikamica stresses that the appointment of Barbara Malimali as FICAC Commissioner was solely the decision of the Judicial Services Commission and not Cabinet.

While speaking to the media, Kamikamica confirms no specific Cabinet meeting was held for the appointment of Malimali when he was Acting Prime Minister.

He says he has not seen the full report and will await the Prime Minister to release it.

Kamikamica urges the people of Fiji to think about how the report has been handled and wait for it to be released.

When asked about the report being leaked to the public, the Deputy Prime Minister says the leak is a concern as the people of Fiji are only seeing one side of the story.

Kamikamica says they will await the release of the report so those people named in the report can say their side of the story.

He says the accuracy of what is in that report is up for debate.

He says this is done by some people who have ulterior motives, and it's disrespectful to the Prime Minister and the President.
