Commissioner Fuiavailili Egon Keil said he received a letter signed by the caretaker Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP) member for Faleata West, Leala'ilepule Rimoni Aiafi.

Fuiavailili confirmed to
RNZ Pacific the complaint related to FAST's impromptu swearing-in outside parliament on 24 May, which the Supreme Court last week ruled was not legal because of the Head of State's absence.
