Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama will announce the public consultations for the formulation of the new Fijian constitution next week.
Commodore Bainimarama said we are all Fijians and race, religion and ethnicity do not divide us.
He said the new constitution will affirm that there will be no discrimination, no ethnic voting and establish the democratic principle of one person, one vote, one value.
The Prime Minister said the momentum in the drive to write the new constitution has not slowed.
He said we have ideas to share and expects every interested Fijian to share their ideas with the government.
Commodore Bainimarama said recovery from damage caused by the recent floods was an urgent problem that could not wait.
While that is being dealt with, the announcement on the constitution consultations will be made next week.
Stay with us we will have Commodore Bainimarama’s interview later this afternoon.
