All Rewa Provincial Council meetings have been suspended until the government decides to call the next meeting for the provincial council.
This is after the provincial council meeting yesterday where some members of the council were continuing to push for the provincial council to oppose the government’s People’s Charter and other initiatives.
Military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Neumi Leweni said only a few people were pushing their agenda in the meeting.
Lieutenant Colonel Leweni said the provincial council which is funded by the government has been advised that there will be no more meetings for now based on what transpired yesterday.
But he stressed that some tikinas in Rewa have fully supported the government’s initiatives and they will continue to be assisted.
Lieutenant Colonel Leweni said further decisions will be taken soon.
