Minister for Justice Siromi Turaga has returned to his old portfolio in an acting position.
Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka appointed Turaga to act as Attorney General.
This will be in effect until a substantive Attorney General is appointed.
Turaga is replacing Graham Leung, who was dismissed by the Prime Minister last Friday.
Leung was appointed as a Minister of the Cabinet to serve as Attorney General on June 5th last year.

Siromi Turaga was removed from his position as Attorney-General on June 5th last year by the Prime Minister.
He was succeeded by Graham Leung, a veteran lawyer and former president of the Fiji Law Society.
