Fiji’s Prime Minister Under Fire: A Commission or a Cover-Up?

It is a significant affront to the people of Fiji that Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka continues to mislead the public. In a move characterized by his usual evasiveness, he is now allowing the very Cabinet Ministers accused of interference to determine the terms of reference for the inquiry commission and any subsequent actions that may arise. Furthermore, he has stated that “what has been done cannot be undone,” suggesting that this situation will merely serve as a lesson for the future. This raises the question of the purpose of the commission if it is merely established to obscure the scandal rather than address it.
