  • Former Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica has been acquitted of perjury and giving false information charges.
  • The Suva Magistrates Court cleared Kamikamica of all allegations against him.
  • The charges related to his testimony during a Commission of Inquiry into the appointment of a former FICAC Commissioner.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica is now a free man after the Suva Magistrates Court acquitted him on charges of perjury and giving false information to a public servant. The court's decision effectively clears Kamikamica of all allegations he faced.

The charges stemmed from evidence Kamikamica provided under oath during a Commission of Inquiry. This inquiry focused on the appointment of the former Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) Commissioner. It was alleged that between December 2024 and March 2025, Kamikamica made false statements regarding his non-involvement in the appointment of former FICAC Commissioner Barbara Malimali, despite allegedly knowing these statements to be untrue.

The acquittal brings an end to the legal proceedings against Kamikamica concerning these specific charges. Further details regarding the case and the court's reasoning are expected to follow.
