The Fiji Women’s Crisis Cen­tre coordinator, Shamima Ali, has confirmed that she has not received any reports against President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere on allegations of sexu­al harassment.

This is amid claims on social me­dia that she has chosen to remain quiet about the issue.

In recent days, Ratu Wiliame has been under the spotlight after alle­gations of him sexually harassing his female staff members surfaced on social media.

When contacted yesterday, Ms Ali said: “If the victim came to the of­fice, we would take the necessary actions and resolve the issue as soon as possible.

“If it’s the President or the any person with high social status we will act accordingly, the law will always stand regardless those who hold high authority.”

Acting Police Commissioner Juki Fong also confirmed that no re­ports were received from their end.

Ms Ali said she had read the al­legations on social media, but the victim has not reported or ap­proached the organisation yet.

Meanwhile, Ratu Katonivere did not respond to Fiji Sun when this edition went to press.
