The Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations, Livai Driu, has confirmed that a report has been officially filed at the Totogo Police Station regarding explicit content related to Member of Parliament Lynda Tabuya, which has been circulated on social media without her consent. This complaint was made directly by Tabuya, prompting an investigation by the Cyber Crime unit.
In a related development, Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka made the decision to dismiss Lynda Tabuya from her position as Minister for Women, Children, and Social Protection. He invoked Section 92(3)(b) of the Constitution, clarifying that this choice was not made lightly. While Tabuya has stepped down from her ministerial role, she will retain her seat as a Member of Parliament.
This situation highlights the ongoing challenges surrounding personal privacy in the digital era, particularly for public figures. It also underscores the importance of accountability and the legal protections available for individuals whose personal content is shared without their consent.
In summary, Lynda Tabuya has lodged a police complaint regarding a leaked video, while also facing dismissal from her ministerial duties by the Prime Minister. Despite these challenges, she continues to hold her position as a parliamentarian, indicating a resilience to carry on her public service.
