On the appointment of an Attorney-General, Mr Rabuka said none of his current Cabinet colleagues was suitable for the position, meaning the search would have to extend beyond Parliament.
“None of them can take this. We have to look outside now,” he said.
The Attorney-General’s portfolio will remain vacant until a suitable candidate from outside Parliament is found.
