Fiji’s Minister for Justice, Siromi Turaga, has announced that a Cabinet Paper is currently being prepared to comprehensively investigate the glitch that occurred during the 2022 General Election. In a statement to FijiLive, Turaga noted that he will provide a public update after discussing the matter with Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka.
This announcement comes after Supervisor of Elections Ana Mataiciwa expressed concerns that her office has not received any updates from the Office of the Attorney-General regarding the investigation into the election glitch, which has remained unresolved since last May. Mataiciwa emphasized the importance of resolving these issues to restore confidence in the electoral process, stating that her office is prepared to collaborate and provide necessary information for the audit.
This development indicates that the Fijian government is taking the issues surrounding the election seriously and is committed to transparency. Resolving the glitch could not only restore public trust in the electoral system but also ensure smoother future elections in the country.
In summary, the preparation of a Cabinet Paper for investigating the 2022 election glitch reflects Fiji’s dedication to electoral integrity and accountability. It’s hopeful that this initiative will pave the way for greater electoral transparency and confidence among the Fijian electorate.
