PM Rabuka Criticizes NGO Coalition's TRC Comments

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has labeled the NGO Coalition on Human Rights' concerns about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) appointments as "a feeble attempt to be relevant."

The Coalition claimed the integrity of the TRC is compromised due to the government's appointment process, which they argued should have been handled by the President.

They specifically opposed Dr. Marcus Brand's appointment as Chair.

Rabuka defended the appointments, stating that the Cabinet ensured the Commissioners were a political and the Chair was internationally qualified.
