The Judicial Services Commission (JSC) is set to convene tomorrow to discuss matters pertaining to Acting FICAC Commissioner Lavi Rokoika. Speculation has arisen regarding recommendations made by the commission about her position to President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, yet no official confirmation has been issued.
The details surrounding a recent meeting between commission chairman, Chief Justice Salesi Temo, and the President remain undisclosed by both the JSC and the President’s Office. This lack of transparency has led to heightened interest and anticipation regarding the commission’s forthcoming decisions.
An emergency meeting was convened by the JSC on February 27, along with consultations with the Attorney-General, following a High Court ruling that deemed the Prime Minister’s advice and the President’s decision of June 2, 2025, to revoke Barbara Malimali’s appointment as unlawful and beyond their powers. In light of this judgment, the commission plans to provide independent recommendations to the President regarding the implications of the ruling.
As this situation unfolds, it’s essential for the public and all stakeholders involved to remain informed about the JSC’s decisions and their potential impact on the governance of the FICAC.
