In response to the party’s statement, Leung emphasized his respect for the COI’s independence and his ongoing commitment to support its mandate as outlined in its Terms of Reference.

This incident underscores the significance of maintaining transparency in inquiries of public interest, as well as the role of government officials in upholding the integrity of such processes. It’s crucial to remember that allegations can often arise in politically charged environments, but the commitment to truth and accountability remains paramount.

In summary, Attorney-General Graham Leung has dismissed accusations from the Fiji Labour Party regarding interference with the COI’s operations, reaffirming his role as a witness in the inquiry.
