Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has expressed his lack of knowledge regarding the recent decision to place Fiji Corrections Commissioner Dr. Jalesi Nakarawa on leave. This announcement was made earlier today. During a media briefing, Mr. Rabuka mentioned that he would only be informed of the reasons behind this decision after being briefed by the Minister for Justice, which is expected to take place this afternoon.

This situation highlights the importance of accountability and due process within governmental institutions. As investigations proceed, it is hoped that they will lead to improvements in operations and governance within the corrections system, ensuring that such incidents are thoroughly addressed and resolved for the betterment of the community.
