The Acting Director of Public Prosecutions, David Toganivalu, has decided that no charges will be laid in the cases of:

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka and Minister For rural development Sakiasi Ditoka, Former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, President of the Methodist church of Fiji Ili Vunisuwai and former Fiji Police Force Chaplain Reverend Waisale Tikowale. They’re alleged offence was urging political violence and inciting communal antagonism.

Opposition MP Mosese Bulitavu’ s alleged offence was causing harm through electronic communication.

The police files were sent to the DPP for an assessment of the evidence and a decision on whether any charges should be laid following the complaints.

The Acting DPP stated that after a review of the police docket and the evidence, it is their opinion
that there is insufficient evidence to support any criminal charges against the suspects in their
respective matters, therefore, the docket has been returned to police with the instructions not
to charge and no further action is required..
