Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka says all issues will be considered when dealing with the Minister for Education, Aseri Radrodro’s rejection of the Permanent Secretary appointment as ministers do not have powers under the constitution to interfere in the process.
These include the convention according to the constitution, the convention of negotiation or look at it purely based on law as abuse of office.
Rabuka says he will deal with the issue regarding the Minister for Education, Aseri Radrodro rejecting the appointment of the Permanent Secretary, Selina Kuruleca, after parliament.
He has made it clear to fijivillage News that the convention according to the constitution is clear where the Public Service appoints Permanent Secretaries with the agreement of the Prime Minister, and the other is convention of negotiation.
When asked by fijivillage News if this opens the doors for other ministers to reject appointments although they do not have the powers under the constitution to do that, Rabuka says they also have to look at the issue of abuse of office.
