The actions of Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka have drawn sharp criticism from the Fijian public, who feel insulted by his handling of a serious issue. Many believe he is deceiving the people by allowing the very Cabinet Ministers accused of interference to determine the terms of reference for an upcoming commission of inquiry. Critics question the effectiveness of this commission, suggesting it may merely serve to cover up the scandal rather than address it meaningfully. Furthermore, Rabuka’s claim that “what has been done cannot be undone” and that future lessons will be learned has only added to the frustration, leaving many to wonder about the true purpose of the commission.
