The Constitutional Offices Commission (COC) has received a total of 29 applications for the position of Commissioner of the Fiji Police Force. COC chairman and Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka announced this information during a media interview in Tailevu.
Rabuka stated, “The COC will be meeting, and applications have been received. I believe 29 applications will be considered in the next COC meeting.”
The upcoming COC meeting is anticipated to take place after the return of Leader of the Opposition Inia Seruiratu, who is currently in Switzerland with Speaker of the House Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu and Government whip Alitia Bainivalu.
Interest in the role has been shown by several senior police officers, including former ACP Rusiate Tudravu, current acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew, and UN Assistant Secretary-General Unaisi Vuniwaqa.
