Deputy Permanent Secretary Colonel Apakuki Kurusiga said the proposed by laws are now being discussed at the tikina and provincial council level and he confirms that the clothes that people wear in the villages is addressed in the proposed by laws.
Colonel Kurusiga also confirmed that in the proposal only females are not allowed to wear shorts.
