Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has revised his earlier statement regarding the appointment of a new Acting Home Affairs and Immigration Minister. Instead, he plans to consult with Pio Tikoduadua upon his return from Australia this week.
Rabuka informed the media that he has yet to receive any official communication from the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration, but is aware of ongoing media reports regarding this situation. He also acknowledged that the police are set to investigate the alleged illegal issuance of passports to members of the Grace Road Group.
The Prime Minister emphasized his intent to meet with Tikoduadua before making any final decisions on the matter. It’s noteworthy that only last week, he mentioned that two senior officials from the Department of Immigration had been placed on leave, indicating significant developments within the ministry.
This situation could bring about important changes in the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration, which may lead to enhanced oversight and accountability within the department. It highlights the government’s responsiveness to potential issues while underscoring the importance of thorough investigations before making drastic administrative changes.
Overall, as Rabuka seeks to clarify the situation, there is hope for a more transparent and efficient governance structure moving forward.
