Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has opened the door to stepping down, conceding he personally made the decision now under legal scrutiny as pressure mounts following today’s court ruling.
Facing calls to resign over decisions that have since been reassessed and the latest case, Mr Rabuka acknowledged resignation was firmly on the table.
“I will consider it. I am considering it,” Mr Rabuka said when asked whether he would step aside.
Pressed on whether resignation was a real option, the Prime Minister was blunt: “Yes.
That is an option.”
Mr Rabuka went further, taking personal responsibility for the advice at the centre of the case and distancing others from blame.
