Fiji’s Leadership Under Fire: Is Integrity Just a Mirage?

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka is facing criticism for allegedly deceiving the Fijian people. Observers have noted his tendency to reverse decisions, as he has now placed the very Cabinet Ministers accused of interference in charge of determining the terms of reference for an upcoming commission of inquiry. Critics argue that this approach undermines the integrity of the investigation, especially after Rabuka asserted that “what has been done cannot be undone,” suggesting it serves merely as a lesson for the future. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the commission, with concerns it may serve more to obscure the scandal than to address it.
