Prime Minister and Chair of the Constitutional Offices Commission Sitiveni Rabuka, left the Old Parliament Complex in Veiuto, Suva.

He was there for the Commission of Inquiry hearing, which will assess and determine whether the appointment process of Barbara Malimali as Commissioner of the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption was conducted with integrity, fairness, and transparency, in accordance with the law.

Rabuka says that he expected the inquiry to be tough; however, the questions asked were out of his affidavit.

“They need to get to the bottom of it and I have explained my part.”

However, he did not reveal much regarding the questions asked.

Opposition leader of parliament and COC member Inia Seruiratu says this is part of good governance and everything has to be revealed.

Seruiratu will appear as a witness tomorrow.
