Investigations into the contentious appointment of lawyer Barbara Malimali as the Commissioner of FICAC have officially commenced. Supreme Court Judge David Ashton-Lewis has been designated as the sole Commissioner to lead the inquiry, with esteemed senior barrister Janet Mason providing assistance.

According to a statement from the government, the commission’s scope will include an examination of whether Ms. Malimali’s appointment was subject to unlawful or improper influences from vested interests.

This development indicates a commitment to transparency and accountability within the government and its institutions. By investigating the circumstances surrounding Malimali’s appointment, authorities aim to bolster public trust and ensure that appointments to significant positions are conducted fairly and without external pressures.

As the investigation progresses, there is a hopeful outlook that it will set a precedent for future appointments, thereby reinforcing the integrity of the selection processes within the government.
