Suspended Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem and suspended Fiji Corrections Service Commissioner Francis Kean will be paid allowances and entitlements provided in their respective contracts.
The decision was announced by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka following the Constitutional Offices Commission meeting at Suvavou House yesterday afternoon.
Rabuka says the commission has passed the resolution and voted in favour that Saneem be paid the allowances and entitlements provided in his contract, dated 16th February 2021.
Saneem was suspended in January this year after the COC received a complaint of misbehaviour against him.
Rabuka adds the commission has also voted in favour that Kean be paid allowances and entitlements provided in his contract, dated 27th September 2021.
Kean was suspended on the advice of the COC in the same month.
Meanwhile the Commission has also appointed a three-member tribunal to investigate the allegations of misbehavior against the suspended Commissioner of Police Sitiveni Qiliho.
The Prime Minister did not reveal the names of the appointed members, saying it is confidential.
Rabuka states that following the COC meeting yesterday, the resolutions that were passed aim to rectify past issues and improve the functioning of the respective offices.
Rabuka states they have also tasked the Secretary of the Commission with drafting standard operating procedures to address past disconnects and ensure smoother operations.
