Commissioner David Ashton-Lewis has revealed he found a “wannabe prime minister” to be one of the nine persons he has implicated in the Commission of Inquiry report.
He made the revelation while speaking to Radio 4CRB in Gold Coast, Australia on a program, titled “The Judge”.
Justice Ashton-Lewis said if Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka acts on his recommendation, “he will never be the Prime Minister.”
“There’s always going to be aggrieved people who think they can do it better,” he said.
“One of these people that I identified was someone who’s well, they all smile at his face and stab him in the back if they get the chance.”
“And one of them is a wannabe Prime Minister, and he thinks he should be.”
“Well, if Sitiveni Rabuka acts, he’s never going to be Prime Minister, because I found disgraceful things that he was doing, yet smiling to the Prime Minister, I’m your greatest loyal man?”
“Well, he wasn’t.”
“And in law, you have heard me say, none protest their innocence so loudly as the guilty, none protest their honourability so loudly as the dishonourable. He fits into that category
