Amelia Komaisavai, the Director of Immigration, has been placed on leave as part of an investigation concerning the issuance of passports to children connected to the ongoing human rights allegations against the Grace Road group. This decision was made by Mason Smith, the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration.
Sources suggest that the action to send Ms. Komaisavai on leave is linked to a broader effort to scrutinize the policies and decisions surrounding passport issuance amid serious allegations. The situation has also led to Home Affairs and Immigration Minister Pio Tikoduadua voluntarily stepping aside while police conduct their investigations.
This developing story highlights the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability in handling sensitive immigration matters. As the inquiry unfolds, it is expected that further details will emerge, reflecting the ministry’s dedication to upholding the integrity of immigration processes.
In a positive light, this situation could lead to significant reforms within the immigration system, ensuring that policies are enforced with greater scrutiny and fairness in the future.
