Opposition MP Faiyaz Koya expressed concern in Parliament that the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Justice, Law and Human Rights was not invited to the first-ever Justice Summit.
Koya addressed Acting Attorney General Siromi Turaga, stating that the committee's exclusion was notable, especially given the summit's discussion of the final report on the Fiji Law and Justice Sector and the Law and Justice Sector Roadmap for Reform 2025-2029.
When you speak of legislative coordination, you must remember that Parliament forms one of the most basic parts of any Justice Sector Roadmap.
Koya emphasized the importance of Parliament in the Justice Sector Roadmap, as it is where laws are made and reviewed, and the Standing Committee on Justice, Law and Human Rights plays a crucial role in this process.
