Fiji must have a Judiciary

Sunday, November 01, 2009

The Chief Justice Anthony Gates has hit out at the continued interference into the judiciary of Australia and New Zealand.

Speaking at a media conference Gates said these two countries cannot tell or form the judiciary of another country.

“Fiji must have a judiciary. And it is not for Australia and New Zealand to tell us we cannot have one or to tell us who we are to appoint. No international convention allows such a supervisory role to a neighboring state.”

His comment comes after High Court Judge Justice Angela Wati was initially denied a visa to New Zealand for the medical treatment of his young son.

However after numerous reports in the media Gates says NZ granted the visa application.

Meanwhile the government of Sri Lanka has sent its some of it’s serving judges and magistrates to help Fiji’s judiciary get back to its full capacity.

Gates says they are expected to arrive into the country tomorrow.
