John Rabuku has been appointed the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, effective from today.

The Acting DPP, Nancy Tikoisuva, while making the appointment, says that due process was followed for the appointment with an independent panel designated to select the best candidate for the job.

The late Ratu David Toganivalu held the position of Deputy DPP in 2010, and since then, this position has been vacant.

Tikoisuva says Rabuku needs no introduction as he comes with vast knowledge and skills.

She says Rabuku has familiarity with the office, therefore, having him as the Deputy DPP can only add strength and capacity to what they already have as an office.

Rabuku resigned as the Acting Director of Public Prosecutions early this month after the Supreme Court ruled in June that he was not ineligible to be appointed as the DPP.
