Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and Police Commissioner Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka says a clearance given by the court does not mean suspended Police Commissioner Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho will be reinstated.

While responding to questions on fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan, Rabuka says the matter will be brought up in the next Constitutional Offices Commission meeting

When questioned what the next step will be as Qiliho is suspended, Rabuka says the next step will be termination according to the contract.

Meanwhile, FijiFirst MP Jone Usamate says Rabuka made the statement that the next option was to terminate Qiliho and he thinks this was a drastic thing to say even before a tribunal to be called.

While speaking during a press conference, he says this is not fair and it is not the way it works and if there is a case, it should go through the tribunal which makes the decision and not for the Prime Minister to say that he will be terminated.

Usamate says this means that the decision has already been made and he hopes that its not.

He says when you attack the constitution, you attack democracy and when you attack the institution, you attack democracy. FijiFirst MP Viliame Naupoto says it is almost a year since the Police Commissioner, Corrections Commissioner, Chief Justice and DPP have been suspended on full pay and now there are people who are being paid to act on the job.

He says a tribunal has been appointed and being paid for nothing.

Naupoto is urging the government to serve the people and not survive.
