Termination of Sharvada Sharma’s appointment sets a new low for rule of law – Prof Prasad

Termination of Sharvada Sharma’s appointment sets a new low for rule of law – Prof Prasad

National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad.

The National Federation Party says the termination of Sharvada Sharma’s appointment as Solicitor General is unconstitutional and sets a new low for rule of law, even by the low standards of the FijiFirst Government.

Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad says the constitution is clear that the Solicitor General can only be removed for misbehaviour after the President is advised by an independent tribunal that he is guilty of misbehaviour.

Professor Prasad says the Solicitor General cannot be summarily sacked.

He says the Government has now abandoned any pretence of following the very constitution that it imposed on the rest of the people.

Professor Prasad says Government refuses to follow even the rules that it has made.
