The Director of Immigration, Amelia Komaisavai, has been placed on leave, as confirmed by her office. Reports indicate that her leave took effect as of yesterday. Inquiries have been directed to the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration to clarify whether this decision is connected to the Minister’s recent remarks concerning the passport issuance for members of the Grace Roads Group.
This situation underscores the ongoing scrutiny within government departments regarding administrative processes and oversight. It could be seen as an opportunity for the Ministry to review its practices and ensure transparency and accountability in its dealings. The resolution of this matter may ultimately lead to strengthened protocols and improved governance in immigration matters.
