Cabinet will discuss a paper next Tuesday for the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry into the recent issues surrounding FICAC, a terms of reference and the list of members that should be part of the Commission.

Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says it is important to take this step to ensure the credibility of the institutions are maintained.

Rabuka stresses that there will be no heavy handed approach from the government that he leads while responding to questions regarding the allegations of threats made by the Acting Deputy Commissioner of FICAC, Francis Puleiwai.

He says it is just speculation, he does not know whether Puleiwai reported anything to the Police, and he also noted that the ABC report was pulled down as they questioned the credibility of some of the information disclosed in the interview.
