Former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, currently serving at the Nasinu Correction Center, is under investigation for unauthorized phone usage and violating prison regulations.
The Commissioner of Corrections, Dr. Jalesi Nakarawa, is conducting a comprehensive investigation to understand the breach and prevent its recurrence.
Any individuals found negligent or complicit in the matter will face appropriate disciplinary actions.
The High Court’s court order mandated a medical plan for Bainimarama, including using his mobile phone for his pacemaker app.
The Federal Corrections Service (FCS) is reviewing its policies and procedures to strengthen controls over inmates’ medical treatment, including the use of mobile phones in such cases.
This includes reassessing protocols for granting special accommodations to prisoners with medical needs to ensure security.
