Attorney General Siromi Turaga has emphasized that Francis Kean, the former Fiji Corrections Service Commissioner, has not been charged and should not be treated as a person of interest.<\/p>\n
Turaga made this statement yesterday during an interview with the media.<\/p>\n
He says he has encountered Kean casually outside the Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) building, just like any other free citizen.<\/p>\n
Turaga clarified that there are no restrictions on anyone meeting Kean, and there is no reason to treat him differently than any other citizen.<\/p>\n
Kean resigned from his post, and Turaga confirmed that they are in the final stages of sorting out the position of the next commissioner, which will be advertised soon.<\/p>\n
Salote Panapasa is currently serving as the acting correction commissioner.<\/p>\n
The Attorney General\u2019s remarks come in the wake of rumours about Kean\u2019s alleged involvement in a recent incident.<\/p>\n
However, Turaga has stressed that Kean has not been charged, and until then, he should be treated like any other citizen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
