A former Fiji Commerce Commission chairman, Charles Sweeney, says his removal does not identify any grounds for dismissal.
The Fiji Times quotes him saying that the letter from the Attorney-General, Aiyas Sayed-Khaiyum, sacking him does not identify any grounds for dismissal.
Mr Sweeney says under the Commerce Act, he could only be dismissed for misbehaviour, incompetence, incapacity or failure to comply with the pecuniary interest provisions.
He says that is there to ensure the Commerce Commission is independent of the Minister and cannot be dictated to by government.
Mr Sweeney says none of the grounds apply to him.
He says the Attorney-General's letter refers to current issues in telecommunications
