Director of Immigration Sent on Leave Amid Investigation

Amelia Komaisavai, the Director of Immigration, has been placed on leave, according to reliable sources.

The decision was made by Mason Smith, the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Home Affairs and Immigration.

Sources say Komaisavai’s leave is connected to an investigation into the issuing of passports to children of people linked to the Grace Road human rights allegations.

This move follows the decision of Home Affairs and Immigration Minister Pio Tikoduadua to temporarily step aside while the police conduct an investigation into the matter.

The situation is still developing, and further updates are expected.
