Christopher Pryde, recently reinstated as the Director of Public Prosecutions, expressed his gratitude for the Tribunal’s decision that has cleared his name. He acknowledged the support he received during a challenging period and thanked the judges for their ruling, as well as the Fiji Law Society for their valuable assistance as amicus curiae.
Pryde emphasized the significance of the Tribunal’s decision, noting that it contributes important legal principles in this area and offers guidance for constitutional bodies in handling similar situations in the future. He also expressed eagerness to return to his office, reconnect with his team, and collaborate with the new Police Commissioner to enhance the established strong relationship between the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the Police force.
This reinstatement signifies not just a personal milestone for Pryde but also a step forward in reinforcing the integrity and efficacy of the judicial system in Fiji. It demonstrates resilience and the importance of due process in upholding justice.
In these times, efforts to strengthen cooperation between different branches of law enforcement can lead to more effective governance and a safer community, providing hope for a positive future.
