Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has indicated that he will be discussing the High Court ruling in Cabinet this morning.
Minister for Information, Lynda Tabuya confirmed this to fijivillage News outside the Prime Minister’s Office.
This follows the ruling by High Court Judge, Justice Dane Tuiqereqere, who stated that the dismissal of Barbara Malimali as FICAC Commissioner was unlawful.
Justice Tuiqereqere ruled that the President appoints the Commissioner on the advice of the Judicial Services Commission, and that Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka did not have the authority to dismiss Malimali.
Tabuya says it is a normal Cabinet sitting and not a special one.
When asked about the agenda for today’s discussion, Tabuya says she could not reveal the contents of the Cabinet papers.
Meanwhile, Acting Attorney General Siromi Turaga refused to comment, as he said that he was running late for the Cabinet sitting.
