The Tribunal appointed to investigate allegations of misbehavior against the suspended Director of Public Prosecutions, Christopher Pryde, has completed its work and submitted its report to President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu.

The Office of the President says the Tribunal, appointed under Section 112 of the Constitution of Fiji, is chaired by Justice Anare Tuilevuka, with Justice Chaitanya Lakshman and Justice Samuela Qica as the other members.

Ratu Naiqama will need to review the report, undertake consultations, and seek and receive advice on it.

The Office of the President says given that some officials are on Christmas and New Year's leave, these processes have been delayed. They have confirmed that the process will be completed once officials resume work in the New Year.

The Office has acknowledged the requirement under Section 112(6) of the Constitution for the report to be made public, and the President will do so once he has thoroughly considered it.
