Senior Barrister Janet Mason is confident that the recommendations made following the Commission of Inquiry into the appointment of Barbara Malimali if implemented will restore the public’s trust.
This is especially for State institutions that were the subject of the report.
The recommendations have led to the removal of Malimali and Lisiate Fotofili from FICAC, as well as the dismissal of Graham Leung from his position as Attorney General.

When asked by FBC News about her feelings regarding the work they did, Mason stated that she is confident they undertook their roles with integrity and without fear or favour.
She acknowledged that the process was at times challenging but stressed that they managed to navigate through it and produced a report they are confident will restore the public’s faith and trust in some state institutions.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has yet to decide on the next Attorney General and has ruled out Lynda Tabuya, who some had speculated might be appointed.
Rabuka has reiterated that the report will be made public and has urged the public to be patient and allow due process to take its course.
