JSC fails to have quorum to meet, President yet to act on recommendation for Rokoika to leave FICAC

JSC fails to have quorum to meet, President yet to act on recommendation for Rokoika to leave FICAC

The Judicial Services Commission did not have their scheduled meeting in Suva today after they could not reach a quorum.

Chief Registrar and JSC Secretary, Tomasi Bainivalu says they will have a meeting at the end of the month.

No reason was given on why they could not reach a quorum.  

The JSC was supposed to meet today after giving their recommendations to the President last Monday that the Acting FICAC Commissioner, Lavi Rokoika should leave her office as she was not legally appointed.

Although the JSC has given it's recommendations, President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu has not acted on it.

When asked by fijivillage News on Monday, the President said he is still waiting for the response from the JSC.

The JSC says they are committed to upholding the rule of law, maintaining the independence and integrity in it's decision making process. 

We have also asked the President to clarify to the people of Fiji on when he will act on the recommendations of the JSC.

We have also asked whether he is getting legal advice and from who.

We have been informed that the President has asked the JSC to include a severance payout for Rokoika and an opportunity for her to reapply for the FICAC post.

This question has also been posed to the President.

We have also asked if this is correct, and why is this being asked when the JSC as the constitutional body has said that Rokoika should leave her office as she was not legally appointed.

The President has not made any comments.

Stay with us for developments.
