The Prime Minister, 'Akilisi Pohiva, said in a statement on Wednesday that he had refused to accept the resignation of his Police Minister Mateni Tapueluelu.
The prime minister in a statement said Mr Tapueluelu, who is his son-in-law, was frustrated at the lack of cabinet support for his efforts to combat corruption in the police force.
Mr Moala said there are issues of corruption in the police but the government was using this to deflect from its lack of achievements over the past four years.
