Fiji’s Public Service Commission (PSC) has announced the recruitment of a new Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Policing, Immigration, Border, and Cyber-Security. This announcement comes shortly after the recent appointments of Iowane Naivalurua as the Minister for Policing and Viliame Naupoto as the Minister for Immigration. However, it remains unclear which minister will take charge of the responsibilities relating to Border and Cyber-Security.

The PSC’s advertisement emphasizes the significance of this leadership role, indicating that the new Permanent Secretary will be responsible for managing the ministry and providing essential policy support and advice. Interested candidates can request the official job description for more detailed information about the position.

This recruitment effort occurs amidst considerable transitions within Fiji’s governance structure, particularly regarding the policing and immigration sectors. The search for a new Commissioner of Police is also underway following the resignation of Sitiveni Qiliho. This indicates a broader movement towards establishing effective leadership in these crucial areas.

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has recently taken direct control of the Department of Immigration and the Fiji Police Force, reflecting a commitment to accountability and improved governance. As Fiji navigates these administrative changes, there is hope that these leadership transitions will enhance public safety and confidence in governmental operations.

In summary, the selection of a new Permanent Secretary represents a critical step in reinforcing the Ministry’s leadership during a transformative phase in Fiji’s law enforcement landscape. This period of change holds promise for fostering better governance and security for the citizens.
