The Office of the President has announced that the report from the Tribunal concerning allegations of misconduct against the suspended Director of Public Prosecutions, Christopher Pryde, will not be publicly released at this time. The Tribunal, led by Justice Anare Tuilevuka and including Justices Chaitanya Lakshman and Samuela Qica, has finalized its investigation and submitted the findings to President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu.
Following the submission, the President will take the time to review the report, engage in consultations, and seek advice before making it public. However, due to the holiday season, this review process is expected to extend into the New Year.
The Office has stated that the report is not required to be disclosed at present, as outlined in section 112(6) of the Constitution. The President will ensure a careful consideration of the findings before any possible release. Additionally, Mr. Pryde has made a formal request to the Office of the President, seeking access to the report.
It’s essential for the judicial process to unfold carefully and thoughtfully, ensuring all parties are considered. While the delay may cause frustration, it also reflects a commitment to thoroughness in governmental proceedings. This approach indicates a system striving for integrity and justice, offering a hopeful perspective on how serious allegations are handled.
In summary, while the details of the inquiry into Christopher Pryde remain confidential for the time being, the procedural steps being taken show a dedication to justice and proper governance.
