Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka is facing criticism for his handling of the situation involving the commission of inquiry. Critics argue that it is a grave disrespect to the Fijian people, as the Prime Minister appears to be misleading the public. He is now allowing the very Cabinet Ministers accused of interference to determine the terms of reference for the inquiry and any subsequent actions.
Additionally, Rabuka has stated that “what has been done cannot be undone,” suggesting that the situation serves as a lesson for the future. This raises questions about the purpose of the commission if it is perceived as an attempt to cover up the scandal.
