The director of the Immigration Department, Amelia Komaisavai, has been placed on leave while investigations are conducted regarding the improper issuance of Fijian passports to the children of two members from the Grace Roads Church. Additionally, it is reported that the manager of the passport division has also been sent on leave in connection with this matter.
The Minister of Home Affairs and Immigration, Pio Tikoduadua, has called for a thorough investigation to clarify how these passports were issued without his knowledge or authorization.
This incident highlights the necessity for transparency and adherence to protocol within government agencies, particularly in matters as sensitive as immigration. Investigations like this serve as a reminder of the importance of accountability in public service, potentially leading to reforms that could prevent similar issues in the future.
With the right steps taken, this situation could pave the way for a more vigilant and responsible immigration system, ensuring that such misunderstandings do not occur again.
