JSC begins selection for DPP, FICAC posts

The Judicial Services Commission (JSC) will begin assessing applications for the posts of Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) Commissioner and Director of Public Prosecutions after the application period closed last Friday.

The vacancies closed on July 24, with the commission now expected to evaluate applicants before making its recommendations.

JSC secretary Tomasi Bainivalu urged the public to respect the recruitment process and await the commission's direction before any information was disclosed.

This newspaper understands that former Acting Deputy Commissioner of FICAC Francis Puleiwai is among those who have applied for the position of FICAC Commissioner.

Following the assessment process, the JSC will submit its recommendations to the President, who will make the final appointments to the two key legal positions.
