Orisi Rabukawaqa is a Fijian career soldier. By early 2006, he held the rank of lieutenant colonel and was one of two official spokesmen for the Military, the other being Major Neumi Leweni.[1][2]

In his role as spokesman, Rabukawaqa articulated a number of criticisms of government policies,[3] including the promotion of the controversial Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill, which sought to empower a Commission to compensate victims and pardon perpetrators of the Fiji coup of 2000.
