‘Letters To The Editor’: PM Rabuka’s Prerogative

PM Rabuka does not recognize or respect our Constitution, which he swore on oath during his appointment as PM, and that is why he has appointed Filimoni Vosarogo as Attorney-General in place of Siromi Turaga.

He can reshuffle his Cabinet as and when it suits him, even without consulting his Cabinet members.

It may come as a shock to some of them, but they have to be ready 24/7 like a military officer, and that’s the way Rabuka leads.

One of the reasons for the reshuffle, of which I have been reliably informed through our grapevine, is that PM Rabuka is not at all happy with Mr Bainimarama and Mr Qiliho being proven not guilty in our court of law by learned Magistrate Seini Puamau. But don’t be surprised if she is removed silently by the powers that be.

PM Rabuka does not recognize or respect our Constitution, which he swore on oath during his appointment as PM, and that is why he has appointed Filimoni Vosarogo as Attorney-General in place of Siromi Turaga.

The Fiji Law Society is totally against Vosarogo’s appointment as A-G because he has already pleaded guilty to three disciplinary proceedings against him before the Independent Legal Services Commission.

Thus, his appointment is totally against our 2013 Constitution under Section 96(2)(b), and if Vosarogo has some dignity left in him, he must recuse himself as a lawyer to further avoid future embarrassment for him, the PAP and the Coalition Government.
