I don’t believe the AG’s Office was giving legal advice to PM when Malimali was sacked – Waqanika

Tanya Waqanika, the lawyer for sacked FICAC Commissioner, Barbara Malimali, says she does not believe the Office of the Attorney General was giving legal advice to Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka when Malimali was sacked after the Commission of Inquiry report.

Speaking after the High Court ruling where the application for leave for a judicial review into the decision to sack Malimali was granted, Waqanika says she is not certain on who gave the legal advice to both the President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu and Prime Minister Rabuka.

Waqanika also says she already has indications that more cases will be filed against issues in the Commission of Inquiry report.

We are currently trying to get comments from the Prime Minister.
