A certain level of decorum is expected at all times—particularly when in uniform, whether that be Bula Friday wear or your official work attire, said Minister for Justice, Siromi Turaga.
He made the comments in relation to a video showing an altercation involving acting Fiji Corrections Services (FCS) Commissioner, Sevuloni Naucukidi.
Mr Turaga said preliminary investigations indicate that the footage is from an earlier date.
“We have contacted the owners of the establishment, who have confirmed that the video likely dates back to early March 2025,” he said.
“While we are yet to determine the exact date, we have sought verification from the relevant parties.”
“This serves as a reminder to all public office holders and civil servants that a certain level of decorum is expected at all times—particularly when in uniform, whether that be Bula Friday wear or your official work attire.”
“All officers are expected to behave responsibly during official hours and outside of official hours.”
The Minister has been in touch with the Commissioner and staff of the FCS.
“Decorum is expected of all officers, especially when in uniform—whether it is Bula Friday wear or the official uniform of the Fiji Corrections Services.”
“While social interaction is part of our way of life, I urge everyone to remain mindful of their conduct and to uphold discipline at all times.”
