The Office of the President has confirmed that the Tribunal’s report on allegations of misconduct against suspended Director of Public Prosecutions Christopher Pryde, does not need to be made public at this stage.
The Tribunal, chaired by Justice Anare Tuilevuka with Justices Chaitanya Lakshman and Samuela Qica, has completed its inquiry and submitted its findings to the President, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu.
The President will review the report, conduct consultations, and seek necessary advice before releasing it.
Due to holiday leave, this process will continue in the New Year.
“It is acknowledged that the Report does not need to be made public as required in section 112(6) of the Constitution, and His Excellency will do so as soon as he has properly considered it.”
Mr Pryde had formally written to the Office of the President, requesting that a copy of the report be made available to him.
